The press release you linked to is about cars catching fire after they crash.
Can you give a source for how many cars catch fire spontaneously when they're stationary and charging?
- olivermarks 4y agoI don't have a source of data but this article might be useful if you've watched the NTSB video and other material https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/08/04/tesla-fire/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2021/08/04/tesla-f... 'Battery-powered vehicles have not been shown to catch fire at rates higher than gasoline cars, but when fires do erupt, they burn longer and hotter, propelled by lithium-ion batteries that supercharge the blazes, experts say.'
