EV fire in an underground parking garage or home garage is a scary thought.

  Is it more scary than an ICE car fire? A fuel tank of most ICE cars carries more energy than even the largest EV batteries - and many underground garages and homes have been burnt down to a crisp from a regular car fire, once it gets going it really doesn't matter what type of car it is. In fact one of the largest car insurance claims in history is from a Ford truck that caught fire on a ferry in transit, burning down all of its (very expensive) cargo. https://www.jalopnik.com/how-one-suv-fire-destroyed-45-million-in-cars-damaged-1826086012/ https://www.jalopnik.com/how-one-suv-fire-destroyed-45-milli...

    an EV fire burns hotter and this does more structural damage.

      Interesting - do you have any materials about it that I could read up on?
