The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[DJC]

I like EV's, just not the ones that spontaneously combust like the cement tanker on the West Gate the other day. Oh wait...

That doesn’t get anywhere near the attention it should.

There was a photograph of an EV that spontaneously combusted in a car park (QLD?) recently and took out the five cars parked around it.

The EV boosters never mention the risk of Lithium battery fires.

My camper trailer has two AGM batteries and, with my portable solar panels, I can be off-grid  indefinitely.  Several folk with the same camper trailer are replacing the AGM batteries with much smaller, lighter and more efficient Lithium batteries … but not this little black duck!
