MUMBAI (Reuters) – A fire that started at an electric scooter showroom in India killed at least eight people and injured 11 in the deadliest incident involving electric vehicles in the country.
Here’s the fire:

It seems that EVs need to be stored in a fireproof space.
India has epically bad A/C.
Yes, but if these scooters saved just one tree...
I wonder how long it will be until the insurance companies refuse to insure them?......Can’t get loans without insurance, can’t renew plates without insurance, can’t drive them without insurance............maybe that’s the plan, only rich folks on the road................
Were they the 12 volt?
Tragic, in any event.
BUT, Indias carbon footprint is down from a size 11 to a 10 thanks to these scooters!
The future is going to be fun. I have seen 3 tesla fires in the last year, 2 just last week. Nothing like having exploding E trinkets everywhere, especially a scooter in your house.
Eventually they will be uninsurable.
Auto insurance companies will get tired of paying off burnt car loans.
Even HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE COMPANIES will cancel your policy if you own one of these and park it at your house!..................
The whole point is to force everyone to ride mass transportation, and eat bugs.
Many of those bikes appear to have exhaust systems. Are they hybrids?
Ticking Time-bombs
DEevolution.....................
Are we not men?
The batteries in the charging station will charge-up during off-peak hours in order to save money.
I don’t think so. The dealership probably sold both gas and electric...................🤷♂️
Not any more..........................Where’s my flower pot?................
Meanwhile in Connecticut, they pulled their fleet of electric buses after one just spontaneously combusted driving down the road.
I know New York City has had a rash of these things catch fire. Instead of just a simple fire turned into a big hazmat situation.
