The article is about batteries that might catch fire less often.
ICEs catch fire much more often than EVs already. The comment was specifically about that.
The fires from EVs (ones that use lithium batteries that is) are incredibly hard to extinguish.
Sodium ion batteries don't ignite which makes them even safer.
Link to a video of a puncture test of Sodium cells.
And another one that's also cool.
That's nice and all but not what the headline compared and therefore not the point. That comparison was specifically between ICEs and EVs.
