Anglesey Circuit has banned all EVs/Hybrids from trackdays

Presumably due to the 'potential' issues from crashing a car with fairly large / very large Lithium ion batteries and the possible fire risk etc etc.

Makes sense you don’t want Marshalls / rescue crews getting zapped to death by a smashed up EV.

But surely at Anglesey you'd just use the tractor to push it into the sea?

so no P1's, La Ferraris or Porsche 918 then?

So its no problem if you have an accident on a motorway then ????

The fire and rescue services have training and equipment for EVs.

I don't know the economics of owning and running a track, but I imagine the margin's are pretty tight for a track like Anglesey. It wouldn't be a surprise if this was based on the cost of gearing up for an EV fire. A few years from now they may decide they have no choice, but for now there are enough ICE cars wanting to attend track days for them to kick the EV problem down the road.

Sometimes...

If it has a EV style chargeable battery of any kind it may take longer to extinguish a fire as another poster has stated.

Yes, I see the logic behind the ban. Just that most people would probably not describe, for example, a current basic petrol BMW X3 as a hybrid, even BMW don't make a thing of it - but they do have battery assistance. That's why I can see scope for argument about which vehicles are banned. Especially as the circuit website doesn't seem to mention this.

This is just the start….garages, body shops, car parks (especially the ones underneath housing/flats etc) anywhere where EVs are parked, stored or worked upon will have insurance and safety issues based on the fact that at present no fire extinguisher or sprinkler system can put a single EV fire out let alone numerous amounts of them.
