In short, it starts with a description of a RTA in the US involving a Tesla Model X, and the complications that resulted (e.g. battery fire reigniting a week later), then goes on to discuss some of the challenges that EVs raise for first responders. It's an interesting read from a number of perspectives - not least of which is that one of us may find ourselves in the vicinity of an accident involving an EV.
