It has happened again: An electric car was on fire. This time it was a Tesla Cybertruck outside a hotel owned by future US President Donald Trump in Las Vegas. Once again, the question arises as to what fire hazard batteries really pose. We provide answers.

On Wednesday morning (local time), the Tesla Cybertruck exploded in front of a hotel owned by future US President Donald Trump. The car and its battery went up in flames.
