I haven't got the details to hand but I think the stats show ICE cars are more likely to burst into flames. However, there are a couple of caveats. Firstly, there are a lot more older, possibly poorly maintained, ICE cars, that are more likely to burst into flames than newer EVs. Secondly, lithium battery fires are more difficult to put out and fire brigades have less experience in dealing with them whereas the methods for dealing with ICE fires have been developed over more than a century.
