"How does LA create a LEGACY with hosting the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games?" ^^This was the theme I heard throughout many conversations last week while attending CoMotion and Green Tech Festival. We have such an incredible opportunity with the games coming to LA in less than 4 years and I'm excited to witness how Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI) and our portfolio companies will play a role!

First time I have heard of a Tesla big rig catching on fire, not the load the tractor.

EV battery fires can be very damaging. This recent fire of Mercedes EV in underground parking garage in Seoul/Korea has prompted removal of charging stations from underground parkings to the outside. Check WSJ publication (link is below) for details. Looks like this car was not even under charge when burst in flames. Based on an additional information from Korea, it was Mercedes EQE with NCM batteries produced by Farasis Energy . Car had actually exploded sending 23 people to hospital. https://lnkd.in/eVF7tC8G
