    Oh no, can't park my electric car in garage as it will burn down the house.

    You would think that we are smarter than this... ah new tech taking us backwards.

    Hyundai Australia is not commenting – at least officially – on the growing concern relating to the possible recall of the majority of Australian electric Konas due to the potential for a fully charged battery to catch fire, as it has done in the US and South Korea.

    But Hyundai did respond to one owner with the following email, advising the owner to park the electric Kona away from flammable structures, and not in a garage.
