Guided By Fear Of The Unknown — Ship Ablaze, The BEV Has Done It
Guided by fear of the unknown, the news about a ship ablaze is that the BEV aboard is the cause or likely cause. And only better news sources are not convinced that the BEV must be the cause.
There is a suspicion that transporting electric cars is riskier than transporting ICE vehicles, mainly because battery fires are much harder to control than gasoline fires. Originally, it was reported that about 25 of the 2,800 cars were BEVs. And that the battery of one of those must be the culprit because … batteries are scary. But we do not know what is the cause of the fire. It could have been lightning, for all we know. Or anything else that can set a ship ablaze.
Update: Now it’s been revealed that more cars were onboard and a larger contingent of them were BEVs. The Fremantle Highway had 3,285 ICE vehicles onboard and 498 battery electric vehicles. That makes the chance that it was a BEV that caused the fire a whopping 1.3%. That is, unless the cause was not the spontaneous combustion of one of the vehicles in the cargo, something most likely.
