Yet another reason why busses are stupid as fuck to make electric. Archive: https://archive.today/ykw8j From the post: >>An electric London bus burst into flames on the hottest June day ever recorded. Twenty-five firefighters rushed to the bus depot in Westbourne Park in west London last night at around 6.23pm, as a No 23 bus and two electric vehicle charging points were destroyed by a fire. Footage shared on social media showed security guards telling people to stay back, as fire crews battled to get the blaze under control. A large section of the bus depot later appeared to be in flames, a short distance away from train tracks. Smoke billowing from the depot was visible for miles, including from Lord's cricket ground, where England's women were playing against the West Indies in the T20 World Cup.
