Disassembled cars on fire at Sydney airport are not a common occurance and are absolutely news. The publisher is an Australian nes site for Australians, who don't really find EVs contraversial.

Are there also articles written when a gar car catches fire though? That is the key question.

If it was disassembled in the Sydney airport carpark and on fire, yes there would be. The circumstances are unusual enough regardless of power source here.
