A motor in reverse rotation, like these wheels would be, is just a generator. The power has to be dissipated in some way, and the most likely form is heat. This outcome doesn't surprise me in the slightest.Ok so, am I missing something here?
I feel like towing improperly shouldn't cause A FIRE.
I can see it damaging the motor/inverter, but how does that cause it to catch fire??? That seems like a major design flaw if that's the case. These things are gonna get improperly towed all the time
I feel like a much more likely cause would be the fact that the battery was damaged in whatever wreck it was in before getting towed. (Or possibly the other wrecked vehicle being towed caught fire and it spread).
Maybe I'm off but improper towing causing it to go up in flames seems insane
