Neither do lithium cells unless quite severely flawed. It takes electrical, thermal, and/or physical "abuse". Less than gasoline? Decent quality LiPE I could see arguing being on even ground plus or minus developed safety systems and standards. Other lithium chemistry... ok yeah. Bad quality cells? Duh. Their thresholds are a bit. Low.
Though. I suppose low quality gasoline isn't more likely to 'asplode(if anything in fact, I'd assume it would be less so XD). A low quality fuel handling system however... Well. Look up car recalls for the last 20-30 years. Electrical shorts in in-tank fuel systems in particular...
In contrast, poorly manufactured batteries are VASTLY more likely to fail, and fail spectacularly. This is especially terrible on classical lithium cells (I'm glaring at you Sony! Metal contaminants... really...). And just like gas, poorly managed... Well. You get the pattern.
