You must be confused with the Jeep recall where even parked cars just spotaneously catch fire.

It's insane to me how so many people bring up the idea of EVs catching fire when ICE vehicles are constantly having recalls for spontaneously catching fire.

I've had multiple recalls on multiple ICE cars advising me to not park the car near my house. I haven't with my EV.

It is almost as if gasoline is not a total safe material either.

Its almost like there's some kind of risk in carrying around a pile of easy to use high energy materials, who would have thought.
