Damaged electric cars ‘quarantined’ over fears they will explode..... Electric cars that sustain minor bumps are being kept 15 meters apart in repair yards over fears they might explode, adding to insurance bills. Government guidelines recommend electric vehicles with damaged batteries should be “quarantined” from other vehicles due to the risk of battery fires. Damaged batteries pose a risk of “thermal runaway” where the energy stored in the battery releases rapidly, creating temperatures of up to 400C.
But the practice threatens to increase costs for the insurance industry by more than £600m, costs which ultimately could be passed onto drivers in increased premiums, according to a report by automotive risk firm Thatcham Research. It said insurers would need to spend an additional £900m a year on quarantine facilities for damaged cars as a result of the safety measures by 2035, as more battery-powered vehicles take to the roads. The extra costs risk adding £20 a year onto all car insurance premiums, rising to £28 by 2050 when there are expected to be some 360,000 electric cars on the road network.

They don't mention Africa splitting in two on the video and it does not prove me wrong it proves me right. Increased temperature differentials cause the effect to be more likely and therefore more frequent. And you are getting Climate change and Tectonic plate movement muddled. One is about the atmosphere (Hint "Climate") The other is about the movement of Magma 100 miles under the earths crust and in 10,000 years, which doesn't have a great deal of effect on the climate at the moment. Maybe stick to discussing high performance cars? It proves you wrong....And where did I state that it was on the video about Africa splitting? I don't need an ECO zealot to explain anything to me about the climate or the weather thanks all the same.....Good to see your hero bumburgh has been arested isn't it? No. It proves you wrong. As for understanding climate change, I don't think you do or you wouldn't randomly put in something about Africa splitting in half in 10,000 years. Though I do agree that you would prefer not to have it explained to you. |

Sanity may be returning to UK... UK planning to drop £11.6bn climate pledge, says leaked note
They've destroyed theeconomy so now they have no choice but to destroy the environment. What a shambles. 13 years of austerity where's all the money they saved. It looks like one of those attention seeking bump threads. Nevermind, I figured as much. |

Clearly ignorant to the FACTS... Certainly not. I now know Africa might split in half in 10,000 years. |
