I wonder how they extinguished the fire in only 23 minutes. My impression from reading about electric vehicle fires is that they take hours to extinguish.

Fairly new Mitsubishi hybrid hooked up to it at the time, also damaged another city car next to it. A number of these things across the city have not been working properly. $60,000 each.

If you know what you are doing and apply certain tactics…….

Maybe the battery was not on fire.

From the looks of it good thing this didn’t happen inside the building. Also, even at that time of night this box is a long run for all companies. Even with 167/87 having a straight run up Richmond Avenue.

Was this Mitsubishi another City car hooked up last night also ?

Good job by the city putting their own employees in danger with this electric or hybrid garbage. Imagine this being in your garage or next to your home.
