The current statistical evidence is like comparing apples to oranges. The average age of cars on the road is 10-11 years. The majority of tesla vehicles have been built in the last few years. ICE fires are not only caused by accidents, but by other things such as short circuits and fuel leaks. These things are more common in older vehicles. When the average age of EV is comparable to ICE powered cars, then we can know that fires aren't less common in EVs just because they are newer.
