A Chevrolet Equinox EV burst into flames on a major Boston highway during the morning commute. The Chevrolet Equinox EV is one of the most affordable electric cars available in the US today, starting just over $33,000.

The blaze began at 7am and took two hours to put out, after which local officials reopened lanes, according to CBS News. Luckily, no one was injured.

Electric cars are much less likely to catch on fire than gas-powered cars, Kelley Blue Book reports. In this incident, the firefighters may have used fire retardant foam to contain the blaze based on photos of the event.

The incident is still under investigation. The driver’s theory on what happened is that a piece of road debris punctured the Equinox EV's battery, igniting a fire. Several other vehicles hit debris that morning as well, CBS News reports.
