A Mercedes EQE sedan caught on the Fremantle Highway fire is submerged by recovery experts, likely as a precaution against thermal runaway
sedans that have already been offloaded and appear to have made it out unscathed. But one of the EVs has to be towed to the exit before being craned away. The video shows that the EQE in question is badly scorched, with the upper half covered in burn marks. Underneath, we can also observe damage to the undertray as the car is moved through the air.
Although there is no sign of smoke from the vehicle during this process, it is submerged in a water tank. At this point, steam is seen rising from the tank. One of the main difficulties firefighters have with electric vehicles is thermal runaway, whereby a vicious cycle of increasing temperature is triggered, caused by materials reacting within a battery cell.
