Net Zero: A plan to build an underground bus station beneath a development of thousands of new flats has caused outrage amongst residents of Barnet, London, who say there would be a āsevere riskā of a āvolcanoā of fire should one of the busesā batteries explodeĀ
The plans outline homes for 7,000 people as well as a rebuilt shopping centre to sit on top of the garage – a plan that could result in āGreenfell on steroids,ā campaigners at Save Our Edgware told the Telegraph.
In May 2022, an entire fleet of electric buses caused a blazing inferno in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, and in the same month, Paris withdrew 149 EVs after 2 blew up in separate incidents.Ā
