## Narrative
On 7/4/2024 at approximately 6pm, I disconnected my 2023 VW ID4 from an electrical charging station.  I moved my vehicle 2 blocks away to an apartment building parking lot, which I had parked in previously.  While pulling into the parking spot, I was coming to a complete stop, perhaps going 1-2 miles per hour and as I came to a stop, the car accelerated out of nowhere and crashed into a few small trees and a chain link fence for the neighbor's home.  I had a passenger in the front passenger seat and neither of us could understand what had just happened.  It made no sense and I have no idea what happened to cause the acceleration.
