Fire teams attended a fire at 42 Fletcher Place at around 11:50 a.m. on
Sunday, in which the house’s garage was “fully involved,” causing it
extensive damage.

Regina Fire Services said the homeowner indicated that an electric car had
caught fire, a blaze which then spread to the garage. Fire teams were on the
scene within minutes, however, and prevented further damage.

“It didn’t take us long to take control of the fire,” deputy fire chief
Layne Jackson said. “The guys did a really quick attack on it. Nobody was
hurt and we were able to keep it isolated to the garage and keep it from
spreading into the house.”

An investigation into the fire is ongoing, Jackson said.

Electric car may have started Regina garage fire
August 1, 2016 Lisa Schick

An electric car may have been the cause of a mid-day garage fire in Regina
on Sunday.

Crews were called out around noon to 42 Fletcher Place in the University
Park area where an attached garage was on fire.

Everyone was able to get out of the house alright.

Crews attacked the flames quickly when they arrived and were able to stop
the fire from moving into the rest of the house.

The homeowner said an electric car was in the garage and had started the
fire, but Regina Fire & Protective Services said it hadn't verified that
yet.

An investigator will be looking into the fire this week.

American electric car maker confirms zero-emissions people-mover based on
the Model X

High-profile electric vehicle company Tesla will build a people-mover.

That’s the word from the Californian-based EV maker’s CEO, Elon Musk, who
tweeted the confirmation after a electric mini-bus was previously outlined
in his second Master Plan for the company.

Little is known about the new model or its production timing, but Musk has
previously hinted that it will semi-automated or fully-autonomous,
suggesting it’s unlikely to see the light of day this decade.

Described as a high passenger-density urban transport solution for the
future, Musk said the as-yet-unnamed vehicle will accommodate a large but
unspecified number of occupants.

“The Tesla Minibus will be built on a Model X chassis. People density
potential is surprisingly high,” he Tweeted.

The idea behind ‘Tesla’s Tarago’ is to create a vehicle with a smaller
footprint than a regular bus but not much larger than an SUV, in order to
transport multiple passengers.

Having just opened its Gigafactory in Nevada – which by 2020 will be the
world’s largest factory, bigger than 100 football fields – Tesla will
steadily ramp up production of three mainstream vehicles to meet demand.
These include the Model S sedan, upcoming Model 3 small car and the Model X
SUV, for which Australian pricing has just been announced.

And then the Tesla minibus will arrive, based on the Model X architecture.
It’s not clear how the new Tesla people mover will be styled, but something
along the lines of the Volkswagen Microbus concept from 2001 (pictured) is
possible.

Powered by lithium-ion batteries, which will also be produced at the
company’s gargantuan Gigafactory, the people-mover could become Tesla’s
answer to public transport.

He also added that Model Y will be a Compact SUV, which will be inspired
from Model 3 saloon. Other models which include electric cargo van, a mini
bus and a pickup will use the chassis of Model X.

He had earlier confirmed in the tweet that his new Tesla Minibus will be
built on the Model X chassis, according to AutoCar. This car will be based
on the specs and looks of Volkswagen Type II. Musk revealed all these
details in the answer to a British user’s tweet when he asked for the
arrival of a Ford Transit Rival. Musk replied by saying that this kind of
concept was possible as well.

Tesla is looking for the developments to convert all models into autonomous
models. According to Tesla they are planning to improve the quality of
driving by introducing more and more auto-driving cars which are based on
electronic module. The plan is to regulate the self-driving cars so they can
be summoned from anywhere to the place where you want them to be.

Hmm.  I never thought about it that way.  I live in a rural farming area and 
actually have 480V 3 phase power on my property to run irrigation pumps. The 
kind of pumps that supply a pivot system that waters 80 acres.  That would make 
a heck of a fast charger!
