Toaster Used to Warm Car Battery Sparks Fire in Denmark

The unconventional method resulted in a destroyed vehicle, damaged house, and potential fine for the car's owner.

A toaster placed under an electric vehicle to warm up its battery likely caused a fire that destroyed the car and damaged a nearby house in southern Denmark.
The incident occurred on Saturday in Stenlille, about 40 miles southwest of Copenhagen.
No one was injured in the incident.
The car was parked in a carport, a shelter for vehicles that is attached to a house and consists of a flat roof supported on pillars.
The car's owner faces a fine.
