a fire extinguisher is obligatory by law. I think they should cancel this law
So do I.

In particular in electric vehicles. To have an adequate fire extinguisher you need a 5x3 meter water tank for them to extinguish the fire.

Imagine all the BEVs driving around with a 3x5 meter trailer ... 🙃

In some countries, well at least in my country, a fire extinguisher is obligatory by law. I think they should cancel this law for four reasons:
  1. cars are much safer than in the past concerning possible fires (I don't pretend it never happens).
  2. most people never check the sticker with the validity date.
  3. the quantity of powder is so small, that it is often empty before the fire is extinguished
  4. most people don't know how to use it
I can tell you from a firefighters perspective how useful dry chemical extinguishers are in combating electrical fires in vehicles- not particularly. You are better off disconnecting the battery first then use foam or water. We never use dry chem on vehicle fires.
