My co-worker's nanny's car, a new Subaru, burst into flames in her driveway while it was just sitting without the engine running. Non-crash fires occur so frequently that the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) produces a Noncrash Fire Losses Report, and insurance companies calculate premiums based on that data.

- radicalbyte 7y agoWe get one car fire every other year in the neighborhood thanks to the combination of teenagers with fireworks. There are always a few dozen a year in the town (110k people). I'd have a power wall either in my garage or in a box outside the house if it would mean that we could go off-grid. Sadly that's not possible here (we've got more wind power than sun power and residential wind isn't feasible).
