While I agree with the sentiment, I think we have to acknowledge that a 2019 article on cars built between 2005 and 2014, ie cars up to 14 years old, needs to be put in context, maybe its a symptom of older cars starting to have age related failures which can cause fires such as failing insulation/hoses etc, Who knows what EV's will be like when they're coming up to 14 years old, maybe battery insulation starts to fail, the cooling circuits gunk up. I think its a little to early to assume EVs won't have age related issues of their own, and there's a well known roadster repair place in the US who's managed to have I think 3 EV fires now in his workshops, and they're the nearest we have to a 10+ year old cars
