ACT Branch meeting

Dec. 16, 2024

Denman Village Community Centre
5 Felstead Vista
Denman Prospect, ACT 2611


Description

This month's talk by Bjorn Siem addresses the common misconception that EVs are more fire prone. It explores reasons why and includes real world examples as well as actual fire reporting and lessons learned from conversations with the Norwegian fire service. 

The talk aims to set the record straight on EV fire risk and to arm attendees with information to counter perceptions on the topic.

As a wise man once said - in matters of importance we need to listen to people with experience, not opinions.
