WATCH: EV Car In China EXPLODES When Charging

Footage out of China has captured the moment an electric vehicle exploded while at a charging station with the incident said to have take place sometime in August.

Local reports suggest that the owner of the red EV parked the car in Sanming, southern China, and connected it to a charging station. It is hard to say with certainty what model it is, but as reported by Drive, it does share a resemblance to the BAIC EX360. It’s also possible it was a plug-in hybrid model from BAIC.

Gee, did the firehouse stream of water aimed at the back of the car before it exploded have anything to do with the explosion of an electric car?

The latest Tesla battery is in 700,000+ cars and there have been 3 fires, all from major accidents.

At least nobody got hurt. Maybe when China is brought back into line by the Allies blowing up the bases it has built in the South China sea, it will be able to focus on what really counts and start making better cars.

This: "...using water on an electric vehicle fire is a better solution than foam or other dry chemicals..." is dead wrong.
