I seem to remember a few years back watching an Irish produced TV programme on the horses kept on the tower block estate . Thanks it was Ballymun, I couldn't remember.
Slightly off topic, I remember as a young lad when my Grandfather's building company won a contract to completely refurbish and put in new central heating in a local council estate in the Midlands called the Lost City (after the pub on the estate) where horses were kept in the bathroom upstairs (hay in the bath tub) and no sooner they put the copper and fittings in for the central heating, much would be stripped out overnight, even with security on site. The worst I saw was one house, all the floorboards except for a small walkway in each room ( the beds and sofa sat on the joists) had been ripped up and burnt for heating during the winter. How the other half live!
Yes I appreciate much is to do with the battery management, however there have been a few fires of damaged EV's in for repair that have subsequently caught fire, and hence the new regulations requiring isolation of them from other vehicles by some 5 metres whilst in the repair shop. The recent ship fires with EV's on board which were difficult to put out, clearly identifies a real risk with EV vehicles. So I'm not surprised that as more real life experience and resultant inevitable accidents and EV repair costs have seen massive hikes in insurance premiums as the Industry comes to terms with some of the down sides of EV's ownership on our roads.
