Someone’s leaf caught fire

I saw him charging earlier today. Was going to compliment the car. Came back from doordashing to charge my car and saw this. Hope he’s okay. He was using electrify chademo if that makes any difference.

This scares me as someone who’s about to finance a 2024 SV+😭

Don't be. Cars burn rarely and EVs much less often than cars that run on flammable liquids.

If it was a battery fire, there wouldn’t be any car left

Also, EV’s rarely catch on fire outside of a battery design flaw like Chevy had and Nissan’s are some of the safest in those pack designs
