    Does this have anything to worry consumers about in cold climates where cars could accumulate snow and road salt on them, and then say - park the car in the garage where it all melts into salt water?

    Did any other makes of electric vehicles also burst into flames in Florida?

      You’re not going to have frozen salt water on the underside of a car. That’s kind of what the salt is for. You will get salt water eating at the metal.
