Are there any statistics out there that can make a comparison like this? I know there’s a comparison like this for vehicle fires and EVs came out way ahead
If these stats are hidden they shouldn’t be, all statistics should be able to be known

Important distinctions from new that might make the comparison less relevant.
ICE cars typically have relatively short warranty periods after which repairs are all on your dime.
EVs more typically have 8 year 100k+ mile warranties on battery and drivetrain so battery failures at cost haven’t been very prevalent yet. At the same time, the battery reconditioning business hasn’t really needed to expand because most cars haven’t timed out of battery warranties.
Other important distinction is that the ICE engine reliability is at steady state more or less. EV battery technology has already drastically evolved over the last 5 or 10 year period and should be trending even more reliable every year.
A typical drivetrain warranty for an ICEV is 5 years. Some are 6, some are 10 years.
But what does that have to do with the comparison? A failure is a failure, no matter who pays.
