Look before you jump!
"The coastguard said the cause of the fire was unknown, but an emergency call between rescue services later emerged suggesting it had "started in the battery of an electric car"."

"This ship, christened the Fremantle Highway, was first reported aflame off the Dutch coast a couple of days ago. Initial information hinted there were at least 25 EVs on its manifest and that the conflagration likely began at or near one of those cars. Now, reports are surfacing that there could be nearly five hundred electric cars in the ship’s hold, a realization that adds a lot more gravitas to a situation that has already claimed the life of one person and injured scores of others."
Happy I got my diesel Cayenne from this ship before the EV's started travelling on her!
