Makes me glad I drive a nice safe petrol car.


There is a nice big pack of info on the Toyota site detailing all the
precautions that first response emergency personnel should take.
Basically the main hazard is electric shock as they run at several
hundred volts.


How much???????


Friend of a friend was talking about them in a pub
(so take with a pinch of salt, etc)...
IIRC, something like 270V.
Apparently, 140V is used by other dual fuel vehicles.
