How Many Gasoline Cars Catch Fire Every Year?

There are an estimated 284,130 gasoline cars that catch fire every year

You may be surprised to learn how many gasoline cars catch fire each year. According to our analysis of data found in the National Fire Protection Association, Reuters, and U.S. fire departments, there are an estimated 284,130 gasoline cars that catch fire every year.

These vehicle fires account for an estimated 480 deaths, 1,525 injuries, and $1.3 billion in property damage annually in the United States.

Let's see...

Hybird cars are the most likely type to ignite. What the people who track vehicle fires don't have is sufficient evidence as to the exact propensity of EV's to burn. But given the evidence from hybird cars, EV's will be increasingly found to burn more often than ICE vehicles as they increase in the market. EV fires are also damn near impossible to put out unlike a gasoline fire.

Given that the pump on a firetruck uses between 500 and 750 hp to run, you're gonna need one freaking huge battery to run that puppy for anything more than a few minutes...

Out of those "284,130 gasoline cars", how many of them spontaneously combust while sitting in a driveway?

Next door neighbors should ask EV owners for a copy of their car and home insurance policies, to see what they cover in case of damage from an “EV fireball” parked in the adjacent driveway.

Bound to happen. This is why many apt's. etc. will not allow EVs in their parking places.

Don't you love it when the sources you use leave out details.

One man told the Echo that after speaking to the owners of the car this morning they believed the cause of the fire was a 'malfunctioning electric car battery', although this has not been officially confirmed by the fire service.

The fire was also put out in 12 minutes.
'Crews were alerted at 9.51pm and were on scene at 9.57pm. Three fire engines attended. On arrival, crews found a two-storey detached house with the garage well alight. A car on the drive was also well alight.

'Two firefighters wearing breathing apparatus entered the property under rapid deployment to fight the fire. The fire was extinguished by 10.10pm.

Most people do not understand the correlation between low voltage, resistance and amperage, which is how electricity produces heat..
