As of 2016 there were over 500,000 electric vehicles sold in the US. (Source: https://www.recode.net/2016/12/21/14041112/electric-vehicles-report-2016)

You're documenting 11 examples of electric vehicles catching on fire. Are all of these fires due to the battery or technology that make the vehicles "electric"? Let's assume yes. Are there more than these 11 instances? If not, this is immaterial and doesn't represent a safety concern.

If 1% of the EVs were catching on fire we might have something to talk about - that would be over 5,000 vehicles catching on fire. I don't think were any where close to that number...but if I'm wrong, let's talk.
