Surprised they didn't use foam instead of water to extinguish the fire 🤷🏼‍

California, must have got wet.

Why would anyone attempt to put out an electrical fire with water? I'm not a firefighter, but every internet site I visited to read about this says "Don't use water to put out an EV fire"...

I wonder how much water they used to put out a kitchen grease fire? (Don't try this at home!)

This battery garbage is just not it. If we want full electrification then hear me out: double wire overhead power on every road and every vehicle with a pantograph. Small battery bank for alleys and garage driving. No? That way we can upgrade the grid to actually handle electrification at the same time.
