Road vehicle fires.

electric cars use a converter that draws current from the large battery pack, topping it up. In some cars, a small solar panel can also be used to add a trickle charge to the 12-volt battery. Also, when an EV is plugged into a wall socket or fast charger, the 12-volt battery is usually charging at the same time.

"'The car park that caught fire at Luton Airport will have to be "fully demolished", the airport confirmed.

The fire broke out on level three of Terminal Car Park 2 on 10 October and was thought to have started in a diesel car before spreading rapidly."

It's telling, that they (the media) are still saying "thought to have started in a diesel car". Surely someone must know for certain, and why are they not being specific ?

Also, I've not seen anything else regarding the man arrested (and released on Police bail) in regard to criminal damage.

Might it be due process/diligence, whereby the investigating authority will conduct a full, objective and evidence based review before reaching any conclusions or making any recommendations?

Yes, of course Ray.

But, in that case, why make any comment at all ?

You reported conjecture in the media.

You reported conjecture in the media.

It was not aimed at you Ray, just official news sources.

I know Phil, but you miss the point I was making - as far as I'm aware there has not been any concluson released by the official investigators, so the comments you were lamenting are just media conjecture - they do it to fill column inches.
