From Granite Grok - More Energy Transition Emissions
Rivian is an electric truck manufacturer. A bunch of their inventory caught fire.
EV Truck maker Rivian offers another cautionary tale. A bunch of units sitting on the lot outside their manufacturing facility demonstrate the thermal runaway potential of Lithium vehicle packs. Rivian was already struggling, so feel free to wonder whether this is an itty-bitty insurance fire.
This took place in Normal, Illinois, which is 115 miles southwest of Chicago, or about 130 miles from Chicago by car.
Never attribute to malice what can be explained by other means. Lithium ion batteries catch fire, and when they do, they are hard to extinguish. They also produce extraordinarily toxic fumes.
You can find video of the fire at this X post.
