Were these EVs....

Anybody know?

I doubt it. they were VW and Porsche automobiles

Even if there were some electric Porsche cars, they would have been shipped with a low battery charge to prevent the risk of fire.

The last paragraph of that last article is especially interesting.

189 Bentlys on board. Ouch.

Both Porche and VW make EVs so it’s possible, but fires were destroying ships long before electricity was even discovered...

The longer it goes the more likely it is EV’s
