As I said earlier, ICE vehicles are 10x more likely to catch fire. EVs just get more attention. Just as more people are killed each year in automobile accidents than plane crashes, but which makes the news?
EV batteries last for over 10 years. Longer than most people keep their cars. Even when they are no longer able to power the car, they can be repurposed as stationary power sources. After that, most of the materials can be recycled to manufacture new cells.
