Every year one out of every 1355 gasoline cars on the road will catch fire.
In comparison there are enough electric cars on the road that last year statistics say that 11 of them should have caught fire, yet the only car that would have fit those statistics wasn't even the source of the fire! it was not related to the car, the charging station or any of the wiring hooked up to the charging station and as has been pointed out, the other two that caught fire were crashed, rolled over and put in storage improperly where they caught fire weeks later.
But the fact of the matter is that they should investigate and see what we can learn or any way that they can be made safer, but to say that they are dangers vehicles is unreasonable.
