AKA the establishment. .

No it's not, you made it boring for yourself by reading it. It is optional . .

Suspected ! :D You just can't stop Andy, it's an obsession with you. I'm surprised you don't give up and quit living with all these scary battery risks that you see. "there’s no such thing as too much insurance." Rubbish. I don't insure anything outside of what I have to, car and building...

Sorry Andy, but this is scaremongering, and there's far too much of it, all out of proportion to the actual risk. There are literally many millions of pedelecs in Germany and The Netherlands with their batteries almost certainly being charged in their houses, just as I've always done. Long ago...

But the countryside had different rules. I haven't drunk alcohol in many decades, but when very much younger I would occasionally have an odd beer in company. One hot day driving in Norfolk with a friend, I pulled into a country pub at a bit gone 2 pm and when we walked in it was empty. The...

Actually not even a lot of money, he's teamed with Jeff Bezos, Amazon's boss and the world's richest man. .

I don't know, but the need for low weight with high performance for all aircraft parts, especially in the 787 designed for minimum weight, indicates high density, Tesla style. Leaf style low density would be too bulky. .

Apologies for what is of necessity a long answer: Indeed Andy, and I like this comment from Autocar magazine: Purveyors of pure-electric cars have learned many lessons since they started selling in earnest and one of the biggest has been the unexpectedly strong buyer appeal of the silence...

Elon Musk is a risk taker in the "Nothing ventured, nothing gained " mould. That's why his reusable commercial spaceship is now restocking the international space station for NASA and is ready to take new crews there. Of course ok when it's his risk, not so nice when it's the customer's I'd...

Unfortunately the removed ones get buried just west of the Rockies, cheap decommissioning. .

The USA used to have some states below 16, the last to change being Georgia from 14 up to 16. Now the various states have it from 16 to 18. However there are laws to protect the couples who married legally when they visit higher age states. The age of consent is 16 here, but in Europe...

You've brought all of it on yourself Andy, remember your appalling first response to one of my posts when you first joined. You accused me of being young and ignorant, conned by politicians and knowing nothing about the subject, which was e-cars. You could not have been more wrong. I was older...

Exactly, so the lithium powerwalls are very safe. But as I've pointed out before, with the batteries underslung amidships now and crumple zones front and rear, this is largely theory only now. You are missing a treat, at least book a couple of test drives to see the extent of what you are...

Tesla originally used proprietary 18640 cells, later 22700 cells, and these are all high density cells like those in our e-bikes. They also used large numbers of them, 6200 cells in one model. As we know, they can catch fire when they suffer too much stress, especially if the manufacturing...

EV battery fires are not a serious problem, see this link. And there were over 50,000 home powerwalls already installed by July 2019 using these Tesla car batteries in solar panel and grid installations with no news about fires. Just as with every new technology, there's far too much...

It's what Andy-Mat seems to like doing if others do not agree with his stranger notions, especially about batteries and e-cars. .

General Motors, Nissan and Tesla have published a guide for firefighters and first responders to properly handle a crashed electric-drive vehicle and safely disable its battery and other high voltage systems. These fires are extremely rare and the very few that occur are almost entirely in...

And very notably Israel. All three are far too willing to use their armed forces and secret services anywhere in the world to launch illegal attacks. .
