‘Thermal runaway': Electric vehicles catching fire are ‘virtually impossible to put out'
CarExpert Founder Paul Maric discusses the flammability of electric cars, claiming that if the vehicle does catch fire as a result of its battery, 'thermal runaway' occurs and the vehicle becomes 'virtually impossible to put out'. This comes amid a US shipping company banning electric vehicles after a ship called the 'Morning Midas' sank from an electric vehicle fire. 'It's a bit of a mix of both … you've got issues with electric vehicles catching fire,' Mr Maric told Sky News host Steve Price. 'It's not as common, the problem is once they do catch fire, they get thermal runaway, and they're virtually impossible to put out.'

BYD Shark 6 ute finally gets some more colours
The BYD Shark 6 had a fairly limited colour palette, even by 2025 standards. That's now changed. The plug-in hybrid (PHEV) ute recently gained the option of an Outback Orange paint finish, its boldest one yet and one that neatly matches some of the orange trim elements inside. Now, BYD has added another exterior colour to the palette: Grey Mist. CarExpert can save you thousands on a new car. Click here to get a great deal. BYD describes it as "a sophisticated matte finish with unmistakable street presence", and it's now available to order. Like the existing Deep Sea Blue, Tidal Black and Outback Orange finishes, Grey Mist costs an extra $700. The BYD Shark 6 continues to be offered in a single Premium trim, priced at $57,900 before on-road costs. The electrified dual-cab 4×4 ute has helped fuel BYD's surge up the sales charts. It was the fifth best-selling brand in June – a feat never managed before by a Chinese brand in Australia – and the Shark 6 was the fifth best-selling model overall. It was just 126 deliveries behind the Isuzu D-Max, Australia's third best-selling ute, despite that model being available in a range of body styles and trim levels, and with a choice of two engines and rear- or four-wheel drive. The Shark 6 is currently Australia's best-selling PHEV and the 12th best-selling model overall with 10,424 deliveries to the end of June.
