Hello! I'm the guy who rocked up to the hospital. I'd like to clarify that it wasn't for an emergency... it was a planned appointment in a smaller building next to the main hospital with its own car park (we'd never been there before). It's also not quite fair on the hospital to say "I've not received a response". They have 20 working days to respond to me, they've acknowledged receipt of my FOI request and confirmed they will respond. It's true that the main carpark does allow EVs (and in fact has chargers there) and in fact I parked there 2 days before as I was at the main hospital for another reason. (Twice in a week - very rare!) There's a video on my channel where I tell the full story and discuss it in more details, so please feel free to have a watch of that (not posting the link here as comment will likely be held for review if I do!)

One thing I would add is - it is well known that water wont put out an EV fire, so upgrading the fire sprinkler system is entirely down to the risk of an ICE car brewing up. Another statement from Alder Hey also claimed the "ban" was a miss-communication, and it was updating the EV chargers in that particular car park; and the sign was supposed to warn EV drivers that the chargers were out of service. Meanwhile, the big 4 car leasing companies in the UK confirmed yet again, that not one of the hundreds of thousands of EVs they run - has caught on fire so far.

In a statement issued to the BBC, Alder Hey hospital said following advice from Merseyside Fire and Rescue it had "temporarily restricted the parking of electric vehicles in one of our smaller car parks while we upgrade its fire sprinkler system. They can park in the other car parks. Alder Hey comment “Electric vehicles are still able to park in our main hospital car park". The statement also said that car park has 14 spaces with EV charging points. Consequently, has an EV driver he’s seen has a class A numpty in Merseyside now Alder Hey has responded, the charging detail is on their website for goodness’s sake. All he has done is given a narrative to the national right wing newspapers that are anti-ev and pro-big oil.

@@Fomites Simple the hospital and the Merseyside Fire and Rescue have explained the situation and EV locations available the BBC give the official response has did the Liverpool echo, the safety system is being brought up to standard to the new regulations for Electric and Hydrogen Vehicles. The hospital has to follow the instructions of the Fire and Rescue advice in accordance with the Health and Safety executive and latest Department of Transport instructions. Consequently given the other larger car parks availability has detailed on the hospital website, with in one case significant charging capacity, it does look somewhat contrived.

As someone has already said, it's a childrens hospital and having visited there it's a pretty sad place to visit. I turned up once on a day job to visit to find a couple of parents in tears. When you understand that it's a childrens hospital and you go past the place of worship and see recently bereaved parents, that's not how you want to start your day. I recognise internet humour of course but when you've been to any place like this, it's also possible to understand the significance of words.

Correct all national Electrical Fire and Safety and Building specifications and regulations have been upgraded to accommodate EV and hydrogen vehicles safety. This car park was close to EVs by the Merseyside Fire and Rescue until its upgraded to specifications. The hospital has other large car parks, one with a 14 place charger system. The EV driver has come in for a lot of criticism in the North West for basic incompetence, unfortunately he provided a brilliant narrative for the national right-wing papers that are anti-ev.

It’s got nothing to do with equipment in the hospital. In the U.K. we have these magical things called Electric, Fire prevention and Building specifications and regulations these have recently gone through major upgrade to accommodate new EV and Hydrogen vehicles which include the retro upgrade of existing car parks. Petrol and Diesel vehicles can park because the car park meets the specifications for them and there are loads more of them. The car park was closed to EV’s under the instructions of the Merseyside Fire and Rescue whilst it was upgraded to meet these new specifications for EV and Hydrogen vehicles. There are several other large car parks one with charging covering 14 places for EVs, the full narrative was published in the North West, the national right wing media pushes an anti-EV narrative. I am surprised at Sam falling for it.

It may be a very small chance of the EV catching fire but it does happen. It could be an ICE car catches fire & sets fire to the EV, & then there is a catistrophic fire. The toxic fumes from an EV fire can kill or main a human very quickly in a confined space. In US they have huge special blanket to throw over the car but fire trucks cant fit in most car parks. Also the firemen would have to wear Hazmat suits for an EV fire but not for an ICE fire

In Thailand, there was news of an electric bicycle causing a whole house to burn down. (That cheap e-bike is charging.)But the news was written that it is an "electric vehicle", leads people to believing that "electric cars" are also unsafe too.

"According to the US Government, gasoline-powered vehicles have a 1.5% chance of catching fire per 100,000 vehicles, while battery-electric vehicles have a 0.025% chance. This means that gas-powered vehicles are 61 times more likely to catch fire than electric vehicles."

If the security guard said that, he should be re-educated by the hospital and all staff should have to do training to ensure they know how to properly deal with such claims with comments such as, 'Do you wish to die of lung disease in agony?' or 'Why are you causing the premature death of our patients, forcing untold harm on this country, by polluting with an ICE vehicle, you monster?' in just the same way I'd expect them to say, 'No, big is not beautiful, your fat is why you are ill in conjunction with your smoking cigarettes or drinking heavily, stop it and your health will be better.' I get that they're upgrading the sprinklers, but they're also participating in spreading stuff that directly contributes to earlier deaths on the NHS and increased costs which could be spent on the things that should really kill us - like old age. We're all going to die, but the NHS would spend less money getting us to old age, and keeping us from becoming elderly and infirm, if they had fewer completely unnecessary disease to treat from obesity, smoking, ICE pollution and so on.

Two large multi story car park fires have happened in recent years in the U.K. Both started by ICE cars. The earlier one was in Liverpool. It also involved the destruction of hundreds of cars.

We are seeing the beginning of the end of the Ev "transition" and it died uneer the weight of insurance companies 😂. You can say ice cars are 80% more likely to catch fire and sure ill give it to you. But the average age of a ice car is over 10 years old, do you think the likelihood of something going wrong increases with age? Now think about millions of 10 year old Evs will the chance of fire increase? The Ev fire risk will only increase.

A compressed natural gas power truck caught fire and subsequently exploded severely injuring six firefighters. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHvFp3-emsSanKssi=l6hhfMAhMY_ntvHy You would never see something this catastrophic from batteries. In the words of Sandy Munroe "petroleum power cars carry energy which is DESIGNED to burn". How many CNG powered truck might serve that hospital?
