Jeep Wrangler 4xe fire concerns

From my email inbox:

If you’re interested in covering this, do you have any information maybe?

Customers are frustrated/nervous…my wife included (2022 Rubicon 4XE).

Jeep Wrangler 4XE’s, 8 reported so far from my research have caught fire.

Stellantis released a notice to customer, battery fault…don’t charge vehicle or park inside structure/near structure or other vehicles.

No fix available at this time.

I would never own an EV with pouch cells (unless Lithium Iron Phosphate)
They’re too dangerous we saw this with the Chevys catching fire.

Kudos to Nissan for figuring it out with the Leaf even though it’s disappointing in most other ways.
