I'm sure in the distant future when a lot of people own EVs the percentage of vehicle fires will be much closer together. It's quite sad when people neglect their vehicles--I wonder how long an EV would last with those owners. You know it will be marketed as requiring less maintenance than a traditional vehicle.

As far as I know, the Model S is the only model. It was in response to a Tesla fire that was determined to be caused by something penetrating the undercarriage of the car. Perhaps they built a tougher undertray in the proceeding models.
What is there to neglect maintenance wise with an EV? Wiper fluid? Wipers? Tires?
You seem to be looking for ways to cast EVs in a negative light; ways which don't make any sense. There's plenty of reasons to not want an EV, such as the higher cost, the limited range, the slow charging... there's no need to create a false perception that they are also high maintenance or particularly prone to fire.
