Luton Airport LT multi storey car park disaster yesterday as 1200 cars destroyed and 5 people hospitalised to what is 'suspected' to be an EV self combusting and inaccessible to the fire service. There were no fire sprinklers in this car park.

I just saw that, holy crap! Collapsing structure. That just killed the EV movement

Apparently it was a land rover (not EV) that started it.
The point remains though that whatever was the initial event the presence of a number of EVs in the carpark meant a match + a can of fuel situation. |

Some obvious EV hating guy couldn’t find a charger for a while in a car park where there’s actually a charger. So his “milk-float” Porsche sucks. Okay, super informative (!)

You might not find his EV prowess compelling but have you seen his video on, "An English Breakfast on a Pizza"? It moved me. Made me tear up.

Should we ban Range Rover products from garage decks as they may be the kindling for further fires?
I consider Range Rover as the underbrush of the automotive industry. When we go camping we often bring a Range Rover product to help get the campfire going quickly. Last edited by gblansten; 10-11-2023 at 08:54 AM.. |

Why not? It goes to show the day to day running of an EV that is on the go and not having the comfort of home charging and I did say UK specific.

It was suspected to be an EV so when they show a pic of it then I'll know to stop the guessing.

Without seing the burnt vehicle I can't take the word that 'it was reported' by someone that it was a diesel or some other vehicle. |

No, from the moment the video starts, I can tell the video is a setup, he's a toxic hater, and a liar. Even before he reaches the car park, he's already complaining! I've been in UK recently, I know very well that their charging infrastructure is much better than U.S.. You can find chargers everywhere, and in UK 25% of new car sales are EVs, expected to reach 50% next year. So you need to be really uninformed - ignorant to believe misinformation videos like this.

There is misinformation, as the investigators found out that the fire was started by a diesel Land Rover. And that's the only INFORMATION available. So when you share the video with the headline 'EV caused fire', it's misinformation, it's a lie.

When there is evidence, they need to convince you - a hater conspiracy theorist from U.S.. Why? You have evidence that investigators are lying?

"While the fire is still officially listed as under investigation, the trade Automobilwoche contends the preliminary survey and report say apparently the fire was not caused by electric cars. The manifest showed there were 498 electric vehicles and hybrids and a total of 3,784 vehicles including some heavy equipment in addition to cars." From a NON-EV oriented website: https://maritime-executive.com/artic...mantle-highway The final report is pending. There will be real EV fires but probably ought to focus on accuracy.
