電車起火的概率遠遠低於油車

How common are these fires?

 

Australian firm EV FireSafe tracks passenger electric vehicle battery fires worldwide. From 2010 to June 2023, its database records only 393 verified fires globally, out of some 30 million electric vehicles on the road.

Australia recorded only four electric vehicle battery fires over the same period. One was linked to arson. The other three vehicles were parked in structures that burned down and destroyed the vehicles. So it appears these fires didn’t start in the batteries.

 

But electric vehicle numbers in Australia were low during this 13-year period.

 

Are the risks higher than for petrol or diesel cars?

As electric vehicle numbers grow, this week’s reports might lead some people to fear fire risks will increase. However, data for the past 13 years suggest quite the opposite is true as electric vehicles replace petrol and diesel vehicles.

 

A May 2023 report by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found vehicles powered by internal combustion engines were 20 times more likely to catch fire than electric vehicles in Sweden.

Sweden recorded 106 fires in various electrified modes of transport in 2022. More than half were in e-scooters (38) and e-bikes (20). Out of Sweden’s 611,000 electric vehicles, 23 fires (0.004%) were reported. The fleet of 4.4 million petrol and diesel vehicles recorded 3,400 fires (0.08%).

 

Globally, EV FireSafe found about 0.0012% of electric passenger vehicles caught fire from 2010 to 2023. While it was difficult to find similar global statistics for petrol and diesel vehicles, EV Firesafe used a range of country reports and found a much higher 0.1% risk of catching fire. That’s more than 80 times the rate EV Firesafe found for electric vehicles.

 

As well as 393 verified fires worldwide, the EV Firesafe database includes 74 incidents that are being investigated and 21 that have not been verified.

 

A 2020 Tesla internal report (not verified independently) suggested there was one Tesla fire for every 205 million miles (330 million kilometres) travelled. The Tesla report notes National Fire Protection Association data for the United States showed a much higher rate of one fire for every 19 million miles (30.6 million kilometres).

We still have limited data on fire risk in electric vehicles, most of which are relatively new. More statistically reliable comparisons require more data over much longer time frames.

電車技術改進的速度遠遠高於油車，所以，電車相對油車的安全性也會越來越好

 

最簡單的一個道理，就是你前麵沒有發動機那個大鐵塊，你活命的概率就已增加了很多！

• 我孩子也是這麽認為，他已經買了兩輛電車，現在這裏油價6刀多，他在晚上電便宜時衝電，省錢。 -yhr- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/23/2023 postreply 16:55:23

• 2018年俺買特斯拉前，對這個電車是否容易起火做了很詳細的研究， -dividend_growth- ♀ (357 bytes) () 09/23/2023 postreply 17:09:57

• 引導，被動地買自動駕駛，或者防撞軟件。翼龍自己的保險公司肯定要覆蓋“全修”，費用也不會太高。 -太宇- ♂ (0 bytes) () 09/24/2023 postreply 07:24:18

• 對，都沒車行能修，他的配套措施還不完善，有錢人可能不在乎，但賣車不能隻考慮有錢人 -testmobile- ♀ (0 bytes) () 09/24/2023 postreply 10:18:18
