It is exactly a risk per unit of vehicles. You say it isn't, because you desperately want your years long crusade trying to engender a fear of EV fires to remain relevant.
Stop wasting your time arguing. He and Other Anti EV-ers will use whatever fits their ICE/Gas narrative. Its like people saying Plane crashes are dangerous because almost everyone who crashes dies vs a car. But they can't see the flaw in logic that Planes are the safest form of transportation.
People who put up dumb stats to say charging at home is expensive is just dumb. Not worth even debating. I spend 1/3-1/4 vs gas of a similar car. My Tesla Y outperforms my Old X5 in almost all metrics but do it at 1/4 the cost.
Talk about Li+ fires but Tesla is about the safest car I have ever been in. The technology to prevent accidents is exceptional. I was in a highway accident and got rear ended by someone going prob 50-60mph when I was at a standstill during rush hour. When I was hit, it felt like it would when a rollercoaster starts with that Jolt. I got out of My car and the back looked it like took a 30mph hit. The other car looked like the whole front was gone. Barely a scratch, no pain afterwards. This car is a ROCK. Heavy yes, but It is built SOLID. Car was totaled because of battery replacement costs which is expensive BUT my life is worth way more than extra repair costs.
I drive from Austin to CS alot and do it with 95% FSD driving. I can eat while just looking at the road and just an easier ride now with the car always in the middle of the lanes.
I will take my chances with the rare fire vs the more common car accident giving me a better chance of walking away unhurt. Just like the Plane vs car debate; you Never Tesla group just sound dumb.
This is why my family is going all EV. No need for ICE. Charging is a breeze. I have lived Tesla x 4 years and no one has ever complained about range/charging issues.
