Lion offer electric cabin heating which can be deployed to preheat the vehicle prior to 'drive out' powered while still connected to the charging station so as to not compromise battery charge level but there is also a buyer option for diesel powered heating for use in colder climates.

It would be interesting to know which heating system was in use in the buses that have had fires.
Additionally the latest cabin heating fitted to EVs is now by heat pump (to protect battery range) so the failure to employ this technology in these buses would perhaps indicate that Lion are a little behind the game in terms of EV technology.
