> Try now to imagine an electrically driven vehicle catching fire during Christmas shopping season in mid-December in midtown Manhattan in front of Macy’s department store during rush hour at six o’clock in the evening.

Why would I imagine that? This kind of thing happens from time to time with gas cars. Example (picked lazily and randomly): https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/video/car-erupts-in-flames-n...

In some respects, Lithium Ion fires are harder to manage, but they also seem to happen less frequently.

Maybe don't jump to conclusions based upon ~10 fires in vehicles flooded by saltwater?
