Out-of-control EV blaze (thermal runaway) threatens to sink massive RORO ship.

My guess is they're dunking all of the cars because even a slightly fire damaged new car is an economic write off and doing that limits the chance of later fires.

What useful info? That tubs of water are used for EV fires? That should be common knowledge for anyone interested in the issue of fire safety.
--- Quote ---As for the commentary, it's surely better than most in that no-one could ever mistake him for being an expert. Any sensible viewer would turn the sound (and captions) off or just ignore it.

I think you are overrating the public. He is putting together a video, with lots of negative commentary about EVs. I'm sure many people think he is stating facts.

Guess at what???
--- Quote ---You know, that's how some things are discovered or invented or figured out, by proposing an idea and having it taken apart. Even if the real purpose doesn't crop up (and, frankly, we likely will never know unless someone involved does an AMA on redit), the idea(s) might find a use in different circumstances.

My educated guess is that there were cars on the ferry, including ICE and EVs. Some of them caught on fire.
Anything else is not an educated guess, as I've said before. Guessing is not educated. An "educated guess" is just a way of saying BS.

At least one EV has caught fire after or while it was unloaded, according to a short report i read in the newspaper this morning.
The article did not mention the state of the vehicle or the size of the fire, only that it was quickly extinguished.
Might that be the one they dunked in the video?

Why would anyone want to listen to his drivel?
