Electric cars catch fire in Florida after flooding
8 months ago

In just the last couple of days after the storm, two electric vehicles, one in Pinellas Park and a Tesla in Palm Harbor, caught fire after the storm surge pushed a wall of saltwater inland. Carfax spokesperson Patrick Olsen said owners need to understand the fire risk doesn't go away after the vehicle dries out. “The saltwater that is flooding can get into the battery and dry there and once it dries, it creates what federal safety officials call bridges between cells, and that can lead to fires, and that those fires can come anywhere from days to weeks later. And once an EV catches on fire, it is incredibly difficult to put it out.”
