No particular info on the car, but I think I made the right decision when I did not get the lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids.
Back in my career, lithium batteries were forbidden on USN submarines.
Imagine if that was a full sized automobile…
Fire in electric cars are miserable and dangerous to put out.

I don’t know what mine are but I recharge them every night. Then I got one of those new fangled battery boosters and put it in my trunk. What are ya gonna do though. Those batteries are everywhere I think.
Look at the number of incidents and fatalities involving lithium batteries and aircraft. If this were widely publicized many might choose to take the bus or hitchhike.

So do they have those “containment bags” readily available on a flight? Makes me feel a little better if they do. I’m not going anywhere anytime soon though, except by car.
They’re part of the firefighting kit. It’s basically an aluminized fabric bag with a way to fold over the opening and smother a fire. Glad to know their use is SOP.
