Re: Petrol & diesel vehicles ban (2040).

A BLAZING Tesla has sparked electric car safety fears after firefighters battled to extinguish the inferno.

The Model S was engulfed in flames after its 19-year-old driver crashed into a concrete barrier in Austria.

And fire crews struggled to put out the billowing flames caused by the lithium-ion batteries.

Toxic gases released by the burning power packs meant firefighters had to wear special breathing kit to tackle the blaze.

And while the driver made it out safely, it took five fire engines and 35 crew members to finally get the fire under control.

The terrifying video shows huge plumes of smoke erupting around the wrecked £50,000 plug-in car as the battery is cooled.

And you thought a petrol tank was dangerous.
