No idea. What is it?
Fearmongering.

Current: Hyundai Ioniq 6 Ultimate
Next: we'll see what's available in 2028.Yes, something gets hot so goes on fire, the fire makes it hotter so the fire gets bigger… the bigger fire makes it hotter still so more fire and so on and so on until it burns itself out. A very dangerous situation but also very rare ?

Is it a bit like drinking too much leads to drinking more in a field? (Private joke, sorry folks)
Skoda Enyaq Race Blue
This is what Wikipedia says…
Thermal runaway describes a process that is accelerated by increased temperature, in turn releasing energy that further increases temperature…. In chemistry (and chemical engineering), thermal runaway is associated with strongly exothermic reactions that are accelerated by temperature rise.
Can’t say I’ve heard of it effecting EV’s so as been said, just media BS or perhaps our old friends the Daily Fail.

Drinking in the field is fine, we’ve all done that…. it’s the next morning when your drinking buddy is up before 7am fresh as a daisy and ready to go ? that’s what kills me ?

It can affect an EV but more likely to be your mobile phone charging on the bedside table all night or kids electric scooters/skateboards left plugged in…. much more common is a diesel runaway but it never gets a mention in the daily wail
Yes seems strange, however guess it’s a business for someone..?There’s info on that website, must admit seems overkill, maybe…
Luckily the xc90 isn’t on the the scheme ?Oh I see now. Like phones or laptops going pop from time to time.
Is this what happened to the Vauxhall Zafira? 235 000 had to be recalled because they kept catching fire. Also to the first gen mini with a turbo issue and who remembers the Jaguar f type. The BMW X5 three recalls due to fire risk.
Yeah hopefully no need for concern..
?
