Latest company news about Is EV fire risk really as big as social media makes it seem? 

If you spend any time on X or Reddit, you’ve probably seen videos of electric vehicles catching fire. They spread fast. They spark fear. And they often leave one big question in viewers’ minds:

"Would I know what to do if that happened next to me?"

But here’s what the data actually says:
EVs are far less likely to catch fire than gasoline or hybrid vehicles — roughly 60 times lower by some estimates. So why does it feel so common?

Because battery fires are unfamiliar. They burn longer, react differently, and challenge traditional firefighting methods. And in our social-media-driven world, “rare but scary” travels further than “statistically safe.”

That’s exactly why we built something not to scare you — but to quietly give you peace of mind.
