Electric vehicles are less likely to catch fire, but when they do, they are more difficult to contain.

    Are you under the impression that this is the first time a vehicle has exploded? You’re ignoring the statistics that someone already provided you showing that these cars are involved in far fewer fires than others per capita. Your worldview seems backed and shaped by FUD in the media and straight up fictional movies.

      Are you under the impression that this is the only case I’ve been talking about? I’ve brought up three separate cases in this thread so far, two of them locking the victims into the car while it exploded and 100% of the people inside the car dies.

      Other car manufacturers have WORKING DOORS, beyond just electronic locks that immediately stop working in the case of battery fire.

      There is a repeated problem here, and the EV community turning a blind eye to it is distasteful.
