Jaguar EV catches fire while charging…
Jaguar I-Pace Car Catches on Fire While Charging
Full story with photos here…
Another EV fire… this one from Florida earlier this summer. A Jaguar i-pace was parked in an attached garage when the owner heard "popping" sounds and saw smoke puffing from the car. The car was moved outside before it burst into flames. I guess you can call them "lucky". pic.twitter.com/JUOwthCSb4

Eventually EVs are likely to be BANNED from parking garages.

Lithium batteries are like trick birthday candles. You put them out but they burst back into flame. When the battery is damaged or the controlling chip fails they suffer run away heat buildup and catch fire. It takes 800 gallons of water to put out a gasoline car fire but 24,000 gallons to put out a lithium batter car fire because they keep bursting into flame.
24k gallons is a decent size swimming pool. That accurate?
Wow, those EV’s are definitely going to save the planet — if they don’t use up all the water first.
And the water used to put out the fire has to be cleaned up, because it is considered hazardous!
These FACTS are never publicized, why?
Eventually the guidance for charging EVs will be – don’t charge them inside and never charge them unattended.
Owning a horse would be less work.
Not in a garage because when they catch fire you will to be able to put the fire out.
Is that how they’re saving the Planet?
Ha, good one/.
Off topic – last week I was sitting in my front room when a Makita battery charger exploded on my front porch – I had a battery charging as I was working outside – there were 6 individual cells and each one ignited and exploded. Had I not been home, my house would have burned to the ground.
That’s going to leave a mark!
Not much to recycle there
First off, buy American. Second, buy gasoline powered. Simple.
And the recalled 1-2 million Ford Pintos because 38 caught on fire?
If you buy and electric car you should get a automatic fire insurance policy with it in case it burns your house down.
I would check with my insurance company before I would even consider buying one of these experiments, and that is what they are, an experiment!
Children’s PowerWheels have charging warnings. This full scale toy car must also have them.
Woah.
Three things:
1). The home owner is very lucky he was home and heard the sound so his house did not become a raging inferno.
2) He is also lucky it did not burst into flames while he was moving it out of the garage.
3) This is only one of many reasons why I am not interested in owning or riding in one of these things.
Yeah, but just think of all the money he saved on gasoline!
Damn and it just came off its warranty
The car co came and took that remaining front bit back?! Heck I coulda swept the whole thing into a dustpan. What did the co want that front chunk for?
The millions of EV batteries sitting in landfills will poison the water supply….but, don’t let the Left know that, they are hell-bent to get rich off “green energy”…lol
Now we have a Eco Harvard cleanup. This new climate inflation bs bill is another theft from the American people. We are paying trillions to countries that STRIP MINE AND USE CHILD LABOR CONGO, BOLIVA, CHINA, Leave a massive Ecological disaster in the process to mine for nickel, lithium, etc, then use oil, natural gas, coal to fuel the electricity. That ends up being as costly and more eco-hazardous. Finally, it makes our enemies more powerful and US WEAK. ALL FOR POWER ELITE GROUPS NOT US. AND SINEMA AND MANCHIN SIGNED ON.
Guess that “Jaguar” name isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Jag has not been any good for a long long time…
My dad, a mechanic, always said do not buy a car from a Country that is unable to build a TV! Now look where this a country is!
It’s a hot car
They scream : Go electric and save the environment….what…..
Your all electric is showing itself not worth having. There is more reasons not to own a electric car than to having one one. Start reporting these things that happen more instead of hiding them from the public. Let them see the real truth about electric cars.
It was no charging but had just finished a short journey. Stupid to get in a smoked filled car and drive it . But having an EV says it all
Perhaps. But it was in the garage. It was climb in and move it or the house was gone too. Life is with more than both, though.
Lithium battery? Blowing up just like the phones a couple of years ago, I don’t know a lot about these EVs because I will never own one, just like experimental vaccines, the public is always the guinea pigs.
Geez, seems to be a foreshadowing of the new utopia.
You will own nothing and be happy.

That’ll buff out.
😅
So environmentally friendly
🤣 and to think those 18 thousand dollar batteries expire.
Stupid enough to buy an electric car? Here’s your reward.
That’ll buff out…
Just as the warranty was up.
It will rub out
Black lives matter
Jaguar I-pace for sale. Super hot deal! This is one smokin car.
