On June 3, 2025, the cargo ship Morning Midas, loaded with over 3,000 vehicles—including 70 electric and 681 hybrid cars—caught fire in the North Pacific, about 300 miles south of Alaska’s Adak Island. The fire likely began on the deck containing EVs and quickly escalated, prompting the entire 22-member crew to abandon the ship. They were safely rescued by another merchant vessel and the U.S. Coast Guard. Despite the activation of the ship's CO₂ fire suppression system, the fire reignited, highlighting the notorious difficulty in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires. These fires are known for thermal runaway, where one battery’s ignition can trigger a chain reaction. The vessel remains adrift and burning, with environmental and salvage concerns rising. This incident marks the third major EV-related cargo ship fire in recent years, following the Felicity Ace (2022) and Fremantle Highway (2023).

Australia has become the first country to introduce a dedicated license class for ultra high-powered vehicles (UHPVs), targeting supercars with extreme acceleration capabilities. The new “U Class” license is now required in South Australia for any vehicle exceeding 276 kilowatts per tonne in power-to-weight ratio. This includes models from Lamborghini, Ferrari, McLaren, and other performance brands. The aim is to ensure drivers are equipped with the skills to handle such machines safely on public roads. The move follows a series of fatal crashes involving high-performance vehicles, most notably a 2019 tragedy in Adelaide. The licensing process includes a mandatory online course costing $61, and an additional $20 fee to add the classification to an existing driver’s license. Offenders who drive UHPVs without the proper license face heavy penalties — up to $2,500 for a first offense. This initiative marks a major shift toward regulating high-speed vehicle operation and may serve as a model for other countries. #Supercars #AustraliaNews #VehicleSafety #DrivingLaws #PerformanceCars
