I saw a claim yesterday that General Motors had said you should never park an electric car within fifty feet of anything you treasure.

dearieme - ha ha, sounds like a sarcastic dig at General Motors and the electric car game, although I bet they are not allowed near certain sensitive areas.

Think the message is quite clear for the sane ... avoid battery powered like the plague.

A K Haart said...

James - we certainly do, it isn't only the price.

If the boat has (had?) a lithium battery, spraying water won't put the fire out, as they still burn under water. Can only assume they're trying to stop the wooden frame from burning.

Penseivat - in a later video, the chap says that they were mainly trying to cool it down and stop the fire spreading. He also says that the boat was sunk then it came back up again and reignited.
