I am a firefighter, and I can attest to the fact that yes electricity can start fires, but so can fireplaces, barbecue grills, stoves and ovens, and pretty much anything else in most peoples homes. having an electric car does not put you at any higher risk of fire. if you have faulty wiring in your home you are already at risk. BTW lots of fires are started just by people parking their gas burners next to or over something flammable. The exhaust is hot enough to ignite dry grass a foot away.
