LG Chem pouch battery cell

[Jose Daniel Gomez]

Porsche Taycans are using the same LG Chem pouch battery cell E66A ( NCM 712 chemistry) used in Chevrolet Bolts and Hyundai Konas recently involved in fires and also there is a report of a Taycan in Florida, USA, involved in a fire.
I understand that batteries may be the same but design and software are different, but is there any communication from Porsche about this issue?
Any recommendations from Porsche?

Yes, lots of recommendations on how to treat your batteries. Even more interesting, the Taycan is probably sitting in the garage of a really expensive house probably with some other really other expensive cars so if it goes up in smoke, it will be quite the show.

Have never heard of a Taycan spontaneously combusting. But.......
