[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 655954, member: 4386"] While I have a few reservations myself, I do feel that the media finds burning EV car photos sell. The issue here is not so much for the owner - their car is stuffed, same as in a bushfire etc, - it is the safety of subsequent handling of the wreck that is important. I imagine that will be improved with time (tow truck system to drop battery out underneath)? I still feel the real issue for a driver is the probability of their EV burning compared with their hydrocarbon car. And the probability of it occurring in their garage. They are claiming it is less likely with an EV but they are still glossing over other issues at this stage, so I will waitb and see. [/QUOTE]
