FORT MYERS, FLORIDA — The aftermath of Hurricane Ian has highlighted the dangers of electric cars. Florida Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis has issued a warning regarding the severe fire hazard posed by these vehicles in combination with salt water. “I joined North Collier Fire Rescue to assess response activities related to Hurricane Ian and saw with my own eyes an EV continuously ignite, and continually reignite, as fireteams doused the vehicle with tens-of-thousands of gallons of water,” Patronis told Florida Politics on Sunday.
