Hyundai has had its share of recalls connected to battery fires in electric vehicles, including some that have caused the South-Korean car maker to advise owners not to park their vehicles inside, and now there's this:
The Washington Post reports:
Joao Mendes Cabecas, a captain of the nearby port of Hortas, told Reuters that lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars on the Felicity Ace caught fire, but it was unclear whether that is what started the blaze.
“The ship is burning from one end to the other,” Cabecas said. “Everything is on fire about five meters [16 feet] above the water line.”
CNN reports there are some 11-Hundred vehicles on the burning ship. None of the cars on board are believed to be Hyundai-manufactured.
