    The only chart where Italy clearly outperforms neighbouring countries! 🍕 A side note for any European who wants to feel superior: the Italian minister of infrastructures has declared recently, speaking about a deadly bus accident which had strongly shocked public opinion, that the vehicle being electric can not be ruled out as a cause for the event, implying that endothermic engines are still preferable (source).

      The bus being electric, means the firefighting procedure is the same as with electric cars: wait for it to burn up… along with anyone still trapped inside.

      Electric is the future, but don’t forget that:

      • Gasoline ignites at -40C, needs oxygen
      • Diesel ignites at +50C, needs oxygen
      • Biodiesel ignites at +130C, needs oxygen
      • LiPo batteries can ignite at -200C if punctured, will burn underwater
