A cargo ship loaded with electric vehicles is on fire in the middle of the Pacific Ocean—and the crew is gone. The Morning Midas caught fire on June 3, 2025, forcing all 22 crew members to abandon ship. With over 3,000 vehicles onboard—many of them EVs and hybrids—the incident raises serious questions about how we transport lithium-ion batteries at sea.
In this video, I break down what we know so far, what likely went wrong, and how this fire compares to other high-profile EV ship incidents like the Felicity Ace and Fremantle Highway. As global EV shipments increase, so do the risks—and this latest fire could be a sign that current safety protocols just aren’t enough.
