A massive cargo ship burning off the coast of the Netherlands is igniting concerns over fire risks from electric vehicles.
The Dutch Coast Guard said on its blog that 23 crew members were evacuated, but one person died.
But the intensity of the fire seems to have diminished compared with yesterday," the Dutch Coast Guard said, per an AFP translation.
Just 25 or less than 1% of the 2,857 vehicles on board the Fremantle Highway were electric vehicles.
The Dutch Coast Guard did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
