I was aware of another one since the 8 which was last year.. A vehicle reportedly charging (not tesla) on the GoldCoast which will be the first one in Aus if true. [bigsad] Looking at the shape of the wreck was not Tesla.Quote:

8 in total as at Nov 2024. 1 Arson, three housefires, three high speed collision, 1 unknown.
Will be interesting to see the next update.

We must keep this in context though. If my defender catches fire under my house my house is gone. I don't buy this "mild" fire stuff. All vehicle fires are serious.

In comparison, Fire and Rescue NSW responded to 2803 fires involving petrol and diesel vehicles in 2022-2023 alone.
Boat's a vehicle, right?

Everyone that isn't a net zero luny. This is common knowledge, there isn't enough copper, nickle, lithium, cobalt etc .... being mined in the world to even come remotely close to any of the insane (completely nuts.... impossible as anyone with even the tiniest brain can easily see) claims. Just look at the UK if you want too see peak stupidity in action.Quote:

ridiculous windmills .... that burn and only work spardically are incredibly maitinance hungry .... also require staggering amounts of concrete (the biggest greenhouse emmisions we have), endless metal, copper etc.....

just insane ... tiny lifespan ... they are everywhere around me. I rarely see them turning. I'm guessing they are mostly switched off or broken.
solar panels .... yeah, last about 15years, hail, wind, fire .... everything can damage them. Fortunately they can create power 24 hours a day and don't contain toxic chemicals ..... Oh hang on ... yes they do [bighmmm]
The amount of coal and mined materials we ship to china to built all of this throw away insanity doesn't cost a thing to the environment [tonguewink]
Everything about this net zero insanity is just mind numbingly ridiculous and stupid. blind freddy can see its just about giving tax payers money to whatever the latest goverment mates are. How many hundred million of tax payer money should we gift to the next lot to "maybe" build some car chargers .... maybe.
Its all so ridiculous. At least we are rushing madly to the cliff like the UK. That place sounds to have turned into a hell hole. Electric boats anyone (is there anything dumber in the universe). The only thing I can think of more dangerous than a ship fire .... is putting tons (litteraly tons) of lithium battery on a boat ... and sending off onto the water.

How do you feel about Australias fuel security? A few calculations suggests that my Defender in its 200,000km.. I've used about 24,000 litres of diesel. Which I think is quite a bit.
Of great concern to me is we import a lot of fuel from India these days, much of it is made from Russian oil which is funding the war in ukraine.
Meanwhile the EV is at worst charged using good old Queensland coal, mined (relatively) locally and "refined" into power really quite locally. Good Aussie electricity, if not my roof top solar. No oil dug up and sent around the world in shaddow fleet tankers to be refined in a foreign country and shipped here. IMHO this is a big plus for EV's.
