A Li-ion battery pack holds just a fraction of the energy that’s contained in a tank of gasoline.

I've had two car fires. One was in a 1973 Dodge Dart (Desireé) due to a bad oil pump. The small fire in the engine area died out, because the tank itself did not catch fire. The engine was replaced and we got a couple more years out of the Dart until she dies of rusty torsion bar holders.

The 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis just kept on burning, and yes, the conflagration was MUCH largesr than the picture. If it weren't my car, I would have gotten a big kick out of the cabin's cloth interior burnig, and then the big WHOOSH when the side windows shattered, letting in all that nice oxygen all at once. Unfortunately, I had installed a loaner car stereo in the car to test some mp3 audiobooks. My 2 year old daughter lamented the loss of her Caillou CD which I forgot to remove from the car as the smoke was billowing into the cabin. Good times.

1971 Pontiac Ventura. The floor board rotted out on the front passenger side. The rubber floor mat dropped down through the hole and touched the hot exhaust manifold, catching fire as I drove down I-79.

Obviously I lived to tell the tale.
