Battery fire

A JAGUAR I-Pace electric car caught fire while being charged at a garage in the US – the fourth such battery fire in the I-Pace series, which is Jaguar’s first, and only, all-electric vehicle.

According to Electrek, Jaguar uses LG battery cells like those used in the Bolt EV and Kona EV, which were both recalled for battery fire risks recently.

The latest battery fire was reported by Jaguar I-Pace owner Gonzalo Salazar in the state of Florida. Chevy and Hyundai – which also use LG Chem cells in the Kona EV – have made massive recalls in the past. In the case of the Jaguar I-Pace, the automaker also uses LG pouch battery cells in its electric vehicle.
