A quiet evening turned terrifying for the Bayliss family in Northants when their $64,000 electric Mercedes EQA suddenly exploded in flames while parked on their driveway. The car, plugged in to charge, transformed into a dangerous blaze that spread to their garage and damaged part of their home, filling the air with thick smoke and forcing the family to evacuate in the dead of night. While the family escaped unharmed, the incident left a charred vehicle, a severely damaged home, and a lingering question: how could this happen?
