Nice quotes in there such as:-
Another study by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that EVs are 20 times less likely to catch fire than ICE cars.
An additional study by that agency and an American insurer found that just 25 out of 100,000 EVs suffer fire damage.
By comparison, 1530 per 100,000 ICE cars experience fire, and hybrid vehicles suffer a much higher risk of 3475 per 100,000.
Of course BEVs & hybrids are very difficult to put out in a fire.
This is the area of interest to me that needs a lot more research as the HEV is the only way ahead in rural areas such as mine, other than the visiting grockles with their Muskmobiles.
The French will be only too keen to sell us their underground reserves of Hydrogen, so the only proper solution is just around the corner, this combined with Mr Bamford's achievements are the real track out of the mire.
If they haven't developed cheaper and greener ways of producing it by the time it is depleted - there will ben o hope at all as batteries are unbelievable dreadful things for almost every situation on the planet unless you are a myopic "an EV Born again" sort, of which there are many as the International sell has brain squashed many into a new belief for their own revenue reasons...
P.S. High Hamster thank you for your most interesting new professional input on this topic.
Really enlightening if not very scary in the same breath
