  1. Yet another electric vehicle goes up in flames and where does the smoke go? Into the atmosphere and the smoke from an electric vehicle is highly toxic 100 times more than a diesel or petrol vehicle going up. Also the batteries cannot be recycled so they go in landfill and again they are extremely toxic to the environment EV should be banned. Their time bombs waiting to go off.

  2. These fires will happen less and less because the Chinese Communist Government own most of planet Earth' s lithium and cobalt so prices will increase year after year and stock will dwindle year after year.
    Hey, i've just come up with an idea.
    15 minute cities.
    Doh !
    the World Economic Forum
    and
    the United Nations
    and
    the World Pharmaceuticals Organisation (formerly the WHO)
    have beaten me to it.

  3. All the studies I could find say that car fires are at least 20 more common in petrol(gas) cars than in EVs, when measured as fires per 10,000 cars.
    However, fires in EVs are harder to put out

  4. Oh it was a diesel car that started the fire😂😂😂 how's about that for climate change denial, if the world goes fully electric the climate will overheat from all of the car fires they'll be around!!!
