Salt water fueled battery
Salt water torpeado battery I used/ fired worked very well. Still in use. Not the Bottom of the ocean. About 10 metres down when cruising fast was cool.
still in use now via ones like V616: Seawater-activated battery for A244 torpedoes
It is "Magnesium-silver chloride " as were my ships torpeado battery a long time ago
Telsa can be hot Burns the battery of Tesla Model S, serious difficulties in "taming" the flames of the electric car
That battery fires can be a PITA is not a surprise of course. Big pond fuel oil fires I trained with were amazingly hard to put out without AFFF. That is of course now known to be very carcinogenic
Back to the car
When I was a kids I think I recall some being very anti Ford, Holden, Toyota......Even Landrovers get the odd shellacking.
Driving a quirky Chinese EV MG XS happened mostly as I knew I was going to do a lot of miles helping chemotherapy. It clearly not a 4wd long range 4wd beast
For what it is I like it. More comfortable in many ways than many of the cars I have owned. Clearly cheaper to run than my Disco IF notes limitations are excused
"Chinese EVs from Xpeng, BYD, and MG are common sights on the streets of Oslo, Norway.This article comes to us courtesy of EVANNEX, which makes and sells aftermarket Tesla accessories.

We find the company's perspective as an aftermarket supplier of Tesla accessories interesting and are happy to share its content free of charge. Enjoy!Posted on EVANNEX on January 31, 2023, by Charles MorrisChinese electric vehicles are making their way into European markets at large. Xpeng announced its first deliveries to Norway in October 2020. Around the same time, John Voelcker, a seasoned auto reviewer, drove the company’s P7 electric sedan, and pronounced it pretty darn good—it had “perhaps 75 percent of the features and capability of a Tesla,” and at the time, carried about 50 percent of the price tag. (That may no longer be the case, thanks to Tesla’s recent price cuts, but the Chinese brands’ prices are still tempting.)"
Not sure china will take over the car world.
Things do change rather fast in the car industry here of course. It may be all about the money for some. Quality, capability and longevity are keys attributes I think may see this all turn on its head again inside a few years.
"Too early and too risky": Toyota confirms go-slow on electric vehicles in Australia
Only Toyota vehicles welcome to use their chargers - Oh What a Feeling

"See: Toyota faces disaster unless new CEO performs miracle pivot to electric vehicles"
was the bottom line Almost funny when you put it that way.
Dealers with chargers are bit common here. None share access and none have after hours for those they allow to use them
Back to toyota link
Below the graph is
"What these numbers reflect is that technology shifts don’t happen in a linear fashion and that once certain market thresholds are reached, growth can accelerate dramatically. In the case of Germany and the UK, EV share was below 5% for ten years but once that share reached 5-10%, it then grew rapidly to a 33% in just 2 years."
Australia at 5% is a few years from that statistic possibly.
Check the Science thread for an almost impossible amazing recycling option for almost everything to ethanol and much more .
I personally find this more than interesting as "Ethanol has five times higher volumetric energy density (6.7 kWh/L) than hydrogen (1.3 kWh/L) and can be used safely in fuel cells for power generation."
A direct swap for all petrol stations perhaps?
I missed that the good ship Toyota was going to have a new skipper.
Yes I have already referenced technology adaption trends- Technology adoption life cycle - Wikipedia
On the numbers Australia is barely at 3%
And to think Holden went E85 but the industry stuck with E10. https://www.drive.com.au/news/2011-h...compatibility/
