If it were to be engulfed in flames, it would become a disaster that is very difficult to handle.

In addition, one of the components in electric car batteries is metal oxide, which tends to release oxygen gas when heated.

That oxygen enables the combustion reaction. The liquid and gas can ignite, producing more heat and gas.

This is why burning electric cars are very difficult to extinguish. Although batteries have far less energy than gasoline, they produce their own oxygen when they burn.
