One thing to consider when comparing BEV, Hybrids and ICE vehicles.I do know about lithium fires, nothing to like about them. They have happened. Some day sodium based batteries will be the ones to take the lead in ever changing battery tech. A Chinese company is said they will have them out in 2024 or 2025. https://www.catl.com/en/news/6013.html
Beloved statistics? No, they are not precious or dear to me, just statistics. You are just as capable as I am to do some digging. I do love my Mav and my Tesla though.
Despite their lower energy density and cycle life, Na-ion batteries are safer and perform better in a wide operational temperature range. They work on a similar principle to Li-ion cells and are expected to be at least 20% cheaper than LFP due to the fact that they are lithium-free.Feb 21, 2023

A number of these factories are already in existence with more coming.
I guarantee you that normal maintenance and repairs have to be done by much more specially trained technicians when working on BEV and Hybrid cars. Your run of the mill ICE car could be worked on by someone much less qualified. This variable would be very nice to know when discussing subjects like vehicle fires and other problems that all three types could possibly share.
