They will just solve this the same way as anything else. Propaganda. This video is misinformation. It has been proved that electric vehicles are both safe and effective. The science is settled.
Lithium fires are solid metal fires, there really isn't a way to put them out. You can remove the heat, but that is really hard to do in field conditions. The Navy teaches about flammable metal fires as part of damage control, and the usual recommendation is to jettison overboard.
This sort of thing is why frantic research is underway to find alternative alloys to use with lithium that are not so dangerous in a thermal runaway situation.
It's not going to go away. Fire departments across the world should have been developing new techniques to deal with battery and other electrical fires for decades.
I thought I heard that water is a terrible way to put out lithium fires; in fact, like cesium, it's more volatile in water ...
You need a special foam to put out lithium fires, just as with electrical and chemical fires.
(Maybe I should go ask the smartest people in the universe about that. Oh, wait, they blowed up real good. 😹 .... Gee, maybe humans will be next. If you believe that the irish elk went extinct because of its own antlers, well, humans fuck themselves with their own tech all the time. And boy, does it wear well on 'em.)
Not to worry. The end goal of forcing people to replace traditional cars with EVs is not so that everyone will have EVs: the point is that almost one one will be able to afford a car at all.

DING! Social Credit score increased by 100.

Mongo impressed.

They're just going to become more common as electric cars and solar panels with lithium battery banks become more and more common.

And you're down to one fuel option they can jack the price up on AND regulate and ration at will. The end goal is to make us as immobile as possible.

Elon has truly created a weapon to surpass metal gear.
