I used to live in Norfolk, VA 700 feet from the ocean. A low lying street near us flooded during one hurricane and a picture of a car near an apartment building burning merrily away made the news. Not an electric vehicle, just a plain old lead-acid battery gas burner. So, if you don't think flooding salt water bridging the terminals of your regular battery can't start a fire, guess again.
