The intention behind it is clear: The aim of the video is to show how dangerous electric cars can be in accidents. However, the first questions that come to mind are: Where did this happen, and is it an electric car?

April 30, 2017, Singapore
That day, a taxi caught fire and eventually exploded on Commonwealth Avenue near Buono Vista MRT station, Channel News Asia reported. Four people, including a firefighter, were injured.
The fire was apparently caused by a traffic accident and investigations were just beginning at the time. As “Cannel News Asia” further reports, it was a car from the taxi company “ Trans-Cab ”.
