20 times less likely compare to an ICE vehicles of similar model and age.

The amount of EVs on the road in Norway is fairly close to the number of ICE vehicles. So the statistics coming from those areas are very robust.

Everyone I know and almost every neighbor has an EV. Basically every new car sold is an EV. None of these EV's have catched on fire as far as I know. It's not really a problem.
