Also, I actually had a vehicle from 1987 that totally flooded the cylinders with gasoline due to a fault in the carburetor, and even then it didn't explode when I started it.

Seriously though, what's up with these EV's that'll just as soon randomly burn your garage and house down while you're asleep and the car isn't even running?

    This is quite true.

    Still, gasoline doesn't have a tendency to up and spontaneously combust all on its own, it takes some sort of external spark or flame to ignite.

    Lithium batteries play a different game of Russian Roulette though. The car doesn't even have to be running for one worn out cell to overheat and cause a catastrophic chain reaction blowing the entire battery pack.
