If an electric car is in an accident and the battery catches fire, my understanding is it is very difficult to get under control.

Something I am curious about is what will happen when we have hundreds of electric cars going through the Lincoln Tunnel? Will battery fires be better or worse than gas fires?



The numbers say EVs catch fire at a lower rate than ICE so presumably there would be fewer, although EV fires are more intense.
