But all the Teslas are in California, where there's no water!
The Hill (8/17/21) reports: "Firefighters needed 40 times the amount of water normally used to contain a fire of a gas-powered vehicle when attempting to extinguish a blaze when a Tesla crashed. 'Normally a car fire you can put out with 500 to 1,000 gallons of water,' Austin Fire Department Division Chief Thayer Smith said, according The Independent. 'But Teslas may take up to 30,000-40,000 gallons of water, maybe even more, to extinguish the battery pack once it starts burning and that was the case here.' Video footage obtained by Fox 7 shows a driver of the electric vehicle slamming into gas tanks at a station in Tarrytown. Authorities said the lithium battery cells powering the Tesla Model X can cause fires long after a crash — a situation Division Chief Eddie Martinez told Fox 7 the department was prepared to address.

"The Biden EV plan, encapsulated in the $3.2 trillion appropriation the green left insists accompany the $1.1 trillion “infrastructure” bill, would push the U.S. out of reality into a pie-in-the-sky scheme. The race is already being lost to construct a green grid. Forcing tens of millions of EVs into that mix is only going to make blackouts and mileage restrictions routine."
