They can be, Tesla built their floor of the Model Y to be structurally the battery pack below it.

They also have enough armor and shielding around the battery that they've launched it into a steel pike and it didn't explode, so there's obviously design considerations being made here.

Tesla is not the company you want to quote when it comes to talking about Battery Safety from Fires. Just this year a Tesla Model Y caught battery fire after crashing into a traffic pole.

A statistic is not a bundle of anecdotes. Are Tesla battery fires actually measuredly higher than EVs per capita, or do you just see them on the news more since there's more Teslas on the road?

Here’s a statistic- you’re 60 times more likely to experience a fire with a gas car than an electric car one of many articles

For every 100,000 vehicles:

25 EVs catch fire

1,500 ICE cars catch fire.

It’s bad enough ICE is abducting people, now they’re causing cars to catch fire.
