because the fire was caused by a detached electric vehicle battery

  Yeah, and the cause of the first seems to be related to that (you don't just remove your car's battery and leave it laying around like that) not to the brand of the vehicle... by mentioning the brand, the news site may become liable to legal action as it may be implied they were trying to blame the fire on the manufacturer.

"I don't know the brand of the vehicle, but I'm pretty sure the manufacturers will have an interest in this," he said. he doesnt know but then which manufacturer will be interested to know more … seems like brand protection

  Any manufacturer would be interested. I think you're reading too much into the quote.

The vehicle in the video in the linked article appears to be a MG ZS EV. The wheels are distinctive.

  Aren’t those lfp?

    Yes, they are CATL's LFP. Now, I really wish that people would stop saying that LFP can be charge to 100% (without adversely affecting lifespan), or never catch fire. China's LFPs are cheap, inferior batteries. Period. Stop pretending that LFP would last forever or more moral and humane b/c there is no cobalt (China doesn't believe in human rights, either).

      Do you have any data to prove otherwise? Anecdotal data from Tesla drivers is extremely good (1-5% degradation over 20k miles vs typical 10%)

        Tesla LFP Battery 10% RANGE LOSS PROBLEM? | Model 3 RWD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suw20wPrbL0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suw20wPrbL0 The brand new LFP batteries will degrade substantially quicker. There's not long-term retention data for LFP batteries on the market yet, but the trend tends to be substantially faster degradation. Trends show them stabilizing around that 10% degradation mark in about half the time as non-LFP batteries - around 50,000 miles instead of 100,000 miles." There is also a study by Recurrent, "battery life study" which seems to corroborate Tessie's finding. I'm pretty sure that anecdotal data would almost always indicate virtually no range loss, but, once you take the red pill, the reality looks quite different.
