I wonder if this is a result of super-powerful cheap battery-powered
things.

A couple of my employees have been hurt driving over-powered ebikes
and scooters in the city. As the article says, the casualties are
mostly males, people who enjoy speed and acceleration.

It wouldn't shock me if it turned out that some deaths result from
mosfet failures in the (cheap) motor drivers.

It has probably got more to do with with more of them being bought and
used. Cars on regular roads are dangerous enough - all terrain vehicles
are designed for use on poorer quality roads, and more frequent
accidents are part of the package.

But you've adduced absolutely zero evidence to suggest that this is
actually a problem. Current statistics report that gasoline powered
vehicle catch on fire a at considerably higher rate than electric
vehicles - newspapers report the electrical vehicle fires with more
enthusiasm, precisely because they are less frequent.
