Are EVs more of a fire hazard than ICEs?

AutoExec Summary
There are two main questions to consider when comparing EV fires to ICE vehicle fires. The first is whether EVs are more likely to catch fire, and the second is whether EV fires are worse than ICE fires. While EV fires don’t appear to be more frequent, there is a lack of reliable data to draw definitive conclusions. However, research indicates that the risk of an EV fire is less likely than for ICE vehicles. Tests have shown that there is not a significant difference in the intensity or overall heat released between EV and ICE fires. In addition, the combustion of materials in an EV contributes more heat than the battery pack in the event of a fire. Brands mentioned: Hyundai.
