@alexnicolaou3579, much as I’m not a fan of EV’s, your irrational fear is foolish, and absurd. Airplanes crash. I’m sure, with your irrational thought process would rather swim across the Atlantic, rather than take a flight.

@@alexnicolaou3579so you’re happy to be next to a diesel Range Rover that’s caused at least two major fires recently, but you’re not happy to be next to a Tesla that’s statistically one of the safest cars and the least likely to catch fire? Have you thought this through?
I remember, after truck cath fire from seized brake in Eurotunnel , they have installed thermal imaging cameras at the entry to the tunnel to check if there is no smeltering fire somewhere. Looks like, whoever designed fire systems for this car park is not old enough to remember it. Or remembers, but is optimistic about what may happen if thousands of cars will be packed in one place.
They say it is to dangerous to recover the intact cars on the lower floors and they will be destroyed as the car park is demolished , I hope that owners will be able to recover personnel effects from them as the work progress's or a more sensitive recovery plan becomes apparent as demolition takes place.
Even if an EV didn't start the fire once one catches fire it undergoes thermal runaway producing a fire that cannot be put out by water or fire extinguishers. This is why EV insurance is skyrocketing as insurers wake up to this reality.
Could you be more wrong. 1) EVs don’t have a plastic petrol tank and it’s really hard to make them catch fire unless there is physical damage 2) you can extinguish the flames of a battery fire easily with water, you do need to keep cooling batteries for longer to avoid recognition 3) all insurance is going up, due to inflation and changes in regulation, nothing specific to EVs.
YES IT CAN! Steel loses its structural integrity and strength at around 1,400 degrees C. That's not very high in an uncontrolled fire involving fuel from 1400+ cars, plastics and other flammable materials in the make up of the vehicles.
@@stetomlinson3146 First of all: normal temperature of burning fuel is enough for steel to lose its structural integrity and strength but not enough to actually *melt* it. Secondly I was being sarcastic, as steel doesn't need to melt for a steel structure to collapse.

Allegedly it Wasn't an electric vehicle that started the fire.. but its entirely possible that there will have been many electric cars in there.. and hence... here we are..
very uncommon - only in the sporty cars (Porsches, Ferraris etc) and even then it's usually an optional extra not as standard. The car involved was a diesel car from 2014. It has a normal lead acid battery and was not a hybrid.
Ordinary Lead Acid batteries in cars can go on fire too, all the panic over EV batteries is laughable as cars went on fire for other faults anyway. Speaking from experience with an old Porsche 944 of my own catching fire while driving.
@@tomsixsix Id love to see your proof, the violent flames look like they are coming from a hybrid battery, it would be located up front as shown in other video's. Who in their right mind leaves a car on fire in an airport multi storey car park, Privalidged Id say.

Clearly an electric vehicle that started it. But they won’t admit to that cos if they do that’ll put even more people off buying electric in an already ailing car market. Saying it was a diesel is simply ludicrous. Can’t believe they think we’re that daft.
I have to say I've never seen a burnt out transit van at the sidd of the motorway. Oh wait, what am I talking about. I've seen dozens of burnt out diesels. So far I haven't seen a burnt out EV.
Who are 'they' who won't admit it it was an electric car that caught fire? If 'they' are so desperate to sell electric cars, how come Rishi Sunak has just put back compulsory purchase of electric cars by 5 years?
Holy sht! Had no idea it was that bad. That is ridiculous. This 50 year old UK infrastructure is such bad quality and has terrible safety measures. How could they lose the whole parking lot?!
The heat buckled and melted rebar, pulverised concrete. Thats not normal fire, lithium batteries produce heat like that. Modern cars are also heavier by far than the carparks were designed for. Dont use them, if you value your car and lives.
There will be more fires like this as the percentage of cars with lithium batteries increase The initial cause is relevant (petrol, diesel brake fluid etc.) but when it spreads to batteries that are self sustaining in combustion there is no practical way of preventing it spreading to other vehicles nearby. The.Freemantle Highway car transporter fire ended up writing off the ship and the majority of the 3000 cars on board. Enclosed car parks, car ferries and the Channel Tunnel are all vulnerable because the regulations and fire precautions has not kept pace with the consequences of EV fires and probably won’t until there is significant loss of human life.
...but with the Freemantle, you omit that the majority of EVs onboard survived the fire, they were several levels below the incident floors. Only a couple of EVs were destroyed on board the Freemantle. Fires can spread perfectly well on car transporters, nothing to do with EVs.
@@tomsixsix The number of EVs destroyed is irrelevant. The point is petrol and diesel fires can generally be extinguished by conventional means such as sprinklers and fire extinguishers. Lithium batteries cannot. Once fire spreads to a vehicle containing fully charged lithium batteries it is are self sustaining and can only be kept cool by huge amounts of water or be left to burn out. Fire Regulations, especially maritime ones need updating to take account of fires spreading to, not necessarily caused by, electric vehicle or vehicles containing large lithium batteries.
@@Deepthought-42 Lithium batteries just need a lot of water to extinguish, yes more than ICE car fires but you act as if they can never be extinguished. The reality is that EV fires occur at a much lower rate, according to the data from Norway, around 1/20th the rate of conventional cars. Many of those fires will be arson or as a result of a collision too. A spontaneous fire when stationary is extremely rare. We don't even know how the fire on Fremantle occurred; it could have been in one of the cars, but equally, it could have been something on the ships decks like an electrical equipment malfunction, or a careless staff member with a cigarette. EV fire risk can also be decreased by keeping the battery at a low state of charge, this is now universal practice in transport. A Li-Ion battery at 10% in storage mode poses significantly lower risk of fire. ANY fire on a ship transporting cars is a disaster - regardless of whether it is electric vehicles or petrol/diesel vehicles. It most likely requires the ship to be immediately abandoned and it does become an environmental disaster. The only way around this would be to scale down the size of the ships so that they only transport 100 vehicles or thereabouts at once so the damage from any one ship is limited. But the reality is insurance companies aren't that nervous about these yet and aren't arguing for smaller ships or less EVs.
