This post exaggerates the fire risk of an electric vehicle. While it is possible for an Electric Vehicle to have an engine fire, the rate is estimated to be 25 in 100,000 (https://www.autoinsuranceez.com/gas-vs-electric-car-fires/). This is significantly less than a gas vehicle at 1530 in 100,000 and hybrid cars at 3475 in 100,000.

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1707268147236016201
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
