What the hell!! Don't these chargers have monitoring and safety systems to prevent causing an EV to be welded to the charging cable and or rendered useless? 😳
The charger itself controls the flow of power into the battery. So it's totally EA's fault.

So essentially the explosive fuse likely prevented total destruction of the battery and/ or a battery fire. It did it’s job.

Yea..

Makes you worry that they go straight to Defcon 5, which on the surface is a good thing, safety first. But it also shows how immature their systems are.

As a work in progress, it is better to blow out the connection than risk a fatality.
Mr. Pedantic again...

Defcon 5 is normal, the lowest threat. Defcon 1 is the highest level.
