[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4014875, member: 7900"] With regards to the lithium-ion batteries catching fire, at least one of those is suspected of starting a fire on a cargo ship carrying a large number of high dollar cars, including some electric models. [URL='https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cargo-ship-luxury-cars-sinks-atlantic-ocean-portugal/']CBS News - Cargo Ship with Luxury Cars Sinks in Atlantic Ocean[/URL] "European carmakers declined to discuss how many vehicles and what models were on board, but Porsche customers in the United States were being contacted by their dealers, the company said. "We are already working to replace every car affected by this incident and the first new cars will be built soon," Angus Fitton, vice president of PR at Porsche Cars North America, Inc., told The Associated Press in an email. The ship was transporting electric and non-electric vehicles, according to Portuguese authorities. Suspicion on what started the fire on Feb. 16 has fallen on lithium batteries used in electric vehicles, though authorities say they have no firm evidence about the cause." [/QUOTE]
