And the CO2 and other stuff when they catch fire :-)

Apparently some EU countries have special mobile tanks to
dump an entire Tesla car into and flood it, because those
Lithium batteries are sods to put out after a vehicle fire.


water of course makes it worse.



And a full tank of petrol is safe as houses? ;-)


Having had a full tank of petrol fall off a car (rust around the tank) I
don't think its very dangerous.
I left the car with the tank under it still attached by the fuel line to
phone the AA.
When I got back someone had chucked three fag ends in the petrol on the
ground.


Does that come under the heading of every electric vehicle involved in an
accident will burst into flames, but petrol cars never do?
