The world's first *VBIED* based on an electric vehicle (E-VBIED?) was recently detonated by a bunch of Finns. "Pommijätkät" fitted a 2013 Tesla Model S (faulty battery) with 30kg of dynamite and set it off. https://t.co/5ncZ4qAwLH pic.twitter.com/IrVYxQXhvr

This Tweet appears to be a bit of tongue in cheek but I wonder.

First Responders all over the US are getting classes on dealing with electric vehicle fires, being warned of the dangers and been coached up on dealing with the fact that traditional fire fighting tools are rendered useless when dealing with burning lithium.

What happens when terrorist glob onto the fact that if they can get those batteries to burn that it will be very difficult to put them out.

What happens when they start collecting a ton or so of these batteries and drive them into a fuel depo?

I'm not even thinking about what happens to our troops if they're in a vehicle with floor lined batteries that catch fire.

The rush to electric vehicles has seemingly unseen hazards for the force that are being ignored.
