Electric Supercar Fires and The Grand Tour

During a segment of "The Grand Tour," presenter Richard Hammond crashed a Bulgarian electric supercar, which subsequently burned for five days due to a "domino effect" in the battery cells. The incident highlights the difficulty of extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires compared to internal combustion engines. Jeremy Clarkson is also noted for making a controversial political analogy regarding the Iraq War during the episode.
