An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

I'm certain that I won't be able to put out an ice engine either. That's fire people territory and I trust them to know their business.
Well, I guess it's a good thing they rarely catch fire compared to combustion engine cars then.
Etc etc
Interesting, just read the guardian article, I do think that probably if the ICE fires are less reported that does mean their less bad. But regardless yeah, that is interesting
I live in a city where electric vehicles are at least 10% of the cars on the road. I have yet to see an electric vehicle fire, even on the news.
You are accurate. What are the practical consequences?
Gas station fires are devastating. I have not seen one of those locally either so I am not selling my gas guzzler to prevent gas station fires. There are bigger problems.

100% and you know the first time it happens is going to be super covered too because of the potential for "controversy".
