EV Catches Fire While Charging in China; Banana Fritter Cart Burns in Thailand

An electric vehicle is seen charging when smoke begins to appear from its undercarriage, followed by flames.

The owner of the EV notices the smoke and exits the vehicle as the fire intensifies, with flames erupting from the car.

The incident occurred in Guangdong Province, China. Bystanders and passersby react to the burning EV, with some attempting to extinguish the fire.

Two individuals arrive with a fire extinguisher and manage to control the blaze. The owner quickly moves the vehicle away.

Authorities suggest potential causes for EV fires, including electrical short circuits and chargers supplying excessive current, especially as batteries near full charge.

A separate incident shows a banana fritter cart catching fire during a festival in Roi Et, Thailand.

The fire appears to originate from a gas leak near the cooking stove, causing flames to erupt and spread to the cart's roof.

Vendors and bystanders quickly respond with fire extinguishers, water, and cloths to douse the flames, bringing the fire under control.

The fire is believed to be caused by a gas leak from the cylinder or its valve near the hot stove, igniting due to proximity.
