Right - that's why I wrote "surprisingly close"...

So you're worried about the vanishingly small chances of a car fire, even though the chances of such a fire are orders of magnitude LESS with an EV than with your ICEV....
Probably best if you never cross the street as a pedestrian either, as your chances of being hit by a car are far higher than your chances of experiencing a car fire...

My wife and I do a 400-mile (each way) road trip multiple times per year, her in her 650+mile range Audi Q5 TDi and me in my Model 3 Performance. The trip typically takes about 15-20 minutes longer in the Tesla than it does in the Audi. Hardly a deal-breaker, IMO but YMMV...
