It is not a normal kind of fire; the cells in the battery are discharging their energy all at once, and from what I have seen, it's difficult at best to put out such a 'fire'. One Firefighter team said they spent 20 000 gallons of water and were unable to quench the fire burning in one of these EV's.
The one of many concerns I have with EV's is the Electrical connections and how they will be protected from Salt corrosion in the Northern states but also in deep southern states. Even if they are all sealed connections this does not mean they would not leak in a flooded condition. All the energy that is normally stored in a fuel tank of Gas or Diesel is now in a battery so once it is on fire it will stay that way until it burns it self out.
salt water? these cars have been catching fire from the start, salt water, normal water and no water at all.Dont let the mainstream media propaganda take over tour brain. Focusing only on salt water is their way of minimizing the dangers of these cr-ap, dangerous cars.
Correct. EV batteries are more susceptible to spontaneous combustion if water intrusion has occurred. Most EV's have their batteries mounted under the car, just a few inches above the road, making water intrusion during rainy weather a possibility. Also as noted by fire departments, EV fires burn very hot and have proven impossible to extinguish. Therefore an EV fire would have the potential to cause more proximity damage if in a parking garage or carport. Also, EV's cost more to purchase and repair and therefore are more expensive to insure.
GM sent out that warning about not parking inside a garage or parking structure, and parking fifty feet away from any building, because the insurance companies won’t pay for that building when it burns down.
For several years, San Francisco's streets have doubled as a test track for hundreds of driverless cars , they have crashed with a firetruck, more than 70 instances of these autonomous vehicles interfering with emergency responders.

There are 190'000 reasons not to buy an ICE car. That's the number of ICE cars that caught fire in the US 2022, according to the NTSB. There were 4200 EV fires in the US over the same period.
@@Brian-om2hh More than 250 Million ICE vehicles in the US. Around 2.5 Million EVs in the US... That's 100:1. Now let's extrapolate: 4,200 EV fires * 100 = 420,000 fires if we had as many EVs as ICEs. That's more than double the rate of fire. This is why statistics is taught in college, and why lefties use raw numbers instead of statistics to push their agenda. When you actually account for differences, it just sinks their narrative -- just like yours, here.
Big business thinks of people as sheep, it's easy to steer people in the direction you want, with just a few persuasive claims about EV's. ... Foolish people are followers
Thing you should know as an EV owner you are responsible for any fire damage caused by your vehicle. It takes days of monitoring to put one out completely. So get the biggest policy you can get. As a lot of EV use the battery pack as a structural member any hit could start a fire at later date post accident as it takes one one damaged cell to start a fire.

I like the advice this video gives: (potentially) water-damaged EVs must be parked at least 50 feet away from other structures (lest it catch fire and burn your house down). How many such places exist in modern cities, least of all within walking distance of one's home? Even parked out on a street is probably not far enough since you are probably going to be parked with other cars. Should those cars be other EVs then guess what is going to happen if your car ever DOES catch fire?
So stupid to roll out these evs without safety regs. Charging in a garage is foolish. Very toxic fumes if it catches on fire. Evs are too heavy for older parking garages and older bridges. Eventually one will catch on fire under an apartment complex. A disaster waiting to happen. Just a matter of time.
@@gifthorse3675 Nearly half of all car fires happen when the cars are parked. Ford has recalled more than 600.000 vehicles recently because the cars could catch fire after being parked.
EV cars burn twice as hot. Once they catch fire their is no stopping it. A gas car may catch fire, but that doesn't mean the whole car will burn up unless a fuel line is compromised
Electric car people should have to wear a face mask to prevent the spread. Then they should have to get quarterly injections to help them stay "normal". Oh, yeah, they already do. Trust the science.
EVs that have been submerged can pop off like a fire cracker!🧨 EVs submerged in a garage during a hurricane have been known to cause more damage than the storm!
If any car is flooded with salt water, you are better off if it burns! Everyone saw that hurricane coming, they should have known to get in their Tesla and get out of town. Big surprise salt water and a high capacity battery don’t mix!
No one thinks that in a flood a gas car engine gets damaged. Water does go up the exaust into the engine block and ruins the engine or at least a costly repair.
If a hurricane is coming and they tell you the water is going rise why don’t you leave for a few days? The house is going to be trashed anyway. Then come home and throw all your stuff away if the home is still there.
@@daveassanowicz186it will a week later when your ev is parked in the garage and it decides to catch on fire 🔥🔥🔥 they aren't talking about cars catching on fire while they are under water
The words of authority:- ". . . Park it 50 feet from any structure and take it in for service". The words of wisdom:- "OI! don't bring that flooded-out EV into my workshop mate, it might catch fire and burn the building down!" I'm keeping my diesel car until EV's have safe batteries.
Would be interesting to know whether a 'service' would include removal of the huge batteries to check that the entire sealing is in tact and all cells and interconnections have not been contaminated 🤨.
The engineering is going to have to catch up to the realities of operating EVs…. I am sure that vital electrical connections are already made to be waterproof, but clearly, more needs to be done to ENSURE that all electrical connections are fully waterproof even if a vehicle is submerged. EV batteries are just too finicky and dangerous if not properly protected.
EV lithium-ion batteries contain a FLAMMABLE electrolyte that can result in fire or even explosions if they are punctured, damaged, or heated. ------ The electrodes are submerged in a liquid called an electrolyte, which allows for the movement of ions and consists of lithium salt and organic solvents. It is these ORGANIC solvents which are the leading fire hazard in Li-ion batteries.
Get down on the ground with a flash light and check for rust. Someone I once knew bought his kid a nice used car. Had it a few months. Went to back out of drive and car made a thud and quit moving. Started ok. The under side had completely rusted out snd something major gave out. $10,000 wasted. Rebuilt title. IMO it was a hurricane Katrina car bought at auction by a dealer who sold in a different state without disclosing the cause for the title.
I know a lot of people really wanted EV's to be the best solution to limiting carbon emissions from cars, but in reality they're not. There's still no viable reason why EV's should be rushed into production and mandated by 2035. ICE and EV's can coexist until technology is able to safely comply with political convictions.
I agree completely. I would still absolutely drive an electric vehicle, especially one with self driving. They are a very simple drive train with instant torque, not many parts to fail besides cells & body/interior components. Don't get me wrong, any machine breaks. There are manufacturer defects. But I would definitely by an EV if there was a truck since im electrician by trade. The only option is the Rivian which isnt terrible, but a "normal" looking truck is what I'm looking for. I dont need people asking me questions about my vehicle everywhere i go... plus all of the electric trucks on the market are ugly af. (Conservative btw, not just some liberal pushing a narrative... governments need to stop pushing EVs, let the market decide imo)
Defective cars sold at outrageous prices! Manufacturer should be liable for all cost involved. Insurance should not have to cover manufacturer defects or negligence.
all E-Car owners need to be aware when they go through a deep puddle that is dangerous' if the water reaches the sill the battery compartment is flooded and water bridges between the + & - terminals and shorts them out risking fire, I'm anti-E-Car so I'm biased in my views but if you own one think twice about using them in winter and wet conditions, and never go through a deep puddle or a water-ford on a road, electricity and water don't mix well,
Let's all get one... What could go wrong?? Besides the brown outs and blackouts we will have because there's no power while we're charging all our cars at 5PM... Then they will burn down our house so we won't have to worry about no power. What is the upside to owning one of these again????
Yes, gasoline cars start on fire, but once the fire is out it stays out. EV's are known to reignite on the way to the impound lot and after they sit for a while.
@@smedleyfarnsworth263 The stats show that ICE fires are much more frequent than EV fires, and that's based on pro rata numbers. But yes EV fires are much more intense.
The one part that confuses me is why they put the batteries on the bottom of the car? It means less of the car needs to be in water to actually submerge the batteries
EV has about half the parts count of a gas car, but yet these EVs cost 2 to 5 times as much.?? Someone is make huge profit on these simple cars. Ev's also have their own type of pollution ( gases from Lithium or Ultium batteries, including other specialized automotive grade batteries) and are known to expel highly toxic gases both when charging and discharging now this will add to our already polluted air. On top of that, the total operating cost of these EV's is extremely high in the long run. ... No thanks, I'll pass ... I don't want to add to the problem by adding even more toxins to the environment.
5 year Total Cost of Ownership for a Tesla Model 3 is less than a Toyota Camry or Corolla. There is no off-gassing from Lithium batteries, unlike lead acid batteries which produce flammable hydrogen gas. EV's are not 2-5 X more expensive, they are almost at cost parity with their equivalent gas cars, and dropping every year.
I don't allow this to scare you. Saltwater is an excellent conductor of current got into the batteries and shorted out the positive and negative side of the lithium batteries.

Except almost no one has the capability to recycle them...
Funny how they are nearly all Teslas
Maybe because Tesla outsell every other EV 10:1.
How many toxic cancer causing chemicals are in the smoke coming of that EV?
how many people get sick from breathing in gas and diesel.?
Many parking garages are posting signs. NO ELECTRIC CAR PARKING.
It's just another reason not to buy an EV.
There are 190'000 reasons not to buy an ICE car. That's the number of ICE cars that caught fire in the US 2022, according to the NTSB. There were 4200 EV fires in the US over the same period.
@@Brian-om2hhSthu tree hugger. 🙄
@@Brian-om2hh More than 250 Million ICE vehicles in the US. Around 2.5 Million EVs in the US... That's 100:1. Now let's extrapolate: 4,200 EV fires * 100 = 420,000 fires if we had as many EVs as ICEs. That's more than double the rate of fire. This is why statistics is taught in college, and why lefties use raw numbers instead of statistics to push their agenda. When you actually account for differences, it just sinks their narrative -- just like yours, here.
@@Brian-om2hhhow many ICE elsewhere compare to EV? EV is ticking bomb compare to ICE because it self ignite
@@Brian-om2hh95% of vehicles on the road are ICE. Guess you also can't understand the per capita of those who commit the most crimes, as well, huh?
All those tiny batteries are such a bad joke. Would never park one in my garage. Firemen refuse to buy them!
Lol so how does that work, some idiot parks near me the parking lot floods and everyone within 50ft is screwed?
It’s called a hurricane puts your car underwater from a storm surge
Big business thinks of people as sheep, it's easy to steer people in the direction you want, with just a few persuasive claims about EV's. ... Foolish people are followers
Something not considered- EV's in Northern States that are exposed to deicing salt. This is pretty much the same as
being exposed to salt water.
I will never be caught driving one of these death traps!!!
I'd be paying for my own death!
Enjoy the E-Bus
Gas cars catch fire every 17 seconds in the US.
Imagine a flooded parking lot with maybe hundreds of burning vehicles.
Underground parking in NYC. OY!
With a big storm.
Awesome !
Thing you should know as an EV owner you are responsible for any fire damage caused by your vehicle. It takes days of monitoring to put one out completely. So get the biggest policy you can get. As a lot of EV use the battery pack as a structural member any hit could start a fire at later date post accident as it takes one one damaged cell to start a fire.
More than days, they can go back up even after months.
They wil stay lit, on fire, for hours even underwater with no source of oxygen
I agree. But this is being forced upon us. Like in Cali for example. Eventually we will have no choice!
We need hydrogen powered vehicles. I think they might actually be safer than lithium battery powered vehicles.
@@ThroughTheHaze would you allow me to force you to eat anchovies? I don't understand why you believe the government is your master, your leader. They are " representatives" for the people, it's disgusting to watch you bow down because it's easier. No I'm not anti-government, just sick of watching the sheep advocate for a ruler...
I like the advice this video gives: (potentially) water-damaged EVs must be parked at least 50 feet away from other structures (lest it catch fire and burn your house down). How many such places exist in modern cities, least of all within walking distance of one's home? Even parked out on a street is probably not far enough since you are probably going to be parked with other cars. Should those cars be other EVs then guess what is going to happen if your car ever DOES catch fire?
Don't believe I would even want to spend the night in a motel if an EV was parked in front.
And just to think the government is pushing for all EV by 2035
Imagine some unsuspecting small kids playing around it.
So stupid to roll out these evs without safety regs. Charging in a garage is foolish. Very toxic fumes if it catches on fire. Evs are too heavy for older parking garages and older bridges. Eventually one will catch on fire under an apartment complex. A disaster waiting to happen. Just a matter of time.
If your ICE car catches on fire in your garage, you can safely breathe in the fumes 😂
A gas car is not just going to catch fire in the garage unless it’s running.
@@Tschacki_Quackiyep, another child Tesla fanboy..
@@gifthorse3675 Nearly half of all car fires happen when the cars are parked. Ford has recalled more than 600.000 vehicles recently because the cars could catch fire after being parked.
EV cars burn twice as hot. Once they catch fire their is no stopping it. A gas car may catch fire, but that doesn't mean the whole car will burn up unless a fuel line is compromised
Stay 1000 feet away at all times from electric cars.
I don’t want one even parking anywhere near my vehicle
Electric car people should have to wear a face mask to prevent the spread. Then they should have to get quarterly injections to help them stay "normal".
Oh, yeah, they already do. Trust the science.
Also recommend staying 1000 feet away from the liberal driver at all times as well!
that s easy never buy one
Imagine taking one of these evs to the carwash and this happens 😂
Insurance companies will not want to insure these cars.
EVs that have been submerged can pop off like a fire cracker!🧨 EVs submerged in a garage during a hurricane have been known to cause more damage than the storm!
Add that into the carbon footprint of electric cars.
One more reason not to own an electric vehicle 😳🥺🫣
In coatal cities salt water is in the air. My aunts Cadillac slowly rusted at her condo in Florida from the salt moisture in the air.
They should've known water and electricity don't mix.
The problem here is not exactly water and electricity, but Lithium and water, that is an explosive combination.
@andyr8812 Didn't know that ,still scary.
So, you don't have a washing machine, a kettle, or an electric shower in your home then?
@Brian-om2hh WHAT ! I dont submerge them in water . Did you read the news article?
If EV owners could park 5 miles away from the rest of us sensible people, that would be great.
Ooo look at you edgy.

They are really junk
EVs and floods dont mix
Bottom line: Florida just isn't an ideal place for EVs.
If any car is flooded with salt water, you are better off if it burns! Everyone saw that hurricane coming, they should have known to get in their Tesla and get out of town. Big surprise salt water and a high capacity battery don’t mix!
No one thinks that in a flood a gas car engine gets damaged. Water does go up the exaust into the engine block and ruins the engine or at least a costly repair.
@@sailorx72 yes but it doesn't catch fire and possible burn your house down
@LHS2369 your house is gonna burn down when it's under water? 😂
If a hurricane is coming and they tell you the water is going rise why don’t you leave for a few days? The house is going to be trashed anyway. Then come home and throw all your stuff away if the home is still there.
@@daveassanowicz186it will a week later when your ev is parked in the garage and it decides to catch on fire 🔥🔥🔥 they aren't talking about cars catching on fire while they are under water
Who would buy one, don’t park next to an EV
They tried to rush this tech when it wasn't ready for widespread use... 😮
Rush? LOL dude we are less than 10%. Norway is over 90% and China is over 60%. We need 10 years to catch up to Norway.
The words of authority:- ". . . Park it 50 feet from any structure and take it in for service".
The words of wisdom:- "OI! don't bring that flooded-out EV into my workshop mate, it might catch fire and burn the building down!"
I'm keeping my diesel car until EV's have safe batteries.
Would be interesting to know whether a 'service' would include removal of the huge batteries to check that the entire sealing is in tact and all cells and interconnections have not been contaminated 🤨.
Maybe this is why General Motors suddenly destroyed their entire inventory of electric vehicles back in the 70s.
😢 remember to keep your emergency pack in your EV at all times! Marshmallows and hot dogs.
Wise-*** LOL
How about not buying an EV?
You are right, not buying a EV. The strip mining alone will be worse for the planet, then drilling for oil!
😂😅
95 percent of EV's are still on the road. The other 5 made it home.
Ha Ha Ha ha 🤣
The engineering is going to have to catch up to the realities of operating EVs…. I am sure that vital electrical connections are already made to be waterproof, but clearly, more needs to be done to ENSURE that all electrical connections are fully waterproof even if a vehicle is submerged. EV batteries are just too finicky and dangerous if not properly protected.
In China they water test Teslas here apparently they do not.
EV lithium-ion batteries contain a FLAMMABLE electrolyte that can result in fire or even explosions if they are punctured, damaged, or heated. ------ The electrodes are submerged in a liquid called an electrolyte, which allows for the movement of ions and consists of lithium salt and organic solvents. It is these ORGANIC solvents which are the leading fire hazard in Li-ion batteries.
Pull the seatbelt all the way out and look at end for water marks.
Get down on the ground with a flash light and check for rust. Someone I once knew bought his kid a nice used car. Had it a few months. Went to back out of drive and car made a thud and quit moving. Started ok.
The under side had completely rusted out snd something major gave out. $10,000 wasted. Rebuilt title.
IMO it was a hurricane Katrina car bought at auction by a dealer who sold in a different state without disclosing the cause for the title.
Parking garage downtown in my city just put up new signs at the entrance. " No EV parking sorry for any inconveniences"
This is yet another reason why ev's are a scam period.
... Becouse why exactly? I wasnt aware gas vehicles never went up in flames.
I’ve been driving this scam for 5 years I guess 😂, 80k miles, never had a fire, generated my own propulsion energy with solar panels on my house.
Personal automobiles are the scam, brother. Watch Not Just Bikes
Because it's such a great idea to buy an ICE car that has been flooded with salt water? Yeah right...
@@ejp1we can only hope..
I would like to know if the insurance companies cover all the damages
Probably, but the premiums will reflect the risk.
I know a lot of people really wanted EV's to be the best solution to limiting carbon emissions from cars, but in reality they're not.
There's still no viable reason why EV's should be rushed into production and mandated by 2035.
ICE and EV's can coexist until technology is able to safely comply with political convictions.
This is what happens when you have idiots running the government
I will not comply.
I agree completely. I would still absolutely drive an electric vehicle, especially one with self driving. They are a very simple drive train with instant torque, not many parts to fail besides cells & body/interior components.
Don't get me wrong, any machine breaks. There are manufacturer defects. But I would definitely by an EV if there was a truck since im electrician by trade. The only option is the Rivian which isnt terrible, but a "normal" looking truck is what I'm looking for. I dont need people asking me questions about my vehicle everywhere i go... plus all of the electric trucks on the market are ugly af.
(Conservative btw, not just some liberal pushing a narrative... governments need to stop pushing EVs, let the market decide imo)
Insurance is going to kill EV's! The Dutch Oven effect!
I'm sure the other 299.998 damaged vehicles that weren't Teslas, don't have any influence...
I love when this happens.
These things are dangerous and need to be banned.
Agreed 👍🏻
Defective cars sold at outrageous prices! Manufacturer should be liable for all cost involved. Insurance should not have to cover manufacturer defects or negligence.
I don't think those batteries like water.
No battery likes water

Obviously batteries never tested for this factor nor many other spontaneous combustion factors....not a reliable mode of transport?
Who could have seen this coming ? 😅
Park 50 feet away from any structure, particularly when you're charging.
all E-Car owners need to be aware when they go through a deep puddle that is dangerous'
if the water reaches the sill the battery compartment is flooded and water bridges between the + & - terminals and shorts them out risking fire, I'm anti-E-Car so I'm biased in my views but if you own one think twice about using them in winter and wet conditions, and never go through a deep puddle or a water-ford on a road, electricity and water don't mix well,
Let's all get one... What could go wrong?? Besides the brown outs and blackouts we will have because there's no power while we're charging all our cars at 5PM... Then they will burn down our house so we won't have to worry about no power. What is the upside to owning one of these again????
We are overdue for our companies and government fixing our grid
Yes, gasoline cars start on fire, but once the fire is out it stays out. EV's are known to reignite on the way to the impound lot and after they sit for a while.
174000 gas fires in 2022 took a hell of a lot more total water than the EV's that were reported to catch on fire.
That is scary. My neighbor has one. I don't want one.
@@wdbldr67 Now lets talk about the concept of pro rata numbers.

READ THE OWNERS MANUAL.
EVs are not to be driven in the rain!!!
Or parked on flooded streets.
The one part that confuses me is why they put the batteries on the bottom of the car? It means less of the car needs to be in water to actually submerge the batteries
@@KaosNova2 Batteries are very heavy. It lowered the center of gravity and makes the car more stable.

@@farnthboy a hot ta’ hot a burning car yea
EV has about half the parts count of a gas car, but yet these EVs cost 2 to 5 times as much.?? Someone is make huge profit on these simple cars. Ev's also have their own type of pollution ( gases from Lithium or Ultium batteries, including other specialized automotive grade batteries) and are known to expel highly toxic gases both when charging and discharging now this will add to our already polluted air. On top of that, the total operating cost of these EV's is extremely high in the long run. ... No thanks, I'll pass ... I don't want to add to the problem by adding even more toxins to the environment.
To be fair there are newer models that will be comparable if not cheaper in the 20K range
5 year Total Cost of Ownership for a Tesla Model 3 is less than a Toyota Camry or Corolla. There is no off-gassing from Lithium batteries, unlike lead acid batteries which produce flammable hydrogen gas. EV's are not 2-5 X more expensive, they are almost at cost parity with their equivalent gas cars, and dropping every year.
I don't allow this to scare you. Saltwater is an excellent conductor of current got into the batteries and shorted out the positive and negative side of the lithium batteries.
How about use a safer battery than a Li Ion or don’t build the battery on the bottom of the car?
