BYD cars actually seem to be more reliable than other electric car brands, as they have slightly higher raw numbers of incidents than other companies, but sell almost 10 times as many cars as their closest competitors.
Also, gas and hybrid vehicles are up to 100 times more likely to catch fire than EVs, so even if BYD were particularly bad they'd still be safer than most vehicles in America.
