Lucky it wasn't surrounded by more leccy vehicles. Would have been far worse.

I might be wrong but, don't think the cause has been reported nor what was surrounding it.

When a petrol car catches fire people don’t react. But when an EV cooks off it’s a scandal

BBC reports that the fire was started by a diesel car.
Fire chief Andy Hopkinson says it is thought the fire started with a diesel car, and then spread through the car park.
He said up to 1,500 vehicles could have been in the car park, which has a capacity of 1,900, at the time of the fire.

Looks like the R-ingers are rong - again.
Fossil fuel cars 20 times more likely to catch fire than ev. Proportionally.
Petrol and diesel cars 20 times more likely to catch fire than EVs
Despite the common fear campaigns around EVs catching fire, the data says that petrol and diesel cars are far more likely to catch fire than EVs.

Yep. 100% the petrol in your car ignites and combusts when you introduce a source of ignition to it i.e . A spark from the spark plug. It’s how they work.

lets not let facts ruin a good thread

I know electric batteries can and do burn well, but can they be ignited by flames and or heat, or can they only burst into flames due to short circuits?
I'm thinking they would catch fire in a fire but not certain.
The fire boys and girls are **** hot at finding the exact origin of any fire. If this one had a big steel lump under where the bonnnet was, it's an ICE vehicle.I bet a pound of your tomotoes to a pinch o' pepper he's right.

I wonder if it was a Zafira if it was an ICE car that caused it. They burst into flames because of an ELECTRICAL fault.
When he says it is thought it means his guys have identified the source of the fire, it’s how they work
