>> I wonder how many gas-fueled car fires have there been in the last two months... just asking. Contrary to popular belief (and maybe common sense), gas-fueled cars rarely catch fire because of the gas in the tank. You'd need a gas leak and some form of external ignition, which rarely occur together. Apparenly with a battery-powered car, all you need is piercing damage to the battery.
