It took several hours to put out the burning electric car

On the night of Monday, an electric Opel was suddenly in flames on a commuter lot at the Midtjyske Motorvej east of Grejs.

On the night of Monday, an Opel Corsa Electric that was parked on a commuter lot at the Midtjyske Motorvej east of Grejs caught fire.

The fire broke out in Oplen's battery pack. The called fire brigade therefore had great challenges in getting the fire out again.

According to Rune Nielsen, who is the head of duty at South East Jutland Police, there is nothing dangerous about the fire. The problem lies in the extinguishing work.
