Finally! An automobile fire that actually involved a lithium battery!

This fire was a Tesla car and not a electric delivery truck. But yes, electric vehicles can catch on fire and the fires are hard to extinguish. Fortunately, there are far fewer EV fires than there are ICE (gas/diesel) fires.

(Interestingly, the rate of hybrid fires is quite high. I still haven't found an explanation for why.)
