    EV's in the US totaled 308,000 in 2020 and I couldn't find specific data on EV fires in 2020, but based on what I can see, yes, EV's are far less of a fire risk that ICE vehicles.

    Sorry for the previous post, I just like to have all the relevant data when a topic is discussed - I wasn't having a go at you personally.

    Edit - just found this - basically all the data I wanted in one article. Study: Electric Vehicles Involved in Fewest Car Fires - Kelley Blue Book

    Interestingly it's the Hybrids that are the most likely to go up in smoke.
    Not sure sorry. I do have a mild distrust of my EV battery especially with the WLTP range guide which are rubbish+ The car,bus and hover board fires with batteries or Geelong do highlight the risk very clearly IF they do catch fire.

    Bugger - that's one I know all too well - still wearing a knee brace every day since a fall and having that diagnosed - didn't require surgery thankfully but has been a slow recovery. I'd love to say it's stopped me doing a Marathon, but those that know me would be laughing uncontrollably at that thought... Trying to drop some more Kg's to make life easier on my knees long term - I've shed more than 30Kg so far, but have another 20 to go.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Great Effort. Keep on going is my mantra MRI is cool. It rocks my groin and tibia honestly. My Titanium did feel it. Physio booked and deferral till next year asked for.

    On EV again so I am not a complete PITA. I get excited easily as noted by my MRI this arvo. Great Wall is prototyping a hydrogen EV

    The third biggest in China and claims it will be a luxury and almost certainly will be big as little point in a micro car Will it be a 4wd? God I hope so. the yarn link

    Appreciate hydrogen in not fuel station available yet!

    Toyotas Hydrogen fuel cell is pretty much ready to go in vehicles - they have also prototyped a hydrogen generator recently but it’s a bit before it’s time given the lack of infrastructure but that will change in the coming years.

    Fairly sure Landrover will not be that far behind

    This video summarises what GM are doing with their new Ultium battery.
    If it all pans out thye should become a potent competitor to Tesla and be a big step towards EVs being a practical proposition.

    Not much info in the video apart from them pumping up their own tyres, but if they do what they say, then it could be very interesting. It's only been a matter of time before one of the global giants met then outpaced Tesla at this. Hopefully they are close to mass production and not just talking it up when it's in its infancy still. The video is after all made by GM - it could all be marketing pie in the sky to try and get investors to stuff some money in their coffers - I wouldn't trust GM as far as I could thrown them.

    "ALL-ELECTRIC LAND ROVERS FROM 2024

    From 2024 you will be able to choose from the first of six new all-electric Land Rovers. This is a significant step in our vision to dramatically reduce pollution and achieve a truly sustainable future. LINK

    You have to be care as the marketing department and many experts routinely mix BEV and
    Hybrid as electric

    In the UK Hybrid are not to be sold after 2035 as the current studies show that in real world use they are more polluting than diesel. This being due to the small engines that end up doing most of the driving as the battery range is so small. They are though seen as a tool to make people comfortable with the concept of electric power
