I wonder what will happen the first time one catches fire on the Chunnel.
The fires are a serious concern, serious enough for me to not want an EV anywhere near my house. If anyone remembers, over 40 years ago BMW made a fully electric vehicle named the BMW E1. It was just a trial at the time to see if a fully electric vehicle was a feasible possibility. It was a success for the engineers, with a range of around 125 miles if I remember correctly but, while on charge overnight it suddenly burst in to flames and destroyed it. Fast forward to current day, technology has moved on, the batteries have improved but they are still catching fire. Tesla’s, JLR iPace, Chevrolet, Dodge, Toyota, Mitsubishi and electric buses, bikes and scooters, they’ve all had incidents of fire. The percentage of this happening is quite low apparently, but not low enough for some people to be comfortable having an EV within a few feet of their house.
