50,000 gallons.That’s how much water it took to extinguish the Tesla Semi that caught fire on a California highway last month, according to investigators. That’s the equivalent of one of those carbon-bolted steel tanks used in irrigation or wastewater. And its certainly a lot more than the 500 gallons that was needed to put out a Model S fire in 2018.
EV battery fires are such a concern that the Department of Transportation convened a whole-ass panel about it last month.
What’s the purpose of putting out the fire? Are there structures near by, are there forests near by? Seems to me it would burn out by it self. Now that you have 50,000 gallons of polluted water NOW WHAT
Yes, it was in a forested area.
