I think the opposite is true. We've had 120 years of fires from ICE vehicles and generally don't think twice about them. Did you know over 3,000 ICE Hyundai & Kias have spontaneously caught fire over the last ~decade (even when parked)? In the last year, tanker truck fires have destroyed bridges in Vermont, Connecticut, & Philadelphia.
The issue with battery fires is that we're using the equivalent of buckey brigades to fight them. We learned to do better than throw water on gas fires and we'll learn better ways to fight battery fires.
I would say it’s an issue with available materials that can and will kaboom when they want. There’s a reason fire safety standards are. But your not going to get the . Gov (especially a municipality)to adapt to demand of what they need to do to adequately fight these potentially dangerous and noxious emissions. That dangers all involved and even the tow truck driver that just takes the a car to a yard. It’s the new NIMBY.
