@KP-xi4bj Your bias is based on old perception of inferior Chinese quality and not keeping up to date with the latest development. The fires you cited are usually PHEV, or older models of BYD cars that used previous generation of batteries, or are PHEVs. The current generation of BYD blade batteries, and CATL LFP batteries are far safer and infact industry leader, well ahead of Korean and Japanese competition by a mile. Then there is the cutting edge Zeekr Golden battery that will withstand fire up to 1000 degrees without catching fire. Beat that Panasonic or LG?

The same new fire-resistant materials the battery cell is made out of are claimed to not explode when subjected to extreme heat, which is reassuring, and to prove it Zeekr says when dropped in a fire pit at a temperature of 700C the Golden Battery didn't ignite or detonate for more than 240 seconds - December 2023, EV Central
