If you’d bothered to watch the video, you’d have noted that all the incidents in question involved batteries (4) or vehicles (1) being hauled in closed trailers, and that it was specifically about the issue of first responders being called to random trailer fires and having sub-optimal information that Li-ion batteries are involved.
Also, Li-ion battery fires are often harder to put out than liquid fuel fires, take more resources to manage, and have a vastly higher chance of reignition.
I’m very interested in electric vehicles and would love to own one (F150 Lightning house on wheels), but attempting to sugarcoat these facts will get people killed.
