So uh, my BMW i3 caught on fire November 29, 2021 | 11 Comments Original text too short. Electric Vehicles
Thatβs definitely a range extender fire. If it were a battery fire, the front would be equally crisped as the rear. The fact that the vehicle is still *ON* is astounding. The main battery and the 12V battery must still be intact. Reply
I hope you are okay and I’m sorry about your car. Any word on what caused it? It looks like the back lit up but isn’t the battery pack more mid-car? Either way, hope you are safe. Reply
Fuuuuck. They should definitely have built a more robust REx. You don’t hear about this with the Chevy Volt. Also, people say that forums bring out the problems, well this was a flaired member of the EV subreddit.. :/ Reply

Crazy that the 12V system is still functioning
Ouch π
Such a nice little car they are too.
Hope you’re okay?
Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “my BMW i3 melted?”

It is a sign for you to upgrade to the BMW i4.
No story?

You have the Rex? Looks like the Rex corner.
