Another cargo ship has apparently been set on fire by an electric car in its hold. Don't you want one in your garage?
Yeah, me either. I am guessing that what's at hand here is salt air and fully charged Lithium-ion batteries causing a short, discharging an immense amount of energy in a short amount of time. Given that I live in an area where salt is put on the roads to remove snow and ice, I'm not terribly fond of the idea of putting such a vehicle in the same building where my loved ones live and sleep.
If you'd told me as a young pup--having just learned that half a cup of gasoline is equivalent to a stick of dynamite in explosive power--that I'd be choosing to have two fuel bombs in my garage to avoid having rechargeable batteries there--I'd have thought you were nuts. But here we are.
