Watch This Explosion Of Charging An Electric Car Captured On Video
[SHOWTOGROUPS=4,20,22]
It ended with a huge blast that blew the doors right off.
This electric car (of unidentified make) did not have much luck when it visited a charging station in Sanming, in southern China on August 20, 2020.
***UPDATE: It's come to our attention that the vehicle in the vehicle is a BAIC. Additionally, it might be a plug-in hybrid, which could help to explain the blast.
First, it caught fire (smoke came out while charging), presumably because there was some issue with the battery during charging.
And then, once firefighters entered the scene with the idea to cool it down with water, the car literally exploded.
We don't know any details about the event, but according to brief media reports, no one was injured, which is great considering the flying doors. At the moment of the explosion, there were people walking just five parking spaces from the car.
