Where is your evidence for that? There is no indication at all in the article that hints at the battery being the cause. Given the car we know it's not a phev, so the battery would have been at rest. Toyota would have a mighty big recall if all their hybrid batteries start spontaneously combusting when parked. I suspect you think it's the battery that caused it because of your cognitive bias about battery fires.Quote:

Crikey, you lot carry on.
An EV i just another type of car, you choose the type of ICE car that suits your needs, ranging from smaller engined vehicles for around town to larger for interstate cruising, diesel vs petrol dependent on your needs. Same with one EV compared to another EV brand or EV compared to ICE.
If an EV does not suit your need dont buy one, if it does then buy one but stop carrying on.
You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. Forget the fact it is a car, the worry is the fact it is a mobile giant battery :)Quote:

Shouldn’t be, but the reasons for it definitely is.Quote:

IIRC the only countries without NVES besides Australia are Russia and Nth Korea, I'd much rather be in the other club.
