You have clearly made up a narrative you want to hear, that doesn't change the statistics that clearly shows EVs are significantly less prone (~20x) to catching fire compared to internal combustion vehicles.
How have I made up a narrative? My premise from the start was the absurdity of dismissing the dangers of vehicle fires, and there's data showing that a significant number of people die in EV fires. You've decided to argue that the deaths somehow matter less—that's making up a narrative to justify your, frankly, ludicrous position.
I'm sure that if somebody you loved died in such an event and somebody came along telling you that you're "an idiot" for having legitimate concerns, should be ignored and lumps you into a group of "disingenuous cunts," you'd have a different perspective.
