Just a quick update....I did another search through the NHTSA/DOT website and found one possibly two more EV engine fires. Originally I had looked under the catagory entitled "FUEL: FUEL LINES:HOSES:NON-METALLIC". Just for the heck of it I cruised through the other catagories and under "ENGINE" I found two more entries one occuring on August 4, 1994 (I believe that this is a duplicate of the engine fire found in the FUEL LINES catagory), the other occuring on January 4, 1996. As more info becomes available I will post.
