:D It was funny to us but people who are not so educated about EVs may believe this kind of junk. I've seen laws being prepared on BS like this (or is there other way? :P ).
In theory if the vehicle was a conversion with non-steel battery compartment and had unisolated charging procedure on-going and from outlet with no ground fault detectors and there was heavy rain or wet ground and the person there would have been grounded with no gloves and used conductive hose (?). Then maybe. But more likely one could get two jackpots from national lottery in a row. EV charging outlets are mostly equipped with ground fault detector and the chargers are isolated. At least all new installations. So no realistic way to get electrocuted during charging from battery DC. So if it was not charging. What then? Battery packs are on nearly all EVs isolated from the chassis. Even then being enough lucky to find the most highest potential against the chassis would be stunning performance of accuracy with that spike. But even then there would need to be the other leakage to chassis from the isolated side. Effectively there would have been a isolation problem with the car already and it should prevent any operation. This kind of 'news' have to be explained to audience how impossible they are. Not long time ago I still met people who thought electric cars cannot be used while it rains.
