I think you'll find that the energy density and energy co-location of a gas tank to be far greater than a battery.

Far more negative outcomes are possible with highly flammable fuel only separated from the outside world by a thin metal membrane.

But fuel requires a spark or heat to ignite , a lithium battery pack can explode or catch fire after being punctured and the internals exposed to air.
