Tesla vehicles have had a fire rate of one for every 175 million miles traveled, compared to the U.S. average of a vehicle fire for every 19 million miles traveled.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, Tesla’s fire rate is significantly lower than the national average, with one fire per 170 million miles driven.
A study by the University of Berkeley found that electric vehicle fires, including Tesla, occurred at a rate of 4 per billion miles, which is significantly lower than gasoline vehicles.
What’s Tesla’s fire rate per million miles?
And an ‘average fire rate of 1.5 crashes per million miles’ is unclear.
What’s the distinction between crashes and fires here? Is like to make sense of the stats.
Let me google that for you:
