Skimmed through the article to try and find the cause. They're still investigating but the driver's theory is a piece of road debris punctured the battery.

Before anyone thinks EVs are more dangerous, the article states upfront that EVs are much less likely to catch on fire than ICE vehicles, according to KBB reports.

To be fair, this happened to a diesel car I had some 25 years ago. Catching fire while driving, that is.

Not nearly enough ICE vehicles are burning, if you ask me. Oh, you meant internal combustion engine? Silly me.

I dunno who buys Cadillacs. They are ugly and overpriced.

Except Escalades — They are ugly and overpriced, but they have a following for some bizarre reason. Something to do with conspicuous consumption I presume.

Have you ever been in an escalade?
