FYI Chevy Sonic burst into flames

Pardon my ignorance. I thought its was an e car as well. For sure it is a gasser.
I have a twelve foot extension attached to a timer set for four hours. I usually set them up on the far end of the picnic table. Four hours has been enough to fully charge both batteries so far (we have two bikes). Our batteries are detachable so they are stored in the back of the Jeep when not in use. I won't have them in the coach. If the Jeep burns it isn't that big of a deal. Perhaps I'm just being paranoid but one hears these horror stories.

you should invest in a lipo charging/storage bag/box

Amazon.com : ebike battery fireproof box

there are a lot out there, find one that fits your batteries. safest way to store them.

Strange how incidents like this aren’t considered news worthy because it was an internal combustion engine. But if it had been a battery car, then it would be news worthy.

What source can you reference backing that up?

This didn’t even make local news. It was one heck of a blaze.

You’re Wrong About EV Fires​

Gas- and diesel-powered vehicles catch fire way more often than EVs, but you wouldn’t know that from the headlines.

And then there is this headline

“Flooded Tesla EVs From Hurricane Ian Exploding All Over Florida”​
