Could I have the summary, rather than being forced to watch a Youtube video?

Basically if owns and electric vehicle, don't allow salt water to get inside to the battery, or your car will repeatedly catch fire and cause the responding fireman to have a bad day of it.

This means if a hurricane is coming and there might be storm surge, you need to drive it far inland. Also, if you take your car to the beach, make sure you pay attention too when high tide is and keep your car away from the waterline.

That's the summary and now you don't have to listen to ten minutes of Scotty Kilmer's annoying voice as he lectures you about cars while making sure you know that he, Scotty, knows everything there is to know about cars...and more.

The NHSTA (National Highway Safety Administration) study they reference stated that any electric car subjected to water damage should be kept 50 feet away from anything that can catch fire, such as houses and other cars.

Probably should have said “people” too.

They talked about how the damaged batteries can spontaneously combust, and even after “extinguished” can keep spontaneously re-combusting. They had a Fire Chief talking about one that kept re-combusting, and re-combusted even as it was being towed away.
