In this area, there's an interesting YT channel of a fireman and EV battery mechanical engineer: https://www.youtube.com/@stachedtraining

Seeing the smoke in the video and all I can hear is the Will it Blend host saying “don’t breathe that”

Battery fires are harder to put out because batteries have their own oxidizer

Wouldn't be a problem with the superior technology of the Toyota Prius

Most EVs don't burn anymore. Only luxury/long range/high performance ones.

Something like 80% come with LFP batteries that basically smolder at most.
