but that goes to Roy’s point about it being a bigger problem than Tesla. Fire Dept’s, & population in general, will have to have better access to means of extinguishment of Li battery fires. The reaction betw the active battery material & water is not much unlike adding water to burning magnesium. Just makes a bigger fire. Spraying water around an Li fire is a fine thing to do but putting water on an Li fire won’t accomplish much.
