I do NOT know about that specific situation. But, logically, we know that gasoline is a very inflammable liquid that can explode in some situations. That has NOT changed since 1900 - the beginnings of ICE cars and trucks. Electric vehicles are in their infancy - their developmental INFANCY. Same way with their batteries. They will be improved greatly until they never catch on fire. Gasoline engines STILL catch on fire EVEN after 125 years of safety development. That's why Electric Vehicles are superior to gas.
......Plus advantages of lower center of gravity, fewer moving parts, no pistons, greater acceleration, and ultimately (after a few years) much better safety and lower maintenance.
