When ever I get to talk to a long bearded guy, I notice that they all tell the same story: "I have have a friend who's Tesla went up in flames, and he barely made it out alive. " They must all know the same guy! 😂 #Tesla#CarFires#EVFires

The crews bracing themselves for a rise in electric car fires www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...#EVfires#roadsafety#datagap

What exactly this means for fire services is unclear, however - not least because of the paucity of available data. When the BBC asked every fire service in the UK how many EV fires they had dealt with in the past three years, none could provide a reliable answer because they do not distinguish them from other types of vehicle fires. Instead, some fire services, such as those in Norfolk, Essex, Surrey, Derbyshire and Kent, ran text searches for any reference to the word "electric" in their vehicle fire records. The results of those text searches show there were 59 electric vehicle fire references in 2022-23 across England - up from 30 the previous year. The true figure, says Mr Maher, is likely to be about double that.
