I saw in one of the news reports that water does not extinguish the battery fires
It's a chemical system anyhow. It has to be due to all the magnesium components in there. It's a zoned dry-chemical suppression system.
Thats better than a water tank on the roof!
I also like the Audi e-tron GT - except the wheels. I should see if it can be ordered with better wheels.
It basically is a dry powder under pressure that sucks the oxygen out of the area. Think of it like a giant fire extinguisher.
I insure many millions of dollars worth of cars. They really, really don't want to replace my collection. So, I have to have a fire suppression system that meets their standards and is certified. Otherwise, I'm not sure that they'd insure them, or it'd be really fucking expensive. They're not just insured when I drive them, they're insured at rest in storage.
