A new crash recently in Alabama, but a reminder to something that we all know. Burning Teslas are far more difficult to extinguish than any other car.

Well, I don't have an EV and I'm not a firefighter, so EV battery fires aren't on my radar. If I had an EV and it caught fire I'm not going to try and put it out. The biggest batteries in my life these days are less than 2kWh, so I'm going to use the class B fire extinguishers I bought after I've already called the fire department.
