An EV ???

The charging stations in Washington DC are in subterranean parking garages several levels down. Probably impossible to extinguish.

I have read of some airports prohibiting certain EVs from their garages, but they really should consider banning all of them...before something really bad happens.

It’s not a plane attack. It could be a small “lone wolf” muzzie attack, like running over pedestrians on the sidewalk.

I honestly can’t think of a time when a gasoline powered car spontaneously burst into flames while sitting unattended. I’ve never seen one reported. The only cars I’ve seen burning were running or someone was trying to get one running.
As Fire Fighter for 35 years seen it happen numerous times
Short in electrical wiring - with all the electrical gadgets, heated seats, electric seat adjustment, electric mirror, etc
Leak in fuel lines dripping gas on hot engine
Numerous reasons cars catch fire

The fire didn’t start in the wiring harness of an old Fiat, I bet.

Short in electrical wiring - with all the electrical gadgets, heated seats, electric seat adjustment, electric mirror, etc The number of times that happens with the car parked and ignition switched off is vanishingly small.

And that would happen with a vehicle sitting overnight in a car park how?
I don't believe you were a firefighter or you wouldn't make such dumb comments.

Yikes! This (maybe) EV generated fire really spread and created even more damage. Luton Airport car park collapses:
Thanks for the update!

Taking bets… 1. Islamists 2. EV
EV. If this were terrorism they would have started the fire at ground level one so it would spread upward.

I’ll second what njslim said. Went to a bunch of them over the years. Most fun is a full fuel tank that warms up in a garage causing the fuel to expand and overflow. Then the pilot light on the water lights the whole mess off.
