Please reply with only facts, with what you can share and not any platitudes or anti EV opinion.

 

EVinsider has more recent pictures with what seems like the fire is also coming from the bottom of the EV.
We don't have more facts yet than these sources, but given the black plastic pattern below the headlights, I recognize it as a BYD Seal. 

 

For what I have found online sofar, this is the third case of a documented EV fire of a personal vehicle in Thailand.

 

1) 2024 Porsche Taycan.

2) 2023 BYD Atto 3.
Cause was a short in the 12V cable
