Original Note:
False, the fire service has stated it was a diesel vehicle https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/what-car-started-the-luton-airport-fire-b2428299.html The vehicle in question is a Range Rover from the video shared. There are other reports of them exploding. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/mums-range-rover-velar-explodes-22943015 Also electric vehicles are far less likely to suffer a fire, by at least 20 times. https://thedriven.io/2023/05/16/petrol-and-diesel-cars-20-times-more-likely-to-catch-fire-than-evs/
