*A recalled Ford SUV was responsible for a $100 million fire aboard a transport ship in 2015, according to the National Transportation Safety Board. The Vehicle Carrier Courage was transporting vehicles including those belonging to U.S. military families returning from Europe, when a fire broke out below decks, destroying $90 million in cargo and causing $10 million damage to the ship.”

Wasn’t filled with high 3nd EVs. It was mostly gas cars.

New York has a fleet of ferries carrying people and cars between Staten Island and Manhatten. They are big, each carrying 4,000 commuters and maybe 30 cars.

Now imagine a car catching fire in the middle of the river.
