They dunk burning Teslas into dumpsters full of water. Not sure what you do for a bus?

Just think of how toxic these chemicals are when these EV batteries catch on fire - spewing all these toxins into the air. Environmentalism is the biggest scam. These are people who have rejected God and chosen worship of the Earth as their religion. And it is a religion! They don’t care that EV batteries are more toxic and create more environmental destruction than normal cars.... it’s all about pushing their religion no matter the cost.

How much pollutants were emitted by the fire? Is it still worth it going electric?

Hopefully they jump off quick!
Not sure if these have sensors on the battery pack to alert the operator.

All sorts of cities used to have Electric Buses.

They had smaller [lead-acid] batteries though.
