I'm not sure what you mean by 'spontaneously', in the Jacksonville article there is speculation about possible causes, & in the Canyon Lake they are pointing at charging overnight, but also throw the word 'retrofit' around & then speculate on other possible causes. ie: only use OEM equipment, carefully follow instructions, inspect battery for damage, don't charge past full, don't keep near flammable items, don't charge while sleeping, keep in an optimal temperature environment, & so on. |
Spontaneously: Steve made the assertion, I was looking for something to back that up.
These two articles are concerning. It is implied that an inappropriate charger was being used but no concrete statement to that effect. I still trust my OEM EZGO but will be careful with anything that may habe been modified.

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
