Yup, let's stake all our future transportation on that.

That's amazing.
Lighteninger, EVs can strike twice. Much like with crashing a couple of 737 Max aircraft, when an "accident" strikes twice - may have to pay some attention to this. -

Do you not own any?
Fires involving petroleum are almost completely unheard of, of course, and on the extremely rare occasions they do occur, are typically put out within minutes.

Prithee, when was the last time a car carrier burned and sunk due to carrying petrol powered vehicles?

Probably just after the last time a grown man used the word ‘prithee’

It happened again:
The crew of a cargo ship carrying 3,000 vehicles to Mexico, including 800 electric vehicles, abandoned ship after they could not control a fire aboard the vessel in waters off Alaska’s Aleutian island chain.
A large plume of smoke was initially seen at the ship’s stern coming from the deck loaded with electric vehicles Tuesday, according to U.S. Coast Guard photos and a Wednesday statement from the ship’s management company, London-based Zodiac Maritime.

A cargo ship that had been delivering new vehicles to Mexico sank in the North Pacific Ocean, weeks after crew members abandoned ship when they couldn't extinguish an onboard fire that left the carrier dead in the water.
The Morning Midas sank Monday in international water off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain, the ship's management company, London-based Zodiac Maritime, said in a statement.
"There is no visible pollution," said Petty Officer Cameron Snell, an Alaska-based U.S. Coast Guard spokesperson. "Right now we also have vessels on scene to respond to any pollution."
The Coast Guard said that the vessel reportedly had 350 metric tons of marine gas oil and 1,530 metric tons of very low sulfur fuel oil onboard.
