Just to normalize numbers, if my math is right in the US that’s:

  • EVs 3/10,000
  • ICE 150/10,000 (😱)

I’m really uninformed so this is just coming from a Joe-consumer perspective but I would guess EVs catching fire at double the rate in the US vs Korea must be manufacturer related, right? I’d guess the US is mostly Tesla and Korea is mostly BYD?

Car and/or battery manufacturer would be my guess, too.

Korea probably has many Hyundai/Kia cars ... but thats just guessing.
