When was the last time you saw a car accident on the news where the car burst into flames ?

Maybe it's just a case that combustion engine based cars have had more time to resolve this issue properly.

Local traffic reporters (in Atlanta at least) have been known to call cars catching on fire 'Car-B-Qs'. It's a distasteful name but indicates that cars catching on fire isn't that uncommon.
