    " A fierce blaze on a cargo ship carrying 3000 vehicles has killed one crewman and is still burning out of control off the coast of the Netherlands.

    The inferno was reportedly sparked by an electric vehicle on board the ship Fremantle Highway.

    The crew of 23 mostly Indian nationals initially tried to douse the flames but had to flee from the ferocious fire. One of them was killed and others were injured, with seven sailors jumping into the water, according to the captain of the Ameland lifeboat, Willard Molenaar."

    These EVs never give up. You park them in your garage at your peril. You can't find recharging 'bowsers' pushing anxiety levels through the roof. You have to change your expensive battery too soon. Now they even want to charge you registration fees. Oh woe.
