Flames from an electric vehicle that caught fire overnight damaged some power lines and scorched a home in the Granada Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles.
The fire was reported around 2 a.m. on Rinaldi Street near Haskell Avenue.
Firefighters found flames engulfing a Mercedez-Benz, which proved to be difficult to put out.
The electrical nature of the fire made it so intense that firefighters requested additional resources, Stringer News Service KNN reported.
Flames from the burning vehicle spread to a nearby home and burned some power lines in the area. It was unclear if power was affected at any of the residences.
The cause of the fire was unknown but what appeared to be a charging chord or possibly a power line was seen draped across the front of the vehicle as it was burning.
There was no word on whether the car was charging at the time of the fire.

It was firey but mostly peaceful fire.
I think they’re already doing that by shifting the costs to ICE cars.
I am thinking a guy who looked like DeNiro was in the car ala ‘Casino’ movie.

If only it were DeNiro... (just kidding!)

Dave don’t drive the other car

Isn’t that neat how one EV fire affects others in the neighbor hood.? There’s a lesson here if anyone would care to learn it.
ICE tend to burn when starting or when repairs go wrong.
Not burst into flames in the middle of the night while parked.
That guy’s name didn’t happen to be Sam “Ace”:Rothstein, was it?😜
“But you don’t really care for music, do you?”
Hallelujah!
😜
I can't remember, it's been so long.
"Sam" kida does ring a bell, but could be nothing to do with this.
Rothstein was a real life Mafia associate and played by Robert “DeZero” in “Casino”!
