Electric vehicle fires can result from various factors. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in EVs, may experience thermal runaway due to manufacturing defects, damage, or internal short circuits. Extreme crashes can damage the battery pack, leading to thermal events. Issues during charging, such as overcharging or using incompatible equipment, may cause overheating. Manufacturing defects in the vehicle or its components, including the battery pack, can also contribute to fire risks. Software or electronics malfunctions may lead to overheating. While these incidents are rare compared to the overall use of electric vehicles, ongoing advancements in battery technology and safety standards aim to mitigate these risks. Let me know in the comment section if you know any other reasons.
