So far all EV fires have been in NMC batteries combined with poor battery management. Hybrids catch fire more than EVs for the same reason. eBikes built by armatures are notorious for NMC fires. LFP batteries solve the fire problem and cost less.

Generalizing fire safety to all EVs is FUD. The experience in the USA is negative since to date there are very few EVs with LFP batteries. NMC batteries use old technology and will go away as better chemistries go into production.

Anyone saying nuclear is cheap needs to show their analysis. There are no examples of nuclear being cheaper than today's solar and wind power. Nuke plants have all been subsidized in multiple ways to make them viable. Todays and tomorrows taxpayers take the hit. Generations will be stuck with managing waste from shuttered plants along with taking on the debt handed.
Another issue is the timeline. By the time any new nuclear plant is operational we will be deep into climate change. Solar and wind can be deployed quickly. In order to delay climate effects we need green energy now.
