Putting aside the whole discussion of sustainability of EVs and how “green” they really are, the firefighters in Queensland (and I would imagine throughout Australia) have issues with fires that are caused by ignited batteries – apparently they are not that easy to put out, and emit harmful smoke. Additionally, electrical scooters are sometimes charged inside the units, and are known to catch fire – a concern that we have heard from unit owners many times now. The safety and insurance claims arising from such fires must be also addressed.
