I get the point, but your point is false.
ICE fires are no joke. I'd much rather crash in an EV than an ICE vehicle. That said, it probably doesn't matter much where the fire begins, because once the rest of the vehicle catches fire, it will burn to the frame.
I have witnessed 2 bad ICE fires. In the first, a Durango caught fire and within 2 min not even the back seats were clear of the flames. I know, because I tried to remove the audio amp before the flames could reach it, and was unable to.
The other fire consumed the vehicle within seconds and the driver was burned (I don't know if they died on impact, or were burned alive). The firemen kinda just let it burn a little before putting it out after having looked into the cabin and determining there was nobody getting out.
Anecdotes are dumb though, but not as dumb as arguing the opposite of statistical evidence.
