It would be interesting to know the cause of the fire. Yes, the batteries made the fire worse, but did they cause the fire or were they ignited by the fire?
Another thing to wonder about: Was the battery fire extinguished or did the batteries simply burn out? Would the results have been the same if the water was used only to contain the fire rather than extinguish it? Or, would that have risked explosion rather than a 42 minute burn? I don't know the answer and haven't found any discussion, I'm just curious.

IMO less cause there are less and EV are fairly new. IMO that number will go up as they age, just like ICE vehicles.
