That could indeed be a solution. Enough mass of water or enough flow of water will transfer the heat away fast enough. The battery is done at that point anyway, but submerging it will stop flames and toxic fumes from forming from an "o

I don't think much of it, too little information available at this point. Reuters [1 or see comment above] says the fire started "near" an EV, Sky seems to know better and says an EV was the source of the fire. What's ri

I know. And I think that tight packing is a problem. But it's also a problem with extinguishing "normal" car fires already, as fire can easily spread from one car to another, through heat radiation alone. The underlying probl

I guess the ferry will have firefighters onboard. They should be trained on how to handle car fires in general. They will then need some equipment to get EVs out of their parking position (forklift maybe?!?) and have some container ready to

If all else fails, I'd consider that option. But the problem seems to be more of how to get a burning car out of the pile of cars in your ferry. Doesn't matter if EV or not, you want to have it out of there at some point and that

See my answer on another comment: It's a question of the right strategy. But that strategy is being trained regularly, there are preparations in place and in case I would encounter an EV fire with my local department, we would have a t

Hm, it's not that difficult in the end, at least on land. First part is checking whether the battery pack is affected after all. Not all EV car fires lead to problems with the battery pack and sometimes you can just extinguish the fire

As a firefighter this is just as funny as cringeworthy to read. > An electric car fire gets very hot, and there may be a risk of explosion where toxic gases will be released You know what? That's the case with _every_ car fire in en

I was thinking the same. Taking in consideration the vast amount of such SEO farms, there's surely a lot of ad money to be spend/earned if you prioritize the "right" sites.
