Watched an episode of Grand Tour in which Richard Hammond crashed a new electric supercar. Burst into flames.
Afterwards they said that the fire re-started itself 4 times over the coming days and kept having to be put out.
Each time it was because a new battery cell got damaged/failed and restarted the fire.
There is A LOT of energy in a lithium battery.
Have a look at some of the videos of phone battery testing that goes on. Scary.
