I don't think anyone is arguing that our electricity infrastructure doesn't need a massive upgrade to cope with future needs, that's why DNOs and the NGC are pumping millions into doing it They came round our way replacing all the single mains lines with triples a year or so back and walked everyone's power limit up from 60 to 100A. Generation capacity is also being increased as fast as possible, witness the latest encouragement to develop small scale nuclear sites.

It's a similar story with EV fires. Nobody is trying to pretend they are not extremely difficult to deal with and that different techniques will need to be developed to handle them successfully, but the way the fossil fuel lobby is talking you'd think that nobody is doing anything about it and that any EV is a bomb waiting to off, whereas the truth is they are 20 times safer than ICE cars when it comes to fire risk.
