- jeffrallen 2y agoThe problem with fighting electric battery fires is finding enough water to cool them. Where oh where could a ferry find vast quantities of water? :)
- mystified5016 2y agoOutside the boat. You need power to get water into the boat, which poses a problem when your power generator is on fire
- wakawaka28 2y agoBattery fires are generally toxic and unextinguishable. That is the real problem. The pollution of water and air is too often overlooked when it comes to these fires, and the health risks associated with that very toxic crap are not well-understood.
- thebruce87m 2y agoAnybody talking about “battery fires” without specifying the chemistry is just showing their ignorance. There are multiple different chemistries. Go look up the guy drilling into LFP batteries on YouTube. Edit: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xNjz73p80 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xNjz73p80
- HPsquared 2y agoFair, maybe the protection is more of the "preventive" sort. But they haven't published specifics of which chemistry it is, to my knowledge.
