Oversized electric golf cart fanbois not pleased at this exposure.
BODY COUNT>
Dead — One EV Mercedes
Injured — 21 People
This must be a world record for people injured in an EV self-immolation.
The Korean world, it is explodin’
EVs flarin’, EVs loadin’
You’re old enough for K-Pop, but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but Global Warming?
And even the Inchon river has bodies floatin’
The EV that exploded was>>>>
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQE all-electric sedan has a starting price of $74,900 and goes up to $106,900 depending on the trim and options1
I guess Korean firefighting techniques aren't up to the high standards expected by Mercedes Benz.
No link to the video?
1) It burns up
2) It comes off a lease
Well, in the wrong environment any Mercedes can end up with the Benz.
Mercedes is trying to blame the sprinkler system in the garage for not controlling the fire as its vehicle went into thermal runaway in an effort to deflect blame and limit their liability exposure.
It is known that sprinkler systems are of only limited value when EVs decide to erupt.

Electrified tutonic wonder.
At some point, insurance companies will refuse to insure EVs (I think some already have). It’s bad enough when it catches fire in the owner’s garage, but when ‘mass casualty’ events start happening .... 21 people hospitalized, 8 hours to get fire under control, etc.

“Mercedes has kept details about its battery supply chain largely under wraps”
Said another way the battery might have the “Made in China” stamp on it.
EV=Explosive Vehicle
Never had that happen to a gas car or even heard of it.
What runs on batteries?
