Hmmm,

Depends on what type of Li battery chemistries are used in those vehicles.

LiFePO4 cells can't self combust for example:

Safety[ edit]

One important advantage over other lithium-ion chemistries is thermal and chemical stability, which improves battery safety. [46] [37][ better source needed] LiFePO4 is an intrinsically safer cathode material than LiCoO2 and manganese dioxide spinels through omission of the cobalt, whose negative temperature coefficient of resistance can encourage thermal runaway....

Your iPhone is much, much more dangerous.

But thanks to it's battery cell management system it's relatively safe.

We have to keep those cells within the SOA (safe operating area).

But it can combust and start a fire!

Many BEV's are manufactured with LiFePO4 cells today.
