With reference to Freemantle Highway .. Who would feel safe on a ferry carrying a substantial number of EV`S?
I wonder how the underwriters are looking at this and what the ferry Companies policies are.
Whatever caused the fire the fact is that when one of these batteries starts to disassemble it`s a Gas Axe that produces its own oxygen and can not be extinguished in the conventional manner of suffocation.
Channel Tunnel also springs to mind.
Should we be alarmed?
Chris
Edit. sadly a crew member lost their life and others may have life changing circumstances ahead inhaling the toxic gasses these batteries emit when disassembling. I have just contacted Brittany ferries and stated we feel concerned about our safety for next years trip to Spain in view of the F.H. tragedy and asked the question if they allow EV`s on board.

Re: ferry travel
Hi Al, No surprise there. Brittany ferries have replied to my enquiry about their policy on EV`s They state " due to high demand ( lack of human interface) we will respond within 5 weeks. Glad i am not embarking any time soon.

Re: ferry travel
Chris,
When we went out to France at the end of May with Brittany Ferries, one of the questions at check in was, is the car a hybrid or fully electric, as we were neither do not know what would have happened if it had been. But it obviously is something they are looking at.
