    Sounds like correlated data. Is this per year, or since cars were invented? I’ve heard lots of horror stories about evs catching fire and locking occupants inside. That doesn’t happen with gas cars

      The locking inside thing is due to a weird number of EV’s insisting on completely electronically controlled door handles and locks. So if the electronics go out, you become trapped. If they just used normal mechanically controlled doors, that wouldn’t happen.

        I think China is banning hidden door handles so hopefully that drives the rest of the industry to get rid of it.
