Eyewitness footage showed a large fire at Chinese electric vehicle maker BYD's parking garage in a Shenzhen industrial park on Tuesday (April 14).
Videos showed the blaze sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky, with flames stretching across a long section of a multi-story building, with fire trucks and police deployed to the scene.
According to experts, EVs burn differently than cars with internal combustion engines, with fires often lasting longer and being harder to extinguish as they have a tendency to reignite.
