Petrol and diesel ignite - your car excepted, as it is on blocks more than it is on tyres - 100% of the time.
EV are they worth it?

No petrol and diesel ignition in mobile phones & e-scooters. There, lithium ignites in more places.

How many electric car fires versus ice cars?
Should be "how many lithium ignitions verses ice cars?"

OK. How many fires of each?
Lots of mobile phone fires on youtube. Typically, like this:
I forgot, powertools go up in flames too:

No ice fires. Struggling to find them?
Any comparison figures ?

Google is your friend, a Google for percentage internal combustion engine car fire to electric cars got.
EV FireSafe, funded by Australia's Department of Defence, investigated the issue as well. They found that there is a 0.0012 % chance of a passenger electric vehicle battery catching fire. In contrast, the chance of an internal combustion engine vehicle setting on fire is 0.1%.
Oh, and in general ice does not burn, it turns into water, then steam.

Almost all of them, quite probably
Electric car batteries explained | AutoTrader
Learn about electric car batteries: from how they work and how long they last, to EV battery range, leasing and what happens at the end of their life cycle.www.autotrader.co.uk
"The electric car battery has been designed to withstand the test of time, and whilst manufacturers typically offer warranties of around eight to 10 years and/or 100,000 miles, many EV batteries last twice as long. This is comparable with the lifespan of conventional petrol or diesel cars."
But with greatly reduced range/performance.
If the ICE has had sensible servicing, it's range and performance should be virtually as new.
The comparison is that lithium is igniting everywhere. Petrol and diesel don't. It's to do with probabilities. Your apprenticeship probably hasn't yet taught you that word.
EVs are vastly higher performance than any ICE, and plenty can outperform so-called 'supercars' costing millions.But with greatly reduced range/performance.
As for range - the same tired old nonsense where a vocal minority try and convince themselves that they simply must have 600+ mile range because that is their daily drive while towing a caravan up a mountain.
Only in your mind and in videos created by dodgy car sales types.
What percentage of lithium ion batteries spontaneously ignite?
