Lithium battery fires are not a new thing. The RC industry has know about them for a long time as they use those batteries in their cars, planes, helicopters and drones. I read about people’s houses being burned down due to a fire that started when charging their batteries. The tech is better now but there is still a big risk when charging and if there is a short in the wiring. Vibration would be the main cause of a short in a car, bigger risk the older the car is.

No one said they are a new thing.
