As I said before.
Any JLR owner needs one of 2 things in their pockets at all times folks.
A tow rope or a bus pass

Maybe the 15m spacing rule should be extended to normal car parks?
Broken electric vehicles need 'quarantining', driving up costs
Electric car owners face soaring insurance and repair costs over fears the vehicles could explode (file photo of Tesla which caught fire on a road in the US in 2020) after minor collisions.www.dailymail.co.uk
No idea if EVs caused or made this fire worse but no doubt many were sadly destroyed as a result - so those African children down the cobalt mines better start putting in some extra shifts to get them replaced asap.
I run a car repair workshop - I'm struggling with insurance for dealing with PHEVS/EVS - no inside charging - spacing rules for damged EV's - level 4 training.
Plus the cost of invertors failing on customers cars out of warranty - is killing the job dead.
---------
I am an auto electrician by trade - as an independant - I ebraced the EV revolution early - but to be honest - it's not that good business wise. Apart from the increased tyre wear EV's suffer - but there is no money in selling sets of four's for low mileage cars to unhappy punters.
I am thinking about standing back from EV's - workshop wise! Punters think they run on air! And they just don't....

I would not - could not afford to run one - last decent LR product was a Freelander II.
Last LR product I owned myself was a late Disco 2 - 54plate TD5 - low mileage nearly new motor - was in my workshop more than my punters cars.

I don't know, we wouldn't even use the Daily Mail as mulch, who wants vegetables that argue about complete cobblers. Sorry, I just described the Daily Mail readership!

You would think that in a busy car park someone will have seen the fire at an early stage and be able to identify what it was.
Where are all the tiktok videos from all the onlookers standing next to the fire in the car park.

Gonna take more than a few fires to regenerate Luton.I think its just phase 1 of the regeneration of Luton, start at the top of the hill and burn it all down, you know like those wildlife fires when you get all the pretty flowers pop up out of the ashes?
See if Vlad's got some stuff spare.

What a total blot on the landscape they have been. WOW. It must be upsetting a few people on the Islands and mainland. And whats up just now is just the start.
It's about 70 miles offshore I think and will bring good engineering work to the UK and produce oil to the highest safety and environmental standards in the world. We all need oil and will do for decades, so let's do it properly.

I seriously considered going down ev repair route after employment.
Didn't take long to realise it's not viable.
