Volkswagen ID.4 SUVs Destroyed In Cargo Ship Fire, Confirmed

We've watched recent news coverage of a cargo ship on fire near the coast of Portugal. The ship was crossing the Atlantic Ocean on its way to the US, transporting many Volkswagen Group vehicles.

Of the ~4,000 vehicles on board, some were ridiculously expensive cars from Audi and Lamborghini. However, VW has confirmed there were also a number of ID.4 electric crossovers lost in the blaze. Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire, and, despite some media reports, they have not linked it to the electric vehicles.
