The charge is certainly warranted, and I'm sure that if the person had not been drunk better judgment would have prevailed.

You can't go around lighting fires on or near vehicles. It's a hazard even for electric vehicles, which have batteries that can catch fire under certain circumstances.

Think of the "reckless" like the reckless in reckless driving.
