I dun know.

I dun even know if this benz is a EV or not.

But I dun believe so. Because No 1 give a damn even if we got ICE fire every day or every week.

But every EV fire . Its the end of the 🌎 

 

 

Not EV..W212.

yeah, look at the fire burning on the car park ground

those are petrol leak from the car burning

it was no furious because the car is parked, engine is off, petrol pump not running

if this happened when driving

it will be fast and furious as the petrol pump will keep feeding the fire with petrol

A park ICE burn on itself 😨

I dun know the result of this car. Did it burn to the ground or the fire stop on it own.

Imagine it totally burn out. And it's park in a mscp full of cars.

We have a similar case as 🇰🇷 😵‍💫

I suspect many ICE cars have fuel leak problem

but not every one of them catch fire because we need these 3 (fire triangle) to happen at the same time (swiss chess model) to start a fire

both my mercs had petrol leak from the fuel hose between the chassis and the engine

but they didn't catch fire because lack of one final element

after I fixed the fuel leak problem, the probability of catching fire is even lower as now got to get two layers of swiss cheese to align

not only angmo chia

angmo motorcycle also leak petrol

I got first hand experience, on 3 different motorcycle some more, from two different country in europe (aka conti)

waiting at the traffic lights, strong petrol smell, so strong until the petrol vapour irritated my eyes under full face helmet

looked down, the fuel was sprinkling on to the hot engine

just need a stray spark, ah Gnahp will become roast chicken

my other angmo chia also famous for bursting into flames

I carry a fire extinguisher, fire blanket and fire proof gloves in that car

I told my wife recently

when we retire, we should go back to jippun chia and jippun motorcycle

It is rubber and seal with lots of heat and vibration, Japanese cars, mine did, will leak too, they don't design and build cars like they used to.

Somehow conti tends to leak earlier and in more places vs Japanese. That has been my experience and cars of the family. 
i would  think the engines run at a much higher temperature for one. 
one area they do better is longevity of suspension. The shocks last longer.
