It's a little more complicated than that. Since an ICE engine catches on fire so often (every 3 minutes, so 175,000 per year!) no one reports it. You cannot find it by searching google. You don't get meaningful results for "corvette fires" but they are happening. But teslas are almost always news. bolts aren't quite as important as teslas in terms of getting news. But it is interesting that there are not that many reports. Also, Volts (not bolts) should probably catch on fire as frequently as regular gas cars but I didn't find results online about that.
So in summary, (1) teslas are the hype car so issues get reported, (2) bolts have few reports, but they aren't quite the same hype car, but it is a good sign for bolts. (3) ice car fires don't get reported because they are so common. So it's hard to draw conclusions but I will offer that Bolts aren't terrible when it comes to fires because they'd probably get more reports.
Russia is hostile to western democracies and is actively attacking them. We should shun them and anything that comes from their country - especially media.
With that logic we should also shun the New York Times and the Washington Post. They both have cased huge damage to the United States and other western democracies.
The only difference between media like RT and for example the NYT is that RT is directly controlled by the state while the NYT is played like a puppet.
The blatant way RT is influenced is not acceptable in the Unites States however that does not mean the NYT and others are not used for propaganda.
Just think about it from the other side. If you were at the white house or working at the CIA and you needed to push your agenda (what ever that might be). How would you influence the media? What would prevent you from having some of your agents actually work a media outlet, or even for you to pay journalists directly? Or leak via trusted sources that the media loves to use? The media has a strong fear of missing out, how can you exploit that?

Edit: Sorry, this was the comment I was going for:
"In fact, all vehicles –both electric and gasoline-powered – have some risk of fire in the event of a serious crash." - NHTSA

See how that’s different than a private news organization being a little too obsequious?
