Reply to comment by One_Blue_Glove in Kenya’s Producing Its First Electric Buses — 1,000 Buses Over 3 Years by Peugeot905

Tesla's actually have a lesser chance of exploding, American and European (Japan, AU, & NZ included) countries have very high standards compared to the rest of the world. The fact that it happens, even with higher standards, means that there is a tenfold chance that it will happen elsewhere. If the Kenyan justice system was stronger on big business, you wouldn't see this deal happening.

I will defend Tesla when it comes to things like this. Musk didn't create Tesla nor did he design anything for them, thousands of brilliant engineers created Tesla. I'm not saying or suggesting that you should buy a Tesla, because you shouldn't but only because Musk is the CEO and signs off on things that quite ready yet

Could you cite this?

I can only cite sources that wouldn't give a definitive result. There simply aren't enough EV's in the US or Europe on the road to give comprehensive is one better than the other when it comes to manufactures in the US, but I never argued that. EV fires are less likely to happen than ice vehicles.

Manufacturer BYD, the leading electric vehicle manufacturer, is involved in the largest number of episodes.
