And quite a few for ICE especially the Vauxhall range.
Chinese I hope 
I’m afraid not.
That seems to be the way with charging in the UK, you really get bent over unless you keep your wits about you.

That doesnt leave much left then LG chem had problems with a batch used in Korean cars.
The only time I have had a car fire was in the 1960s or possibly '70s when in the Standard Vanguard I was paid to take to Doncaster to race in the inaugural banger race of a new race track. On the first lap I was turned upside down and the engine immediately caught fire. The race was stopped and I was dragged out with the only injury to my denim jacket, the arms of which fell apart due to the acid from the battery (yes, another electric fire 
) which I had taken the precaution of protecting by relocating it in the cabin with me alongside the, similarly relocated, petrol tank. 
We certainly knew how to look after ourselves in those days. 
BTW, the Vanguard was left for Doncaster to sort out. 
An update to the spontaneously combusting EV saga.
The fire started in the EV parked next to my daughter’s car, and the driver’s insurance company has now contacted my daughter to say that the driver had told them that they were responsible for the fire, and could my daughter please submit a claim to them for all her losses.
In my experience this is a very unusual state of affairs, but my daughter’s compiling a claim and taking legal advice.
