I think we'll find out. I believe reporters are interested whether an EV caused the fire, since EVs are still relatively novel and EV fire incidents are controversial, in the public's eye. Peri << Annoyed by leaf blowers ? https://quietcleanseattle.org/ >> -- Original Message -- From:

I think that this ship will likely burn and then sink to the bottom of the ocean. Thus, we will likely never know what actually caused the fire. Having said that, statistically, ICE cars catch fire _far_ more frequently than electric cars. Bill D. On 2/19/2022 3:23 PM, EV List Lackey via EV
