[MorTech]

I suspect it was a DIY lithium setup. The EZGO Elite lithium charges a about 0.15C which makes a thermal runaway event near zero likelihood. EZGO has sold over 150,000 Lithium carts. The EV will never replace hydrocarbon propulsion cuz, um, Physics. EV makes sense in products up to about some passenger cars and some delivery vans but does not make sense otherwise. You can not beat a hydrocarbon for motive energy density...And you are not carrying a 100kw bomb underneath you that produces its own oxygen as it burns. EVs can be mobile crematoriums so be careful.

Factoid: If you try to extinguish a lithium battery fire with CO2 smothering, you will just be feeding the flame with oxygen because the energy of the lithium fire is so high that it will break the carbon/oxygen bond. The only way to put it out is douse it with lots of water until it cools to a stop.
