Concerns about EV vehicles were raised after a Chevy Volt caught fire in a NHTSA parking lot three weeks after a routine side impact safety test. An article in Wired.com noted that no other similar fires had been reported in EV vehicles including the volt. GM noted that the electrical charge should be drained from a vehicle after a crash although GM told the testers after the fire and not before.
