Cost of Driving an EV

Yes. It is. So maybe firefighters need to be trained how to deal with battery fires. And have the equipment to contain it.
They already are, & newer HEV/EV's have an emergency disconnect loop underhood they are able to cut to disable the high voltage system. That's IF They can get to it safely, IF the vehicle isn't damaged to the point of rendering that inoperative, IF it isn't submerged.....etc......etc...
