E-Car Story

 RBB carried an interesting story this morning....over a vehicle fire.

Yesterday....firemen got called out to a dealership....over a car-fire. What they describe is a E-car dealership.....in Berlin-Köpenick.

One car?  No....in the end....four E-cars were burning.

So the firemen lay out this issue of dealing with a E-car fire....mainly that it could take up to four hours to ensure the fire is out, and the site is safe.....way more than way regular cars required.

But there's other odd part of the story.  They also admit that they had to flip cars over....to get to the batteries.  Basically.....destroying the vehicle.

No one says much, but it would appear to me....in cities like Hamburg or Berlin.....you'd have to enlarge the fire departments in the coming years because of the E-car man-hours to put out a fire.

Having said that i would assume the future Tesla Giga Factory in/near Berlin will need its own fire department...
