We got rid of our EV, just wat too dangerous for me and my family. We're loving our new gas car
How was your ev “dangerous”
😂
@@iCozzh young unknowing buyers are an easy sell !
If it's Lithium or Lithium base or like most rechargeables.. Beware !
Here you go, in plain English
Lithium batteries are regulated as a hazardous material under the U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 C.F.R., Parts 171-180).
Exposure to Lithium can cause loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. ► Lithium can cause headache, muscle weakness, twitching, blurred vision, loss of coordination, tremors, confusion, seizures and coma.
@@batterylabs4187 😂. Better worry about the 15 billion mobile phones in the world then which people hold to their ear and hold regularly.
@@batterylabs4187 You’re talking about raw exposed lithium , not an ev you pleb.
If something is that good, you don't need subsidiary money. Especially as its taxpayers money.
The fossil fuel industry is heavily subsidized.
So you are OK to pay full price for your fuel? No oil subsidies, no fighting foreign wars to secure your fuel?
@@NaughtyGoatFarm What do you consider "full price" for fuel? Are you considering the enormous proportion of tax on it? And no, we shouldn't be fighting foreign wars for fuel. Nor should we be taking advantage of slave children to acquire the cobalt required for EVs.
@@TheSpuggiehawk you do realise Cobalt is used in the production of fossil fuels? And that there is Cobalt in the phone or laptop you are using?
@@NaughtyGoatFarm are you an idiot there are no subsides on oil/fuel it's taxed like crazy. If you are talking about any tax breaks the government gives out that shit is BS corpo deals and has no effect on the price of crude. Oil for most countries is put into a global pool with all countries purchasing it from that pool for the same price hence you will often hear along with stocks and gold a price per barrel. Also most of our fuel is imported, most of our refineries have been shutdown so we can't refine enough for deemand here.
Just when you thought that EV fires are the worse... Vaporcloud explosion! Get these hideous, evil, toxic, glorified forklift gadgets off the roads and charge the manufacturers for the cleanup costs!
In many ways a fire is preferable. There are some words I never thought I'd say but at least it minimises the chance of an explosion. Unreal.
It's the governments that should be charged for the clean up costs as it is they who forced manufacturers down the EV route.
@@zm321 The government will be happy to grant fat contracts to the same bunch who got their billions for all the other misled initiatives. These only make national economies poorer. That wealth is our wealth. Make the manufacturers pay for the damage and hold the government to account, I’d say.
Go run for office, I'll vote for you and get everyone else in my family to do the same!
@@ComeJesusChrist Ultimately governments must pay.
I'm a London firefighter and I hate EV's. Partly because of the difficulty in extinguishing the damn things. But also because I don't have any money & therefore don't have a driveway. I couldn't charge one up without getting ripped off by a public charge point. Hopefully I'll be able to continue buying petrol cars for a long time to come, my preferred technology by a long way.
From your POV, is it easier to put out an ICE fire than an EV fire?
@@emilschw8924 pretty much every report clearly shows ice fires are easier to put out and keep out EVs are not just harder to put out but even when you are certain they are out they can still re-ignite again.
@@emilschw8924 you know you don't even need to ask that. ask any experienced firefighter what they think to EVs and it will be the same. last time i spoke to one was when i did a fire marshal refresher. he wasn't just dishing out his opinions, he was warning us of new dangers in the workplace, at home and all around us. every fire marshal course i've been on has been like this, where they talk and ask about your home situation i.e. do you have a smoke alarm, how many electrical adaptors do you have etc. this was the first one that got me thinking about how many lithium batteries there are in my house and around me all the time.
@@emilschw8924 That is my opinion yes. The situation isn't helped by the currently worse understanding or the newer technology, and lack of specialist equipment that would assist with extinguishing EV fires.
@FoppoLeeuwerke One electric bus, two cars and many many electric scooters & electric bicycle conversions. Unfortunately some of latter resulted on injuries and fatalities. They're just very questionable in terms of safe charging and are extremely difficult to put out once they get going, assuming you can't dunk the things in water somehow.
As for the home charging point, I'm just fed up that in London, the one place people are being squeezed out of ICE car ownership is the place it isn't a realistic possibility for most people. Petrol costs what it costs for everyone. The price of charging a car varies wildly, unless you have a big fat house with a driveway. I have a nice flat but no off road parking, so would be getting massively ripped off for electricity should I ever choose to buy or be forced into an EV.
Please end this EV nightmare
Put a lot of energy into a small package, it's a battery. Add some more energy, it's a bomb.
You mean like a petrol tank? Especially as the petrol tank will take you further so contains a lot more energy than the battery! Even more when you consider that the conversion of fossil fuel into work (ie distance travelled) is only about 35^ efficient whereas battery to work is about 90%
@@robertarmstrong3478 You can stuff a rag in a petrol tank and set it alight and the tank won't blow up. The air mixture is wrong, too rich. It's why old carbureted cars could be "Flooded" Can we set a fire under your BEV battery? LOL
And they’ve put these technologies into public transport to it’s only a matter of time before a tragedy happens.
@@jodargoofmaztica5071 My SPV is powered by petrol ⛽️
Not just public but school buses
@@carltaylor5604 Not only that. A number of ferries are now electric and there are plans to expand their use
In a bus, because they happen so fast, how do you get the people out impossible, especially if a double decker 😢
It already happened. Search for Luton incident.
Non of my diesel or petrol cars or motorcycles have ever caught fire. EVs may actually be more polluting especially the batteries.
Without knowing what they dump or emit in mining, manufacturing, running the grid to charge, and disposing of EV's we can't say when if ever they are "greener" than ICE.
You'd need average mileages before knowing anything. If there's a weak used EV market and they get written off or scrapped earlier than ICE cars, they'll be significantly less green, even if they never catch fire!
@@joytotheworld9109I saw a stat that said that you have to do something like 70000 miles in an EV before you equal out the environmental impact of an ICE vehicle just from the manufacturing alone. This doesn’t take in to account the scrapping of both vehicles.
Every 500 grams of synthetic material creates equivolent of 1000 miles of travel of pollution to create
There no may be, the gasses are toxic as well and they pollute the ground water, it's all one big scam, again. How much co2 is required to build new giga factories for cars and batteries, how much co2 is required to retool the entire factory to start making EV's and the mining the shipping of the raw materials, every time we make a massive change to reduce co2 we increase it.
@@emceedoctorb3022 most of the ev goes to landfill!
I just don’t get this race to EV’s, why are we not developing green diesel with 90% less emissions as available in Ireland?
Im in Ireland and what really sends a chill down my spine is the fact that the Chinese ones are being sold here now.
Don't buy them. They are a national security risk.
Errr.. the Chinese have the best cells on the planet.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Gee youre a funny kunt.Stupid,but funny.
@@rogerstarkey5390 they are dangerous mate. Well known for spontaneous combustion.
@@rogerstarkey5390 Yes, China is well renowned for the quality of it's products. When shopping, I always make sure I look for the 'Made in China' hallmark!
The purveyors of these electric death traps tested their contraptions well before hand and still sold them knowing their faults.
a petrol or diesel vehicle is actually much more likely to catch fire yet we all get in those death traps on a daily basis without a care in the world dont we.
@@vincelemon6343An extensive Swedish survey found that an ICE had incident rates of fire of 0.016% against a rate of 0.06% for an EV. That was comparing like for like of fire risk for the percentage of each type of car that are on the road there. So, ACTUAL statistics show EV’s are 4 times more likely to catch fire. The actual numbers are of course less, only because there is a much smaller number of EV’s on the road. Then you need to consider arson is the biggest cause for ICE, insurance jobs mostly. But nobody wants to steal an EV ( nobody wantscthem secondhand ) or set it on fire as the insurance value is at market price, meaning a huge financial loss to wners due to massive depreciation rates.
The other poignant point here is just how hard those EV fires are to extinguish compared to ICE. Isolation bays in breakers yards are filling up and are expensive square footage.@@mellarner8253
You keep covering yourself with that electric comfort fire blanket @@vincelemon6343
@@vincelemon6343 The numbers are irrelevant, though if you research properly, you find that EVs are considerably more likely to catch fire than petrol or diesel vehicles. The important point is that EV fires are more toxic, more destructive, and almost impossible to put out. Whereas a burning petrol or diesel car can be extinguished in minutes, and doesn't release toxic gasses into the atmosphere.
They also say the water used is toxic, but it just goes down the drain.
It's pollution mate.
@@stanleybuchan4610 Yes they are polluting the water system. They are not interested in saving the planet.
In NSW Australia , 2 people died in a house fire just recently, started by an electric scooter .
There have been at least 18 deaths in New York due to electric bike battery fires in apartments.
Not my ideal family BBQ. I'm passing on electric cars.
Have a nice gasoline barbecue instead... Crispy!
@rogerstarkey5390 do they have a name for this religion you have?
real men don't own or drive EV's - chicks car
No thanks to electric cars, JUNK! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I spoke to my local fireman this week, asked him about EVs. They have had the training but do not have the specialist equipment to correctly treat these fires. And the call outs for these fires are on the rise.
Might be considerate and environmentally friendly to check with your local fire dept their status on EVs before buying one.
Great advice.
People don't carry around the SCBA (tank of air) to protect themselves from the toxic gasses. So your attitude is screw everyone else right? Care to elaborate on their training? Other than get everyone away and let it burn.
@@Johndozer I didn't ask what was their training. You can of course ask one yourself. And perhaps read my comment again.
I suspect if this is known by fire services unions will have members withdraw from attending these fires. 🥺
Yes... and completely understandably.
Firemen- sorry firefighters, don’t go near anything dangerous these days. You will get more help from the public.
Everyone driving an EV just don't realise how much danger they are in.
Wrong, they normally buy them for there wives.
actually more risk of fire in a petrol or derv vehicle so much more danger.
These things are very very rare..and if it did happen you will have time to stop, and get out of the car. Batteries don't all catch fire in one go..not like the one big petrol tank you have under your car..
@@vincelemon6343 A fire that is put out in five minutes vs EV fire are you nuts?
@@vincelemon6343- that one's been debunked an ev is actually 4x more likely to self -immolate vs ice, but nice try. Numbers don't factor in deliberately started insurance jobs and twoc which are not insignificant. And let's face it no-one is going for a joyride in an electric sh*tbox.
EV + VCE = Code Brown
The response of the media and politicians to EV disasters: ho hum. Meanwhile, if someone misplaces a wrench in a nuclear power plant there's a major investigation.
Well presented. Clear, concise and to the point. This should be main stream news. But what a surprise it isn't. More ludicrous "net zero" rubbish "swept under the carpet".
how do you want to go? fire, explosion or speeds up to 100mph and won't stop?
You've missed out smashing into something you have not seen because you were looking at a screen trying to find out how to change some setting with the heating and ventilation. NCAP are now noticing this safety hazard.
One of the 'best' clips was the one in the US, where the garage door blew out nearly taking out the firefighter. *EV FireSafe* and *StacheD Training* channels are doing their bit towards first responder awareness and training. Worth a watch, especially the ones on manual door opening from inside the car...
When a car stores enough electrical energy to power my house for 3 to 5 days (80,000 to 120,000 watts) I can't think of a single thing that could go wrong.... LOL
Just remember that the battery vapour cloud explosion risk applies to all large lithium ion battery packs, home solar battery packs, big battery grid support battery packs. Having a bomb on the side of my house, and another in my carport, is not a risk that I'm prepared to take. I haven't seen any reports in the media about people being killed by fire or explosion in ev accidents, but I suspect that the stories are being suppressed
People are fitting them in boats, so if the fire, explosion doesn't kill you the sinking may.
They have been deaths in electric cars and people unable to escape due to electrical malfunctions. Many have had lucky escapes and some have had to kick their way out!!
Great video, simple facts, no hyperbole, no screaming just the truth as it is. Thanks for real news.
Yeah, absolutely bias free, lol.
@@ntr0pic everything he reported was true facts that DID happen. That is not biased.
As an ex auto electrician I had an explosion in my workshop from not vapour but a hydrogen gas build up from charging some batteries on a twenty four volt truck. Fortunately I was not injured by the explosion, sulphuric acid plastic (these batteries had a marble in each cell to aide correct filling level )flew around the workshop creating a massive clean up using a copious amount of baking powder and hot water.
So lead acid batteries?
Completely different.
Bad workshop practices. Nothing else.
There is no marble in any battery mate,what are you on about..
Had an incident like this happen at major buisness not too far from me a couple of years back, think someone almost died when it happened. Learnt from a course that you shouldn't charge a battery powered forklift somewhere without good ventilation at the least in the event of hydrogen build up.
@@kelvin170671There used to be in some older lead/acid batteries as an electrolyte level guide..
There's videos of whole multi carparks going up in an inferno.Caused by e.v.battery charging evplosion.
The real scary part is a lot of modern houses have the garage under a bedroom, so people who charge at home inside a garage under a bedroom. Maybe they should make law that a certain distance between charging point and a building is introduced. The speed from the cloud to explosion is so fast.
How often are the London Fire Service called out to extinguish an ICE fire?
What percentage of ICE vehicles catch fire as opposed to an EV after an accident or just running over debris in the road?
How many ICE vehicles catch fire days or weeks after an accident when they are being stored or at a junkyard like several well-documented cases of EVs?
@@williamegler8771zero because the fuel is removed quite quickly for safety.
Ok, how many? What % of all ICE cars on the road catch fire? Know anyone in the marine industry? They don't want EV's on ferries. Or in tunnels and underground car parks.
@@williamegler8771 US auto insurer surveyed 100k cars & found this: hybrids were the most likely to catch fire, with 3,474.5 instances per 100,000 vehicle sales, followed by ice (1,529.9/100k) and then EV (25.1/100k)
@@iCozzh Anyone who does not understand the difference between an ICE fire and an EV fire is not paying attention. Low probability, high impact risk.
I have firsthand experience of a Lithium battery fire. It was a terrifying experience. You should observe through binoculars about a mile away and upwind.
Don't you know about the Renault Zoe, which doesn't have a sealed floor between the battery and the passengers, thus it first intoxicates them with toxic fumes from the thermal runaway before it disintregrates them in a blazing explosion !
I like your approach. No hype, no drama, humble. Good on 'ya.
See you at Mary Mahoney's, Biloxi, MS in July-August of '24, and maybe at a Crap's Table?
Greetings from Australia. You're spot on , dangerous indeed.
This very issue was seen in a recent video from the USA, when firefighters were called to an ev fire in a garage that was attached to the home, the ev was being charged behind closed garage door, one fireman went into the garage to see what was going on & within seconds there was an almighty explosion with the ENTIRE garage door being blown away off its fixings into the road, quickly followed by the fireman FLYING THROUGH THE AIR..........hospital beckoned !
EV's ARE NOT FOR ME...........GOOD LUCK TO THOSE WITH ONE.......your going to need all the luck, & dont forget to tell the neighbour you have a potential BOMB in the garage.!
There is one simple safety protocol to use involving EVs: DON’T BUY THE TIME BOMBS.
My 84 year old mother summed it up perfectly , she said , we had a great electric system for getting you around the city years ago they were called trams .😂❤
New cars are too expensive now for most working class families , 30 grand is the average for a medium sized car which is ludicrous and only the middle class and upper crust have bought EVs who usually have a second ICE car.
As for going all electric are powerstaion network is 20 years behind where it needs to be,they worry about the grid overloading when everyone puts Christmas lights on let alone the amount of materials needed to construct charging networks across entire countries with all the waste and pollution that causes wth lorry loads of concrete driving around the country to build these things.
One thing you can be sure of is that a select few are still making a lot of money out of this insanity .
I watched another video where an auto body repair shop had a damaged EV catch on fire and cause millions of dollars in damages to the facility and other customer vehicles. The owner of the facility has stated that he will never again work on EV's.
I remember seeing this Jeep going bang a few months ago on another channel, there’s also a video of a Renault Zoe exploding because of vapour emissions- luckily nobody was in it but anyone would have instantly been vapourised if they had been in there. EVs are absolute ticking time bombs,
Politicians just deny there's a problem. Problems with EVs don't fit the narrative.
I don't recall any electric milk floats blowing up
Lead acid
Mate of mine used to work delivering milk in the electric milk floats and just love s pointing out uow decades ago he was driving an electric vehicle almost daily and all they keep saying is how fantastic the new technology is and how they love their EVs.
Who knows maybe they will eventually they wake out of their brainwashed stuper.
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries..@@castlesteve1
And the worst part of all those mind boggling numbers is that that is a best case scenario. As we.
Saw in new york when the temperatures plummet the batteries die. You take.
A truck that would normally take 9 hours throughout a day to charge.And you put it in a cold environment.You're now possibly as much as doubling.The charging time required to keep that truck on the road. As i've said before it's always amazing that the people with the least knowledge of a sugect are making the most decisions
The one petrol car fire I’ve witnessed in last 20 years was caused when the 12V car battery wasn’t secured properly and shorted out. The fire service extinguished the blaze in under 2 minutes. A car was wrecked and its owner learned that battery clamps were needed for a reason. There’s a lot of angry sparky pixies locked up in a battery. Not hard to let them out accidentally. Big batteries are fundamentally dangerous!!
Insurance companies say the 2nd most dangerous profession is being in an American or British tank in Ukraine and the most dangerous being in an EV.
Why is nobody in a place of power listening , is it all about £££££££££ ?
Vapor Cloud Explosions are used in the Mother of All Bombs. These are considered the most powerful military explosive weapons NOT nukes.
Safe and effective! For them who do not take. 😒
First time ive heard about this, so thank you. Some sort of Government Level review on EV's really is needed. Its one thing after another now they've become widespread.
Nothings wrong with evs but firefighters deff need support in dealing with them & better training the odd chance they do burn up as theyre so hard to deal with.
Stop favouring your own agenda.
"Norway, which has the world’s highest proportion of electric car sales, there are between four and five times more fires in petrol and diesel cars.
.
The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency this year found that there were 3.8 fires per 100,000 electric or hybrid cars in 2022, compared with 68 fires per 100,000 cars when taking all fuel types into account.
.
Australia’s Department of Defence funded EV FireSafe to look into the question. It 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 cars*
.
(Wow! Only 1,000 times more likely!!)
.
Despite the increased danger once a battery fire is burning, the probability of being caught in an EV fire appears overall to be much lower than for petrol or diesel cars, based on currently available data.."

As for the London Fire Brigade callouts.
I found a document from them detailing "Lithium battery related fires" between June 2019 and June 2023.
They list a total of 505 fires.
That was all types.
Mainly ebikes (221)
So I looked at the rather extensive list....
The only direct reference to "CAR" detailed "driver/ passenger area and totaled ... 3
.
Other vehicles? 21
.
So I looked Again.
And found an article on energylivenews com detailing a report from
Honeywell Safety and Productivity Solutions which shows that between July 2022 and June 2023, UK fire services recorded 239 fires linked to EVs.
.
Hmmmm.
That doesn't really match "every other day"
.
So I read further... And apparently
"The rapid rise is attributed to the growing presence of EVs on British roads, spanning cars, trucks, e-bikes, and electric scooters"
So ALL EVs.
NOT just cars.
.
THAT matches the London Fire Brigade Data.
.
Nothing like jumping to conclusions, is there?
.
I might actually walk down to my local fire station, (only 500m away) and ask... *since I'm in London*
@@iCozzh
I have a suspicion they hit the vehicle at a high level.
.
Thinking about it logically, if there's a breach, it's going to be ONE cell which fails, then heats adjacent cells.
I know the latest Tesla packs vent downwards, so what's needed is an upward firing system under the vehicle to cool the damaged cells and those around it.
Filing the cabin with water does nothing.
.
It's understandable, since rolling up to a petrol vehicle fire, the danger is that it's well advanced and the vehicle interior is burning.
(Note... Plenty of toxic gasses there!)
Lung damage inhaling toxic fumes
Thanks for sharing.
I'm even more against EVs now than I was. For years, I have been saying imagine a motorway pile up involving these things, absolute carnage.
There are other ways to have "green" cars and this just isn't it for me.
Thank’s for the post. No Government Authorities or Councils think things through any more…….. Perhaps George Galloway, has this on his adgenda for desperately needed changes to this country.
Very scary. Thanks for the nightmares.
Saw that video little while back. Was a lecture. Frightening. Yet our uk government are still pushing EV. I will never own one. Will consider if the battery tech has changed. But I am getting on in life, I cannot see myself driving in a few years.
In Vietnam Electric bikes or scooters are used by children for the daily school run. During class time the bikes are often parked in the ground floor parking area below the classrooms.
Yikes! That's a disaster waiting to happen.
If ev that good why havent the police and government and councils using them
This is something I had not heard of. It is amazing how corrupted the political and industrial system is; that they would not alert the public to the potential hazards that these types of vehicles posses.
I'll be sticking with my 6.2lt V8. Thank you very much!
Will the insurance companies kill the EV market, by refusing to provide cover?
Never wanted an EV...... definitely not now !
Data from EV FireSafe, which is backed by the Australian Government, states that petrol cars are over 80 times more likely to set on fire than EVs. Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency found in 2022 there was an average of 3.8 fires per 100,000 electric and hybrid cars, and 68 fires per 100,000 cars of all fuel types.
The dangers of vapour clouds (and fine powder clouds) are shocking - some of the most deadly conventional military weapons use use vapour cloud blasts to create a lethal shockwave. Powder and vapour explosions are understood as major industrial and agricultural facilities - and in these contexts the risk of such blasts are recognised by fire authorities.
Another excellent video!
Poison gas is created during the event...
Insurance companies are going to love hiking premiums on cars and the building they are parked in.
Normal safety regulations were ignored because they knew they wouldn't pass, regulators need prosecuting.!
It may be complex but it's also very rare.
EV's, an illogical solution to an imaginary problem.
A Model 3 starts at 40k, The Vauxhall astra starts at 38k. I cant imagine anyone on earth choosing the astra armed with that knowledge.
Yes, but the Astra driver hasnt got to worry about finding a big cable at the motorway services and sitting there like all the Tesla drivers, planning the long journey alll based on charging points.
Please admit we are not yet ready for this. How can HGVs become electric in the UK??

@@phil25051 This one paragraph shows me how catastrophically dense you are. You realise you tell the nav where youre going and in under a second it tells you the quickest way to get there directing you to chargers along the way telling you to charge to X percent (just enough) to get to the next charger as its quicker to charge a lower charged battery.
The charging cable is under the boot floor or in the frunk and isnt needed because the charging station has one.
The average commute in the uk is 20miles meanwhile most evs have range over 300miles, is charging once a week at home for £5 really that difficult of a concept?

@@iCozzh
Let's be fair, there are only *162* Tesla locations in the UK... 😉
Hard for a Muppet with a map to find one, but a Tesla driver only has to press one button and say "find superchargers" (or just navigate... "Anywhere") then the car will show them all, how busy they are now, and as the car gets closer, AND will warm the battery, AND give alternatives.... etc...
@@iCozzh The entire business case for EVs relies on people assigning no value to the time they dedicate to monitoring their vehicle's state of charge, looking for charger locations, driving to them, sitting around waiting to charge, and getting back on their original route. So, unless a person can do all or nearly all their charging at home and they never need to wait around while their car charges, EVs make little financial sense.
And, I don't hate EVs, I actually love the vehicles themselves aside from the limitations of their batteries and the infrastructure to charge them.
Ah, we are all doomed.
Did you see the one shown by @serpentza a Chinese car rocketed 30ft into the air by one of these explosions. Also the Renault Zoe and the Jeep ev have vents straight into the passenger compartments so if it does go cablewy when you are inside, the 10 seconds you would have had to try and get away will be spent choking on toxic fumes. I watched this presentation which was given to the commission on tall buildings where he recommended that no electric scooters or bikes or their batteries should not be brought into or stored close to any tall building.
The people that don't care have financial interests. These things are dangerous.
The funny thing about EV customers is they are in majority leftists or left leaning in their ideology, and in such lack a backbone in tolerating anything that can ramdomly delete them. The more EV accidents become common knowledge and uncensorable, the more they will think twice before acquiring one.
What about this idea: you never know it might be on a random time limit set unknowingly by the owner hours or yrs or totally random times for this to happen to upset western society on battery vehicles to do this !!!🤔🤔
Greed and corruption
There becoming about as popular as a third booster shot
Kinda takes all the fun out of weenie & marshmallow roasting when heat source explodes....... dang
This is comedy genius. It's not the EV's you need to worry about. It's the falling off the edge of the earth or ignition of the Chem trails :D
I wonder what the environmental impact of that vehicle is now.
The most terrifying thing about them is realising you were gullible enough to buy one 😜
The video of the SUV doesn't look like an EV. Don't recognise which EV make or model.
I wonder if the chemicals released/ used in these batteries is getting into the water table during these fire fighting events , never mind the air ! … just a thought
I live in Londo and 2 ev buses caught fire. I'm disabled and use a power wheelchair makes me nervous.
What about LiFePO4 Batteries? They get promoted as having longer lifespan and no/lower danger of explosion?
Wasn‘t Tesla switching to using those batteries?
I can just imagine the adverts in a few years time… “have you been Mis-sold an EV”.? Join our group legal action for help.
I work in process industry and by law we need to protect our components. ATEX. In case our products causes an explosion or fire we have a serious problem. So I dont understand how car manufacturers can get away with all these accidents.
Btw we never had an incident so it is technical no problem. It just cost a lot of money….
We're so compliant next they'll be taxing us for electrical fires. And we'll pay it.
This looks like fabrication.
Hopefully they can improve battery safety.
All of this was known before the great EV scam began and it's very hard to imagine that auto manufacturers thought they would get away with foisting these dangers on the public without eventually paying a huge price in lawsuits and reputational damage. This means you have to look elsewhere than simply the corporate profit motive for the universal push for electric cars, ask who has the power (presumably financial) to effectively order $£€multi-billion corporations around.
I just hope that no fire fighter loses their life because they haven't been made aware of the dangers. I know it's very difficult for people to admit they were wrong or outright lied but no one should be put at risk because of it
If any other vehicle (or home appliance) was having this kind of safety issues, they would be pulled off the market right away. Especially with all the nanny state safety regulations that we have nowadays. These things are a menace to the public in general.
You don't even need to own one of these to fall victim to this kind of thing happening. One of these things goes up in a multi storey car park and hundreds of other cars will go up with it. Possibly even quite a few more EVs too and there could be a serious loss of life if this happens.
If there was no major agenda to force these EVs onto the roads, then we would be hearing a lot more about this from the mainstream media because these things a serious threat to public health and safety but the silence says it all.
EV owners gotta sniff all those lithium to avoid polluting the environment
My god, I didn't realise people are still buying Electric Cars,
Incidentally the perfect voice to describe an Antelope being torn apart by a pride of lions...
I missed the gas fumes so much! Nothing beats the smells of burnt gas coming out of your exhaust, huh? There’s no vibrations of the engines in EVs! No engine noise, I missed all that! Where’s the fun in EVs? Nobody will know you’re coming home, no body can hear you coming! In my old CRV, my neighbour can feel the vibration from my engine, his house will just vibrate too!
I see NCAP are now targeting touch screens in new cars as a safety hazard.
So they should!!! The number of people that you see driving like drunks as they attempt to do whatever with their infotainment systems is staggering. I've got one. I pull over if I need to use anything on it. Steering wheel buttons or nothing. Touch screens should be disabled while the vehicle is in motion. Mazda does it on their Miatas, but strangely, nothing else.
Ev cars, scooters bikes are all HEALTH & SAFETY risks. The bigger the batteries, cars, then trucks and busses, the bigger the explosive risk snd fure risk. Additinally, enclosed areas Flats house garages, attached garages, parking under flats, or parking stations also are a huge explosive & fire risk. Of course, in confined areas cars, buildings fences etc are a high risk of the collateral fire damage too.
Politicians who legislate for this are culpable in any damage injury or death of people and should be handled accordingly by the Juducial system!
they need to get away from the lithiom ion...
Are you sure that wasn't the gas barbeque propane tank the owner kept in the boot?
Since a discharged battery burns less energetically, there needs to be a mechanism that the battery discharges automatically when a fault is detected. Still a difficult situation, but the fire and explosion will be less likely and severe.
Are the UK emergency services being made aware of this? I know police and ambulance crews haven't been, as of yet.
Emergency crews need to think twice before climbing into electric vehicle wrecks to assist victims, if there's any sign of vapours.
Fire brigade are more than aware of the issues with EVs, about vapour homes and about trying to put EV fires out, the issue is a lot of EV fanboys either are not aware or don't want to learn.
