@cianhan thanks for posting this, Mr. Hanrahan. I saw the misreported headline on BBC News, which I generally consider trustworthy.

Regardless, though, it seems like it might be necessary to consider new technologies for the transport of ANY large lithium batteries in large numbers, including fire suppressants other than water, which we already know isn’t really effective with these batteries. Even if an EV battery didn’t start the fire.
