  1. Careful, MGUY. Non-EV buses can burn just as violently. Just ask Transperth WA, who had at least 14 non-EV buses in their fleet of 474 Mercedes buses destroyed by spontaneous fire. They had a marked habit of burning out completely within minutes, usually totally destroyed long before the fire brigade could get there. London's experience of 3 buses out of 380 catching fire is pretty bad and not acceptable, but actually looks pretty good compared to Transperth's non-EV fleet. And, yes, non-EV buses DO burn just as spectacularly as EV buses, because, unlike cars, bus bodies are made of aluminium. Once started, aluminium burns really good.
