From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the ship full of EVs continues to burn out of control, deniers still try to protest that EVs are not to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Naturally it is far too early to know for certain exactly what caused the fire, the fact that battery fires quickly burn totally out of control is well established. It was this that created the catastrophe on the Freemantle Highway earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is utterly irrelevant exactly what started the fire. What is relevant is the fact that a ship full of EVs quickly becomes an inferno when a fire starts. A car ferry full of EVs, as opposed to a cargo ship like this, would quickly become a death trap once even a tiny fire had taken hold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If our denier friends still refuse to accept the facts, maybe they should take a look at this video:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fancy taking the Hull to Zeebrugge ferry full of EVs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
