Are there any statistics out there that can make a comparison like this? I know there’s a comparison like this for vehicle fires and EVs came out way ahead
If these stats are hidden they shouldn’t be, all statistics should be able to be known

The problem is similar. Engines can have a bad seal, a crankshaft not right. These get replaced.
Batteries as a hole don’t just fail. A cell goes bad. We don’t have easy methods to replace the one.
At this early stage of EV, this needs a little regulation I think. Currently batteries are made as cheap as possible to make the car as cheap as possible, but this also means they’re a monolith by design. Batteries need to be designed to make them modular and more easily replaceable. With some kind of size/weight/harness regulation, all the car designers could start to look into designs that allow swapping them out.
