They cover that in the article. 1/10 the fires of an ice car. And zero reported deaths do to fire. But yeah it can look crazy.
Since I started driving truck, I've seen every Manor over burning things on the side of the road. I've seen two Prius fires and believe me, the firemen just watched it burn.

I know the batteries are getting better, but damn.

Frieghtliner has a big rig hybrid that uses a huge battery, they offered it to me, has a crazy amount of torque for climbing hills loaded, but because of the weight of the batteries, you can't haul as much.

They're coming out with fully electric next year's models
