Analysis of the video of the initial car fire strongly suggests the fire
came from the EV battery located under the front passenger seat, while the
vehicle was being driven in the car park.

Apparently at least one country has initiated a recall of this type of
vehicle because of this issue.

"The recall notice says an electrical overload in the 48-volt battery
could cause the failure of a transistor, which in turn may lead to a short
in the system.

It would appear that the rate of EV fires is twice that of petrol or diesel
vehicles, with the fires being far more intense and which are impossible to
extinguish, the typical approach by fire services being to let the fire
burn itself out:

A previous megabattery fire in Australia occurred in 2021:

When a single fire can cause the destruction of a multi-storey car park and
most of the vehicles in it, it is time to segregate these vehicles from
normal ICE ones. Insurance rates are bound to increase substantially.

Expect the climate-change believers to boost mentions of the diesel aspect
of this incident, and ignore the EV aspects. The BBC followed this line
from the beginning, in its major network reporting.
