They don't catch fire that often though.

Which is what that headline is about.

    While true, you should also mention that there's way more ICEs and (more importantly) the way they burn is much, much safer.

    You can't really extinguish lithium fire, it burns way hotter, and it's more toxic.

    Comparatively an ICE car burning is not a big deal; they almost never make other stuff around them burn, and also when they catch on fire it's pretty much exclusively only when people are still near/in them so there's A chance to notice it and do something about it.
