Electric cars supercharged
Matt Farah, who runs The Smoking Tire YouTube channel says: “I ordered a [Porsche] Boxster Spyder in August, and I was very excited to get it at the end of this month, and now it seems like it might become an artificial reef.” The ship carrying the cars, called “Felicity Ace,” left the port of Emden in Germany bound for Davisville in Rhode Island. Onboard the ship were 4,000 cars that had rolled off the production line at Volkswagen Auto Group. Among the cars were regular VWs, but also fancier makes, like Bentley, Porsche, and Audi. Unfortunately, it now seems nobody will ever get to drive those automobiles. Because the ship caught fire. The crew did its best to put the fire out to no avail. All 22 members of the crew climbed into a lifeboat and left the ship. The good news is that none of them was hurt. That leaves us with the still-burning ship, though. You can’t put a burning lithium-ion battery out with water. “Everything was on fire about five meters above the water line. It is getting closer,” he added. To make things even more difficult, the rescue crews won’t be able to get on the ship. They’ll have to try cooling the ship’s hull from the outside with water and hope it kills the flames. Risk-modeling company Russell Group estimated Monday there are $401 million worth of cars on board, and that roughly $155 million worth belong to Volkswagen. Anderson Economic Group, a Michigan-based consultant, assumes a $334.6 million cargo loss. The fire seems to be dying now and tug boats are connected with the idea of dragging the ship to a repair port.
