Don't listen to the BS from Social Media go to their web sites to get the real TRUTH. You are being conned.. This is something that nobody talks about. The Guardian reported that In Norway, which has the world's highest proportion of electric cars sales, there are between four and five times more fires in petrol and diesel cars. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that the were 3.8 fires per 100,000 electric or Hybrid in 2022 compared with 68 fires per 100,000 cars when taking all fuel types into account. Australia's EV FireSafe found there was a 0.0012% chance of a passenger electric vehicle battery catching fire, compared with a 0.1% chance for internal combustion engine fire. The chance of survival in a EV is very high as the car smokes for quite sometime before it combusts which gives the occupants time to get out of the vehicle and clear the area. Gas and Diesel vehicles are highly combustible which gives the occupants far less time to exit the vehicle which makes far less safe as your EV counterparts
Yeah, unlike gas which is definitely not explosive. A gas pipeline in Texas definitely didn't explode and take several days to extinguish, just last week.
@@neilkurzman4907Uh, no. It's the usual, plus: hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide, as well as various fluorinated phosphorus and lithium-based compounds. In addition, the runoff from such fires includes elevated levels of lithium, not unsurprisingly, with heavy metals that include nickel, manganese and cobalt. Of those, hydrogen fluoride, for example, which is a uniquely dangerous, strong inorganic acid has been found in smoke for Li-ion battery fires at levels approaching 600 ppm. As a frame of reference, the immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) concentration for hydrogen fluoride is only 30 ppm. Furthermore, cobalt is a dangerous heavy metal that is most likely to show up in a form combined with other atoms as an inorganic chemical. Fumes of these chemicals are considered dangerous at relatively low levels in air (NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit of 0.05 milligram per cubic meter over an 8-hour exposure).

@@jasono2139A vast majority of ice vehicles that burn are caused from a leak in the fuel system and having an ignition source to ignite the fuel, or other fluid that leaks onto an extremely hot surface. That doesn't happen unless the vehicle is in operation.
@martyharless5097 I literally watched a video of a brand new F150 burn up because of a short in the electrical system (it was turned off)... so no, you're wrong. And no, the vast majority of ICE fires are caused by the engine oil leaking onto something and catching fire... which can happen AFTER the vehicle has been turned off. The fuel systems on ICE vehicles are extremely robust and rarely cause fires (because the fuel is fed to the engine by a very small line... which is fed by a pump)
Not if you can charge at home whole other people are in line at the gas station preparing for a hurricane. It's not all bad. I think the issue here is people should park the car outside in preperation for storms flooding.

@@eternalspring1034 It is more voltage than size. An Iphone battery is about 3.7 volts, which is almost zero danger to a human body even if waterproofing fails. Even a 12-volt car battery poses very little risk while holding it underwater. But a Tesla battery is 350-375 volts; very dangerous if water creates a contact bridge between the poles.

but your electronics in the car will ..there 100 of 1000s of cases in US ICE cars exploding . The MSM doesn’t report it bc it’s not in their agenda nor incentive. Oil and legacy auto industry’s want you to stay on legacy ICE. A avg gas user can spend $30k in a decade in gas alone. Service departments would go out of business wo oil changes , transmissions, and maintenance. I’ve had Tesla and solar for 5 years in Florida …zero maintenance
Theres a reason they want you to fear EVs…..same tactic 100 years ago when trolly and train industries used when ford came out with the model T. It took 25 years for govt to build roads and infrastructure for gas cars. They would try to force gas cars to have human beings escort in front of the car with warning flags bc gas cars were dangerous.

@@SheridanCrane1974 The key is to be able to charge at home/work at 220-240 volts. It makes it so much easier. The heat is instant because you're not waiting for a cold gas engine to produce heat in the coolant. They "start" fine. Relay/contactors connect the battery pack to the inverter and motor when you select Drive or Reverse. The electric motor(s) don't need to warm up at all before you can drive normally. The big downside is reduced range in cold weather. On a given charge in your battery, your range in cold weather can be reduced by 40%. Most EVs like Teslas have liquid cooled and heated batteries. The car tries to keep the battery pack at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit all of the time. This makes the battery last longer and work at its best when in use. When it's cold outside, the battery pack uses a heater to heat the batteries to keep them near 70 degrees. That, and the driver using the heated steering wheel, heater and defroster all draw power from the battery pack. When plugged in in cold weather, some of the juice goes to the battery pack, and some goes to the battery heater. That's why charging on 220+ volts matters: you need some of the extra juice just to keep the batteries warm. Interestingly enough, in Norway and Sweden, Teslas sell quite well. There must be tax incentives that help that along. Also, Europe has much higher fuel prices (due to taxes) than does the USA, so I'm sure that's part of it too. EVs CAN be great, but they are NOT for everyone. One last thing: don't drag race any Tesla with red brake rotors. You'll probably lose.
@@marktwaine9344 Yes! EV advocates also believe that their vehicles just magically pull power right out of the ether! LOL! They live in an ecological fantasy world. Virtue signaling is the absolute correct term for it, as well as status seeker, considering the exorbitant cost of the damn things!

@@VOSOMNIS Your information about the 2024 Ford Mustang is incredibly misleading. It's only certain engines, not all models. The reason? O-Rings not used when installing the fuel injectors. The most common recall for the 2024 Mustang is actually from faulty rear suspension knuckles. When are EV manufacturers going to put warnings on their EV vehicles that they can catch fire from charging or getting the battery wet? That's the most common reason for EV fires. Most ICEV fires are caused by accidents, not just sitting there parked not running. EVs catch fire just sitting there charging or running through water, or even going through the carwash. When checking online, the number of fires per 100k vary from site to site, you chose one with the lowest number of EV fires that also somehow has the highest number of ICE fires. Is that website biased?

The smoke from burning EVs is environmentally friendly.
It’s burning plastic, the same as you get from gasoline cars.
@@neilkurzman4907Uh, no. It's the usual, plus: hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and sulfur dioxide, as well as various fluorinated phosphorus and lithium-based compounds. In addition, the runoff from such fires includes elevated levels of lithium, not unsurprisingly, with heavy metals that include nickel, manganese and cobalt.
Of those, hydrogen fluoride, for example, which is a uniquely dangerous, strong inorganic acid has been found in smoke for Li-ion battery fires at levels approaching 600 ppm. As a frame of reference, the immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) concentration for hydrogen fluoride is only 30 ppm. Furthermore, cobalt is a dangerous heavy metal that is most likely to show up in a form combined with other atoms as an inorganic chemical. Fumes of these chemicals are considered dangerous at relatively low levels in air (NIOSH Recommended Exposure Limit of 0.05 milligram per cubic meter over an 8-hour exposure).

And no, the vast majority of ICE fires are caused by the engine oil leaking onto something and catching fire... which can happen AFTER the vehicle has been turned off.
The fuel systems on ICE vehicles are extremely robust and rarely cause fires (because the fuel is fed to the engine by a very small line... which is fed by a pump)

@@snowrocket how are they in extreme weather conditions? zero degrees? does it start up good?
@@SheridanCrane1974 The key is to be able to charge at home/work at 220-240 volts. It makes it so much easier. The heat is instant because you're not waiting for a cold gas engine to produce heat in the coolant. They "start" fine. Relay/contactors connect the battery pack to the inverter and motor when you select Drive or Reverse. The electric motor(s) don't need to warm up at all before you can drive normally.
The big downside is reduced range in cold weather. On a given charge in your battery, your range in cold weather can be reduced by 40%. Most EVs like Teslas have liquid cooled and heated batteries. The car tries to keep the battery pack at around 70 degrees Fahrenheit all of the time. This makes the battery last longer and work at its best when in use. When it's cold outside, the battery pack uses a heater to heat the batteries to keep them near 70 degrees. That, and the driver using the heated steering wheel, heater and defroster all draw power from the battery pack. When plugged in in cold weather, some of the juice goes to the battery pack, and some goes to the battery heater. That's why charging on 220+ volts matters: you need some of the extra juice just to keep the batteries warm.
Interestingly enough, in Norway and Sweden, Teslas sell quite well. There must be tax incentives that help that along. Also, Europe has much higher fuel prices (due to taxes) than does the USA, so I'm sure that's part of it too.
EVs CAN be great, but they are NOT for everyone. One last thing: don't drag race any Tesla with red brake rotors. You'll probably lose.

When are EV manufacturers going to put warnings on their EV vehicles that they can catch fire from charging or getting the battery wet? That's the most common reason for EV fires. Most ICEV fires are caused by accidents, not just sitting there parked not running. EVs catch fire just sitting there charging or running through water, or even going through the carwash.
When checking online, the number of fires per 100k vary from site to site, you chose one with the lowest number of EV fires that also somehow has the highest number of ICE fires. Is that website biased?
Great climate vehicle 😮
All EV cars shouldn’t be parked in garages
Don't listen to the BS from Social Media go to their web sites to get the real TRUTH. You are being conned.. This is something that nobody talks about. The Guardian reported that In Norway, which has the world's highest proportion of electric cars sales, there are between four and five times more fires in petrol and diesel cars. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found that the were 3.8 fires per 100,000 electric or Hybrid in 2022 compared with 68 fires per 100,000 cars when taking all fuel types into account. Australia's EV FireSafe found there was a 0.0012% chance of a passenger electric vehicle battery catching fire, compared with a 0.1% chance for internal combustion engine fire. The chance of survival in a EV is very high as the car smokes for quite sometime before it combusts which gives the occupants time to get out of the vehicle and clear the area. Gas and Diesel vehicles are highly combustible which gives the occupants far less time to exit the vehicle which makes far less safe as your EV counterpart
Sone insurance companies will charge more if you park your ev in the garage
I park my EV not in the garage but next to a gas car. Just in case lol.
Basically everybody that has a cell phone is walking around with an explosive device on their person
True, because your phone has a lithium-ion battery in it.
Elmo literally soiling himself....
I drove through Georgia and Alabama 2 months ago on a trip and there were MORE pine trees growing over the power lines and poles than cars with people living in that state combined.. No preventive maintenance, no tree trimming, the limbs grow way too close to the lines and this is the outcome. Poor maintenance leads to poor quality of life!
Tolerance of stupidity is no virtue
Humans already knew this. They stopped making electric vehicles in the 50s for good reasons. Stupidity repeating itself.

@@willymaykit1482 I've replied to his same copy/paste from another commentor. This information isn't correct anyway. If you check different sources, they have different numbers for EV vs ICE. It also doesn't tell you that most ICEV fires are caused by accidents and that most EV fires are caused by charging or moisture getting in to the battery pack.

Now who covers that? flood insurance or fire insurance?
You won't be able to have homeowners insurance if you own an electric car watch
Maybe so. Or, if you have a claim, they will have stated in your policy that they will pay out a fraction of what they would had it been an ICE car in the structure.
There definitely needs to be improvements made to make EVs impervious to floodwater and stronger at resisting damage from impacts.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Those idiot vehicles shouldn't be sold in those areas.
But we travel, so do we put up borders and ban the incoming cars, scooters or whatever these come in with? NO we tell manufactures you are sued and do not sell them as is!
No, they shouldn't be sold anywhere.
Should not be sold at all. Yet Govt world wide want to make a bigger problem pushing buyers into EVs.
They should be banned, along with the government.

@travishartman5662 very few have natural gas in florida. You don't need it.
Thank you Texas for helping others! Prayers help too, but won't replace the loved ones that were lost and how many politicians really care about you. If your insurance company says they won't pay you to get your home fixed, you need to see this. This just came out on 60min. It's happening in many states by several companies. I'm not surprised because many gave your money to politicians instead of people who needed it. Watch this if you still have a home and electricity. Send this to others who need to know this information too.
You have got to fight back, and join with your neighbors in other states.
> Florida insurance carriers used altered hurricane damage reports, whistleblowers say
The crazy thing about this is that every car manufacturer has or is coming out with an electric vehicle. They don't seem to see the handwriting on the wall.
Its all driven by corrupt government. They are being forced.
Because there are huge government "incentives" for doing so. Also they get you to replace a working vehicle out of guilt. The final catch is the much higher maintenance required that they sell you on a monopoly. Tesla doesn't even allow you to change a tire ffs.
In Europe all new cars must be electric by 2035. The time of oil powered cars is coming to the end. There are some problems that need to be fixed with EVs such as making them waterproof but those problems will be fixed. They are not going anywhere.

Yes, they DO! It's the stupid environmentalists pushing THEIR agenda onto the governments AND us and FORCING the car companies to build EVs or else.
EVs are saving the planet they say, but you have to lose your home in the process. 🙄🙄
Imagine what happens hen you accidentally swamp your Tesla in a flood.....and you're in it.
You do the same damned thing you do in an ICE car: you get out of it.
If you own a modern EV you're basically driving a ticking time bomb, not like driving older Toyota Prius which is a very reliable car. Maybe people who drive electric cars should be in a full fire suit.
