A leaky gas cap causing an electric motor to burn out? Sounds like a bunch of hogwash to me.

I was working on my daughter's Jeep Cherokee today in the hot tropical sun and the thought occurred to me that it will be a great day when cars are electric and I won't have to look for vacuum leaks and replace emission control sensors/valves. All this will be over like some bad dream.
