My ev has manually operated doors, because electrically operated door handles are stupid. Just one reason I have an EV made by a real car company.

The reason gas cars are easily extinguished when they catch fire is because gas cars have been a thing for over 100 years and every fire department in the country has the equipment to put out a gasoline fire. A battery fire is a metal fire, and not every department has the right equipment for that. But more and more departments do.
