And let's not forget all the highly toxic fumes from the burning plastics used in modern vehicles.
Do you let petrol and diesel car / truck fires burn, and stand by and watch the inhabitants die? |
Problem is the Electric Batteries if burnt are 100% fatal to any firefighter that does breathe those fumes. In big cities the Fire And Rescue truck all carry breathing gear. But Bush Fire Brigades do not. narest brigade with breathing gear to us is 20 minutes away. And we would be sent to any local car accident first. Then need to call for backup with breathing gear.
Hence my point is electric cars may be okay for in the city, but not in the country rural areas.
