    Rare fires but different from diesel or gas busses.

    And in the same week I saw 2 or 3 videos of diesel fires on school, busses. One just down the road.

    And a few on boats not caused by external forces.

    I notice my wish list 85 foot Flemming yacht now has 6 huge LION batteries. Solar too. Now if I win the mega-million. $1.1B but really about $250 million.
