I remain an EV skeptic because of the flammable electrolyte in Li batteries. They did a good job of protecting the battery pack and managing possible thermal runaway. But reading some EV crash news, I noticed one aspect of EV fire is particularly frightening: the speed of the fire and thoroughness of the fire burning. If the crash is severe enough to cause fire, it's usually within 1 or 2 minutes before the fire reaches the driver seat and then it'll burn it down to skeleton and the firefighters can only stand by and wait for it to burn out.
