Curious as to what battery chemistry he was using.

I think they were HiPower LiFePO4 cells. BMS may have been the problem but nothing definite yet.

The car was plugged in to charge and left unattended. The wall charging system was not completely tested and had never been left unattended. A mistake was made. It was not the fault of the car.
