Now please, post up any studies that show otherwise..

You've missed the point.

An ICE car fire is easily extinguished. An EV fire is NOT easily extinguished. In fact, even after it seems to be extinguished, it can relight itself again and again and again for days upon days.

And that's not the biggest issue - an ICE fire burns at around 1000F or so. HOT, right? Sure! However, that pales in comparison to the average heat of an EV fire - at 5000F is exponentially more dangerous, especially if near any structures.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - laptop battery EVs are ****ing garbage. Inside of 10 years, you won't see but a few on the roads.
