Personal knowledge, reported fact, or just more speculation?

And, is there any evidence an EV was responsible for the fire? Another thread had statistics showing ICE cars were responsible foe 100 times as many fires as EVs.

I went to an NFL game years ago and a bunch of cars caught fire during the game. It could have been a lithium battery. But it was more likely the charcoal grill that the tailgater put in the back of his SUV so they could get in and see the kickoff.

Probably a lot more than 100 times ICE vs pure EVs on the road.

Would like to see a breakdown on the cause of the fires. ICE fires are probably mainly due to accidents/collisions. EVs probably lead in "spontaneous combustions" type fires. For instance, weren't Chevy Bolt owners instructed not to park them in a garage?

Personally I dislike “haters”. No matter the topic they tend to overlook or dispute facts and simply spew their potentially baseless views. Not simply false views, but ones that completely overlook the true facts.

Of course this applies to the current Middle East situation but also EVs. A bit of research on this particular fire shows the Range Rover engulfed in flames which started the entire parking garage fire. A cell video shows it completely. Copied below. And fact that Range/Land Rover vehicles (which are non-EV) have these combustible histories.

But what do the Haters do and state? Yep…. Jump on their deep-seated biases…. And still not accept proven facts.

Humans are fallible. But when their biases cloud truth and facts….

Am I correct ?

Hybrids do not charge at a plug-in station, only from the ICE engine when driven ?

Or is it some do, some don't ?

I just learned my cell phone has a lithium battery in it.

Guess I'll have to switch to gas or diesel powered cell phone.

You should know better than to go out and find facts and truths. Now this discussion can not go one for 100 pages.
