Eight appliances involved and a platform ladder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted Wednesday at 09:48 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:48 AM Was told the refs box was on fire But you never know how true reports are If that's right about the battery storage place that's the 3rd time and everyone is pushing electric cars Lithium ion batteries are good but very very dangerous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah lithium ion battery fires are incredibly hot and very difficult to extinguish I believe. Personally I have not got much interest in electric cars. Need to get moving on Hydrogen and Biofuels me thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately on the fuel, but always thought it wasn't beyond the ability of manufacturers to get around 100mpg and 150bhp with extremely low co out of a 1.0litre petrol engine without the ecological disaster of getting the lithium for electric cars. Still think the way it should of gone first, no one wants second hand electric cars and disposal is a nightmare. Anyway hope alls well at the track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCB have been working on hydrogen engines for their diggers since at least 2020. Remember watching a YouTube video on this, seem to remember the intention was for the smaller less intensively used diggers to be electrified while the bigger more intensively used would be hydrogen powered.
