No. Firstly cell chemistry determines the risk. Some chemistries are really low risk others are high risk. SOC determines it further [ state of charge] the higher the SOC the higher the risk. BEV's have complex cell management systems that regulate all aspects of operating and charging performance. EBikes, believe it or not do not have such complex BMS and I would say that further investigation of the stats will tell you eBikes make up most call outs. Tesla were pioneers, yes, they had to deal with some bad press regarding thermal runaway issues, but they soon learnt and corrected the issue.
Dropping the car into water will not solve the fire. The chemical reaction during TR provides oxygen [ self generated] and the fires continue to burn. Fire Brigades beed to understand the chemistry in Lithium in order to learn how to deal with the fire. The percentage of fires for EV's is extremely low. Every fire is blamed on it, including ship fires.
Electric cars are very safe and I am surprised an EV focused magazines chooses to attack its own members.
🤣
