On Saturday morning, during the heatwave that swept the East Coast, a new electrically powered public transportation bus caught on fire as it sat in the bus parking lot, according to fire officials.

The Hamden Fire Department was dispatched to the CT Transit bus depot in order to extinguish the fire that had spread throughout the electric bus.

According to the authorities, the lithium-ion battery was responsible for the fire that broke out on the electric bus.

“Lithium-ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish due to the thermal chemical process that produces great heat and continually reignites,” the fire officials said in a statement. “Exposures were protected at the scene.”

So in the areas where Sunshine is plentiful electric buses are too dangerous to us e cause th batteries will burst into flames.

Gotcha.

If these buses burst into flames in a heatwave, I wonder what they will do when it’s below zero in the winter.

Putting additional stress on the power-grid. What can go wrong?

ROTFLMFAO!!!
Too bad the so-called “governor” wasn’t on board and in the back of it.
Constitution State? My arse, on it’s worse day after a heavy beans & hotdog meal, is more “constitutional”.

There goes its low carbon footprint.

[Billthedrill]

Hmm...For Sale: pre-owned bus. Some wear and tear, could use a coat of paint...

“There goes its low carbon footprint.”

Fossil fueled, not EV.
