Wait, I think its New Zealand, but AU might follow. Something about lack of infrastructure/regulation for putting down EV fires.

- saiya-jin 3y agoA freaking small electric scooter caught fire recently, it took fire department few hours to even contain it, they were not able to actually put out flames. Maybe less than ideal procedure, but electric stuff getting on fire is a massive risk and regulators recognize it as such, especially when not out in the open.
- _ea1k 3y agoHow is that even possible? Was it located somewhere that limited their ability to bring in water? I just can't imagine a small scooter being that difficult to contain. Usually reignition is the big risk here rather than containment.
- _ea1k 3y agoThat doesn't really make sense for motorcycles, tbh. It barely makes sense for the cars, but they at least have significantly larger batteries.
