Several more articles go in depth in this thread over in the news forum...

http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=8806.0

Discussion of the incident itself would probably be better on that thread, but I came here first when I saw the story above on Facebook because I thought this story would be of special interest to the Energica fans in this product forum.

Anyone concerned with fire issues?  They seem to have fielded several customer concerns already.

Not worried. My KTM 1290 SA with 7.9 gallons of gas can probably start a much larger fire than my Eva's battery can.
