Many thanks for the links and resources.

StacheD also has continual coverage of battery fires, for examples:

Below is one of the best informational videos I have viewed on the horrendous dangers of lithium batteries. The demonstration of the resultant fire from battery damage at 10.55 and the demonstration of the vapor cloud formation at 15:00 are amazing...you will never hear or see the battery advocate crowd highlight these dangers.

Thanks. Even though the risk is statistically low, any such risk at all is enough to keep me away from EVs. I watched and then posted that last URL on my notes. I do have an electric bike, but keep the battery stored in a concrete and metal shop well away from my house and any combustibles. I also have a small off grid solar setup with the lithium battery isolated from everything else.
