Porsche Taycan ev catching fire? Never !
Best stick with a 911 Turbo which is much less expensive, fast and reliable. https://www.thesun.co.uk/motors/2416...sh-hour-china/ |

If I ever own a EV, I will put in the best of the best carbon dioxide fire suppression system in my garage. My life is priceless and I don't want to burn to the ground with the EV in the middle of the night. But with all the extra cost, why not just keep driving ICE and keep life simple.

Whatever you do don't ever put an EV into your garage, keep the thing outside to protect the house and keep the occupants safe. |
