Breaking News: Eviation Alice prototype has been damaged by fire.
An electric system fire significantly damaged a prototype of Israeli company Eviation Aircraft’s in-development, all-electric Alice aircraft at an Arizona airport on 22 January.
The Prescott Regional airport confirms the nine-passenger Alice prototype was damaged by a fire that started at about 18:30 local time.
Though the extent of the damage remains unknown, video of the fire posted online by local media outlet Prescott eNews suggests the prototype suffered extensively.
The video shows firefighters dousing the smoking prototype with water or fire extinguishing agent.

The electric aircraft aspect wouldn't concern me as much as the lithium batteries though provided they are not opened per se it should be fine.
