These vehicles use large traction battery packs to power the motor. Safety systems in plug-in hybrid and electric cars automatically shut the power off and isolate the battery when a collision or short circuit is detected, lowering the likelihood of a fire. No matter how it is powered, the fire risk for any vehicle will never be zero.
