statistical data shows ICE cars much more likely than EV's to catch fire - while EV's do catch fire accounting for number of cars on the road - you are at greater risk of fire with a gasoline car vs. EV…

this is click bait level of "news".

Yeah but we all know EV is very new and now fool proof Compare to Regular cars.

no - it means there is a very very small statistical probability your car may catch on fire, but less likely your EV will catch on fire vs. your existing ICE vehicles.

there are many many many things you do not consider risky that are more risky than your Taycan catching fire while you are away on a trip.

regarding that fire, AFAIK there has been no follow up to ascertain that it was the car that caught fire. there was also a golf cart charging in that garage. I am local to where this happened and there was no reporting beyond the original post blaming the car.

this was posted on facebook by the local fire dept.

note the lack of mention of the car in the report.

I think I’ve read about two Taycan fires in the last four years. Non issue.

buy a mega millions ticket, you have a better chance of winning that.

Other than lighting your tires on fire with traction control off during launch control, I think you are pretty safe with Taycan.

Interesting report. Thanks for sharing.
Two other items I learned from the report:
-- 46% of vehicle fires are caused by arson - the biggest cause.
--Since thermal abuse leads to battery fires, @ciaranob may need to consider air conditioning his Texas garage which has nighttime low temps of 100 F/38 C.

Call me a safety mom, but I don't think "fool proof" and "cars" should ever be in the same sentence, regardless of power source.

Yep, every time we leave without our Taycans we put them in our driveways. Every one of us. Every. Single. Time.
