Well I have always said that the worries about open pen count for nothing in comparison to the risk of fire from electric vehicles. I was referring to the charging side of things but the intensity and stubbornness of these vehicle fires is a particular concern.

The London Fire Brigades approach to putting out an EV fire is to do absolutely nothing.

From Jon's link....

"Electric vehicle fires are known to reignite hours, days or even weeks after the initial event, and they can do so many times.

Not only does this pose a safety issue, but it also poses a legal issue: recovery firms are increasingly concerned about dealing with electric vehicles."
