Busting the Myth: Gas Cars Catch Fire More Than Electric Cars!

Imagine you have two types of toys: a super cool remote-control car that runs on batteries, and a classic toy car that needs tiny bits of fuel. Sometimes, people get worried that the battery-powered car might get too hot or even catch fire. But guess what? The classic fuel-powered cars are actually much more likely to have fiery troubles!

For a long time, news stories focused a lot on electric cars (EVs) that caught fire. These stories made a big splash, and it made many people think that EVs were super dangerous. It's like seeing one video of a bike falling over and thinking all bikes are super wobbly and unsafe.
