tesla fires sound alarms about electric-car battery safety - home battery system

Electric cars may be less likely to catch fire than fuel-consuming cars, but Tesla has also had a fire recently. and NIO Inc.
Cars in greater China have prompted the auto industry to take steps to ease concerns among potential customers.
There are reports that a fire involving Tesla in the parking lot in Hong Kong has raised concerns.
