Another consideration is what happens when an EV has either a catastrophic failure or high impact collision with another vehicle? The clean up requires the presence of a capable HazMat Crew due to the large abundance of Hazardous Materials that make up the battery packs.

Anyone ever look at an asphalt road after an EV fire? I've seen one such area after an EV fire, and I suspect the road would need some sort of repair or earlier maintenance.

With those temperatures and the fact that those fires are very hard to extinguish, that would come as no surprise.
