My father-in-law paid for college in North Dakota with an old pickup and an industrial battery, jump-starting dead cars in the winter for 20 bucks a jump.
In the era of electric vehicles, maybe someone needs to come up with a smart alternative, unlike this EV owner in Denmark. 👇
Toasters apparently get a little too warm and can set the car on fire.
Yep, a Denmark EV owner put a toaster under his car battery to warm it up while the vehicle was sitting in a carport.
The carport was connected to a house.
The house also caught on fire.
"The cause of the fire is most likely to be found in the toaster that the owner of the car had placed under the front of his car to keep the battery warm," police said in a daily report.
No one was inured in the blaze, but the car was destroyed, and while the reports don't mention it, I'm pretty sure breakfast was also ruined in the incident.
The car's owner is facing a fine, but really, having to eat eggs without toast should be punishment enough.
