No one was hurt. Not this time. What if people had been on that bus? How long did that fire burn. These electric fires burn for a notoriously long time.
I am not trying to make it cool to hate electric vehicles.
I am saying electric vehicles have too many problems at this time to replace all regular cars.
These problems need to be worked out before completely ditching combustion engines. I believe lots of different technology has been suppressed to keep oil companies in business.
If you watch Top Gear, they're always running out of electricity in very inconvenient places. They enter shops and ask to use their electricity. It takes forever to recharge. Your life will become on obsession revolving around charging your car. Electric cars are not there yet.
We have to find a better way, or fix the problems.

Electric vehicles with lithium ion batteries burn hotter, faster and require far more water to reach final extinguishment, Sutcliffe says. And the batteries can re-ignite hours or even days after the fire is initially controlled, leaving salvage yards, repair shops and others at risk. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/01/29/electric-vehicle-fires-are-rare-but-hard-to-fight-heres-why.html
Independent research and information for first responders produced by Tesla warn that: A battery fire in an electric vehicle can take 3,000 gallons of water and up to 24 hours to fully suppress. Firefighters should immediately arrange for water tenders and use a master stream if possible. Consider allowing the battery to burn while protecting exposures. Breathing apparatus is absolutely required. In some cases firefighters have run out of air and had to get a second bottle. https://wildfiretoday.com/2018/05/18/electric-vehicle-fires-can-take-3000-gallons-and-24-hours-to-extinguish/
