Statistically EVs are much less likely to catch fire than an ICE car. However, if they do catch fire they are the devil to extinguish (and keep extinguished). The good news is that you will have plenty of time and opportunity to safely evacuate the vehicle before a fire really takes hold, which is not always the case with ICE vehicles. The fire service are likely to 'control' an EV fire ie prevent the fire spreading elsewhere and just let the car burn itself out.@Mr Miserable I am
@Mr Miserable Thanks for the inside! What is the chance of catching my Tesla on fire after the usage? Let's say it might have been somehow damaged during the transport on the ship. Is it possible or this is highly unlikely? Or in general, how likely will my Tesla catch on fire?
Because exactly as you said, the press is really writing only about how EVs are catching in fires, but from what I have researched, this is not that common... What do you think?
There is little chance of your car being delivered damaged through being transported on a ship. The ship is responsible for the safe delivery of its cargo and car carriers are routinely moving cargo valued at over $200m. They wouldn't be in business if they damaged their cargo.
