Yup it can happen. Anyone remember the FORD Probe campfire option? The Pinto? 4rth of July option?

I remember watching a documentary of hydrogen containment systems and the remark of an engineer that if Gasoline, or Petrol was invented today there is no way that it would ever be allowed to be used and stored as it is allowed because of familiarity. It is a very dangerous substance that everyone believes is perfectly safe.

I see mant more of these fires happening and we are eventually going to wish for our safe old gasoline cars back again. The polution generated in this video is probably as much as a normal car generates in a year.

First mistake was storing the EV in the garage.

I vaguely recall seeing that a warning was issued prior to an expected flood that EV owners park their cars away from their house/garage for this reason. I don't have an EV, so didn't pay attention. It could have been a local thing, rather than from a manufacturer.
