The two-seater was “totally destroyed” by the blaze which also caused smoke damage to the building next door.

It had been left plugged in to charge overnight but fire crews were called in the early hours of Sunday (July 9) morning to tackle the blaze.

Firefighters registered a temperature of 300C as the 17.6kWh lithium ion battery back continued to burn.

And Richard Hammond's electric car, also destroyed by a battery fire.

Of course to know whether this is more likely we need to know the rates of fires relative to the numbers of cars of each type.
