From the "Combustion Engine" to the "Spontaneous Combusting EV".
Bloody great comment ol son!👍👍👍
Yep those vechicles are dangerous as hell
Wow, all the fumes must be great at reducing our carbon footprints 😂
A gas car is a furnace/bomb on wheels. Can't even imagine to compare.
@@sonerogarcia evs are way worse. Did you not watch the video?
I guess that is one way to get rid of the batteries, the other way is being compared to disposing of spent fuel rods.
@@avman2cl no, not way worse. When an ICE car is on fire, you have to run. This happens when you buy crappy EVs, mostly, non-Tesla. .and you can't recycle all the pollution ICE cars emit whenever driven.
Face it electric car suck and the medias gonna do nothing but cover it all up.
If one of those cars catches fire while parked in a garage at a home at 3am, the results could be disastrous. Nope! I will take my chances with an internal combustion engine with a proper fuel tank, thank you very much!
I'm with you!
Oh heck no, I'll forever stay with my gasoline-powered vehicle 👍🏼.
Ya gas never catches fire lol 🤦♂️
@@Nerfherder117vs are worse
@@Nerfherder117Not by itself it doesn't you clown😂
20,000 to 40,000 gallons of fresh, potable water to put out each fire. Add that to the ecological balance sheet for these stupid things.
Take a step back and realize that it is so rare for these to catch fire. Not simply because they're a smaller percentage on the road, but that they are so well protected and don't explode like gasoline cars, so it's probably more likely that more water is used to put out gas cars. Not to mention all of the water and all of the resources and all of the destruction it takes to get oil out of the earth and into your tank and then burned and put into the atmosphere. Destroying the planet for generations to come. It's no small messed up. Probably that you just can't comprehend.

@@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry Right. Gas cars explode all the time. And these Li-Ion batteries grow on trees. No environmental costs associated with their manufacture. No child slaves toiling in Congolese cobalt mines. Give me a break.
@@HawkGTboy lithium iron phosphate batteries don't use cobalt. That's what's in every Tesla Model 3 Standard Range for almost a year now. No one said these vehicles didn't depend on resources, but they are mined once and fully recyclable at the end of their lifecycle. In comparison, you extract oil, process it, burn it, and do it again. All while filling the atmosphere with air poison and the earth with ground poison. Break the cycle, with one last push, this planet can stop being limited by major fossil fuel companies and the energy they monopolized for a hundred years.
We should ban and keep using tested gas cars
Maybe we should be like liberals and break the windshields and puncture the tires of EVs if we see one?
Yeah, ban all combustion vehicles so the world can finally be done with the stone age.
As Furio from the Soprano's would say about electric vehicles; "Stupida fucking idea."
Agreed and I love the Sopranos! :-)
You know how i fight electric vehicle fires?? I'll never buy one!!😂😂
20,000 to 40, 000 gallons of precious water... Who's going to pay for that!... I hope the insurance companies... And how about the dangerous chemicals to the environment that's also been used to put these fires out.. they're supposed to be extremely dangerous for the environment...
Which not only be life-threatening for the responders, but also the manpower and the time to put one of these fires out...
Someone tell how would these stupid electric cars gonna survive the hot weather. I live in a country that is 120°f most of the year
They're not.
Going to? They don't catch fire because of ambient temperatures. They catch fire because people run red lights.
Nope! No ma'am!
An EV is not a car, it's a mobile crematorium...
Lithium reacts exothermically with water. EVs are a terrible idea.
Well. I'm just going to say that since the government likes to push EVs in the market. I wonder what would happen if everyone including car companies ignored the government rules
I interviewed a top energy expert on my home page vid. He warns EV conversion will not happen and oil can never be replaced.
Considering what the EPA officials, other bureaucrats, and allied green activists have been saying, in waves, since the agency's inception in 1970, the aim isn't to clean up cars but to get people out of their cars and into mass transit.
The government leverage for EVs, and subsequent corporate submission to pressure and market trends has shifted hundreds of billions of dollars away from conventional transport R&D, and toward experimenting with long-abandoned, arcane, novelty transport (EVs) with the blind hope for miracles (if they build them, they will come).
The results promise a gutted conventional transportation market as traditional manufacturers stumble and/or completely fail, followed by the inevitable financial exposure suffered by citizens (primarily low and middle-income taxpayers) forced or compelled to publicly "invest" in and build EVs and EV infrastructure in reaction to government edicts. Ultimately, all such government edicts come with much higher costs.
For the green activists, failure of traditional markets is a political (not environmental) win-win: we'll all either be driving EVs (highly unlikely), or the aftermath will yield more government control opportunities as Americans suffer intense weakening of their buying power, putting private transportation out of reach for everyone but the wealthy and political class.
The government push for EVs is a ruse for mass transit.
Love to see the boondoggle being exposed.
So rather than buy a Tesla, I just set 30,000 dollars on fire.
Sounds right, somewhere between $20-$30k spent on burning fuel to get the gas car to go 250k miles.
I blame Joe Biden and new green deal. The liberals are the blame in Austin,tx. Need to vote all them out
People are being scammed, but you'll never convince them of it. They'll have to learn for themselves.
Vote the liberals out!!
Lemme guess, you had trouble coloring in the lines as a kid.
Have Elon pay for all the water. ..
Wao too dangerous
Just the beginning. EV fires cannot be readily extinguished and they burn with violence, and emit fumes of toxic metals. Lithium Lung, Cobalt Kidneys, and Nickel-sludged nerves. If you live in a condo with an attached garage, the added weight will cause collapse, and the resulting fire from damaged batteries will feed on other batteries and broken gas tanks, while fire fighters can't even get close.
They waste 20% of energy on each recharge, and the recharge depends on 85% carbon sources. Their toxic metals are strip mined by children in Africa.
When they crash, their weight causes twice the damage.
They are not a serious solution to any known problem.
Who would have thought EV could also be classified as External Combustion Vehicles ?
Bring back steam engines using EV batteries as fuel
Imagine your tesla catch on fire in your garage. House gone. Hell if a home with multiple teslas are parked next to each other catch on fire thats 50,000 gallons of water needed to put it out too

40k gallons just to put 1 electric vehicle fire. progress
ua-cam.com/video/ZWoF14cw0PE/v-deo.html
Yeah, you can prevent it don’t buy one EV from solve no more EV fires fixed
EV lithium battery cars suffer from SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION. Thermal runaway makes fires almost impossible to extinguish,
Ban EV’s
do not buy EV. i bought tesla and it caught fire and my whole family died. i was lucky to escape
Saudi aramco made 42.4 billion profit in 2022 Q3
And convinced people that is the only and best way
Jeez. These EVs are definitely not safe at all.
This video brought to you and sponsored by big oil companies to prevent the disruption of gas vehicles going the way of the dinosaurs
We all know gas cars are much more likely to burn.
What about Hybrid Vehicles, which run on battery to run the motor and combustion engines ?
How about we stop trying to reinvent the wheel?
It's been proven in studies lately that there isn't ANY benefit of using electric vehicles-
Can't people understand when the government tries to force something onto the populous- it isn't to "help us"??
It's all a money grift.
So ev supposed to help the environment this not looking good
The use of electric vehicles is the arrival of disaster.
EV fires loom large.
The use of electricity is to blame for extreme climates.
You know it takes 4kWh of electric to refine a gallon of gas?
@@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry you know it took Million gallon of gas to dig up cobalt and graphite, not to mention the transport with plane
@@iszaLe and it is infinitely reusable.
Gasoline requires more energy, money, pollution, geopolitical influence, and can only be used once, then it's burned and further pollutes the atmosphere...
Did you consider these things?
@@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry reusable? do you see some of them getting re used after catching fire?
@@iszaLesource: Trust me, I’m credible
Why aren't they using glass power to put out EV fires
I hate Elon Musk!
Ohhhh no but EV cars are safe and cleaner!!!!!!!! Yeah sure!
I interviewed a top energy expert on my home page vid. He warns EV conversion will not happen and oil can never be replaced.
Effective and safe.
No adverse effects.
2035 firefighter get more work for ev car. and firefighter no need truck ev.
Ilus has water mist technology that can put the fires out with less water 💧

It’s good that we have Elon Musk, without him we would not be so happy, and without the green agenda with various green energy from which it will be very cold this winter
98k EV fires and no one cares
900k petrol fires and no one cares
Sorry but the comments here are pathetic - wow these are so much more dangerous than gas cars 😂😂🤦♂️ no they aren’t but if the battery pack catches fire they are hard to put out. Let’s compare that to a petrol car - if the fuel tank catches fire - ohh wait it explodes and destroys itself and everything around it 😂😂🤦♂️
You can't blame them. The "news" that put this package together intentionally tried to bring out the knee jerk reactions, by omitting a lot of facts that would otherwise educate the public. They're just working for big oil since they're probably the largest advertising group.

You're sooo delusional 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

EVs are huge FAILURES. Only suckers bought em.
Sodium does not catch fire not even when punctured shot or overcharged or heated!! They are already out and have the same wright to power density!! Slightly fluffier!!
Sodium metal burns in air what are you talking about😂
So what's the take away from this? Just use proper equipment, and your electric vehicle won't spontaneously catch fire?
And they want these to save the environment
Yeap imagine this in a area near a very dry forest..... It would be EV fire + huge brush fire of acres and acres of land. But hey at least we won't be polluting the planet with out CO2 emission vehicles (sarcasm intended).
@@lovethief660 The biggest CO2 polluters on the planet, both figuratively, and literally are volcanoes. How do you stop one of those from erupting, especially a super volcano like Yellowstone, or Toba, if they pop off before our lifetime? And let's not forget big asteroids that have hit Earth, and caused mass extinctions, that will hit the planet again in the future. Plus you also have the Sun, which shoots big solar flares at us from time to time, which affects our climate as well. Try finding a way to control the Sun.
When it comes to the climate, human activity is way down on the scale of things that could wipe out the environment, the planet, and the human race. There are plenty of things both below, and above the Earth that'll possibly destroy us, before any gas powered vehicle will.

Go Green!
I assume you're a BOT or irrational liberal, so thumbs down.
@@1940limited I assume you are uneducated. He is not a bot.
How green 😂😂
being hit with masive amounts of radoations gamma ray burst its begun the roar will beginbe
EV’s
= Exploding Vehicles.. 😮
And that IS another thing...chargers. Super high amperage. Incredibly dangerous. Electric cars are definitely "a" solution. Lithoum Batteries are not. Any energy storage cell that can make a heavy electric car go (and most of them are fast) will always have a physics challenge in being able to safely contain that amount of stored energy. It's an inherent danger. Maybe superconductive at room temperature capacitors will help but, even then there is still a tremendous amount of energy being stored then discharged. Fusion will be the true solution. We'll leave the solar system with that tech.
These EV fires are NOT rare
