    Great, this surely will help reinforce the opinion that EVs are safe. /s

    Before down votes start let me explain, a lot of Poles are scared of EVs catching fire and it doesn’t help that some people purposefully commit arson. And now BYD is entering the market with its legitimate share of incidents.

      Isn’t BYD particularly safe because of their plank-like batteries that can be pierced or crushed without exploding? Wasn’t BYD in talks with Tesla a couple of years ago because the plank system is safer than the ‘big battery box’ system and Tesla wanted to use BYD’s technology (I don’t know what came of those talks)?
