Are EVs a fire danger?
Recent fire in UK airport parking lot highlights thermal runaway fire potential of EVs.

On October 11, 2023, around 9:00 PM local time, Luton Airport's new parking garage experienced a fire. The blaze rapidly moved through the facility, leading to a partial structural collapse. Consequently, the airport halted all flight operations until at least 3:00 PM the following day, with firefighters actively combating the fire.
