Hi,

   when you say you have it on great authority that the car starting the fire was electric, who is the great authority?

 The press reporting was based on what they were told by Bedfordshire Fire Service's chief fire officer, someone I would have thought should know the actual cause of the fire. The fire service have no reason to lie about the cause of a fire.

The authorities lie all the time to cover things, look at what the fire service, the constructors and the council covered up about the Grenfell fire disaster. Then the water company's covering up the amount of sewage they have discharged into the UK rivers and the sea's for years. It goes on all ...

...the time. It is a fact diesel does not explode. I only wish I could post the video. The bottom of an EV is like an unexploded bomb.

Many Insurance companies in the Uk are withdrawing insurance cover for EV's and the ones that still do have doubled or trebled the price for insurance.

This is why we are constantly having public enquiries because of cover-ups and lies.

Hi Purplelady

   so the great authority you refer to is a pick up driver, whether male or female is really irrelevant.

  Personally I prefer to believe the version from the Bedfordshire Chief Fire Officer, someone who has people working for him that are professionals in determining the cause of fires. Still that's just my opinion.

Yesterday on the lunchtime news they spoke with a young guy whose electric scooter had exploded when on charge, the whole house caught fire. He lost his wife, son, daughter and their 2 dogs and he had multible burns all over his body. Then they showed a motorbike exploding 2 weeks ago in Yorkshir...

...e and a demonstration of what happens when a small battery for an electric scooter explodes, so imagine the huge battery that is in the floor of a car.

They then visited a burns unit in a London hospital and the nurse said they are dealing with many similar cases every week. she also said often not only do the patients have to deal with their injuries, but often they have nowhere to go when they are discharged to, when it also involves their home.

EV's are not the panacea that they claim to be. They are clearly dangerous and lives will be lost. I'm not parking my car anywhere near one.

The car was electric. Diesel does not explode, it wasn't just a fire, of course the authority's don't want anyone to know it was an EV. So far this year 12 EV cars have done just that. Lithium is very votatile, diesel is not. That's another reason why there are rules when flying about batteries i...

I have a video of when it exploded, part the of the upper floor above where you drive in on the right exploded and collapsed. Diesel takes intense pressure or a sustained flame to ignite. Try to burn diesel with a match and it goes out.

A fire would not have caused the upper floor to collaspe in the manner it did.

As for the lady I'm surprised anyone still has a paper copy license. I'm on my second new card type license. Best to stay up to date with the rules and regulations.
