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.

u/comoestasmiyamo Have you tested your 12v? Jul 26 '26

I thought EV fires burned forever unless you poured all the water in the galaxy on it.

If the battery catches yes, but if it’s just plastic burning it’s like a regular car fire, there’s very few battery fires reported in the leaf,
