Sounds like a milk float would suit?

Mitsui OSK Lines (MOL) has confirmed to vehicle importers in New Zealand that it has temporarily stopped accepting used electric vehicles on its ro ro vessels.
MOL recently lost the FELICITY ACE following a vessel fire. The cause of the fire has not yet been released, but the lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars onboard made the fire more difficult to extinguish. There is some concern in the EV industry that the risk of fire increases in used vehicles, where the batteries may have been subject to overcharging or other risk factors. The insurance level carried by the owner a used vehicle, as compared to a car manufacturer shipping new vehicles, also has to be considered.
In New Zealand, MOL has told vehicle importers that its decision had “nothing to do” with the FELICITY ACE incident. Rather MOL has decided to review its standards for accepting used vehicles.
Some 45% of all vehicles imported into New Zealand are used cars from Japan. Carries have developed inspection procedures and requirements for used ICE vehicles, but these are mostly focused on biosecurity risks, fluid leaks and basic mechanical performance so the vehicle can be driven on and off the ship. The procedures were never designed with EVs in mind.
How would we define unnecessary ? - and how would we "structure" society in order to eliminate the unnecessary travel?Carlton green wrote: ↑1 Apr 2023, 9:36pm
If we were serious about being green we’d structure society such that unnecessary travel - which seems to be the majority of it - stopped happening.
Encourage homeworking. My daughter has been working from home since the start of lockdown. She can do her job perfectly well without having to go into the office, but has now been told she must be in the office for 40% of her time. No real reason for this, she doesn’t work with any of her office co-workers, her team is spread around the country, so contact is by phone and email.ANTONISH wrote: ↑28 Jul 2023, 9:35amHow would we define unnecessary ? - and how would we "structure" society in order to eliminate the unnecessary travel?Carlton green wrote: ↑1 Apr 2023, 9:36pm

This isn't correct. And it was shown not to be in a recent discussion in the BEVs thread.
