This is the terrifying moment a suspected faulty battery caused an electric car to spontaneously burst into flames and explode.
James Musonda, 33, from Sheffield, South Yorkshire, has spoken of the 'horrific' incident, saying he 'could have died' had he been in the car - and told how his young daughter was just yards away in the house.
The blaze also destroyed two other cars nearby and part of the road itself.
Mr Musonda was woken by the loud explosion, thinking a tree had fallen on his home until he looked outside to see flames rising from his Mercedes EQA.
After checking on his wife and daughter, Mr Musonda rushed downstairs but was unable to leave because the fierce blaze engulfed the road.
