Family's £50k electric Mercedes explodes while charging at home

This is the shocking moment a family’s £50,000 electric Mercedes burst into flames on their driveway.

Dramatic footage shows the luxury EQA model explode just feet away from Scott and Georgina Bayliss’ front door.

The blaze was so intense it set fire to the garage and caused smoke damage to the front bedroom.

Firefighters raced to the couple’s home in Spratton, Northants., after their son James, 17, raised the alarm at around 9.15pm on September 30.

Scott, 47, said he and Georgina were baffled about the cause of the fire which engulfed their car as the battery was charging.
