I have hard time believing the stats in the picture.

So around 3.5% of all the hybrids eventually die in fire? Really? That number seems like it's way too high.

I know EVs are safer in this regard, but I just can't believe hybrids and gasoline cars being that bad. Do we have a source for this information?

P.S. The photos seem to be AI generated FWIW...

Furthermore, if its a world-wide stat, these chinese govt has produced a massive amount of EVs that they've parked in the middle of no where. If the EVs in the stats aren't being driven, this isnt accurate.

I do not have anything against EVs, just misleading stats. But cant verify with no sources listed.
