    I keep reading that they have the unfortunate quality of bursting into unquenchable flames sometimes though and burning down the apartment buildings they are in.

      Yes, but steady improvements in explosion mitigation continue to appear. Meanwhile, ICE vehicles explode in far greater numbers.

        True, but ICE vehicles are not stored inside apartment buildings and lithium battery fires are harder to extinguish.
