   EV lithium ion battery fires are hell on earth. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

   Look at the studies and statistics. EV catch fire FAR FAR less than gas cars. This is the media taking things way too far. As per usual. Take it from someone who works for an EV company. The consumer needs to be educated. Typically it’s human error/behavior that causes these fires, not the cars themselves. People don’t realize that batteries are the future. Not just in cars. For literally everything. Carbon neutrality depends on battery technology more than ANYTHING. They will figure it out. Quite literally all of humanity is trying to figure it out. Some American, or Japanese or European will have a massive breakthrough and change the world.

   EV fires are very simple to get under control. Just Fire blanket over car, in minutes the fire is fully under control. All specialist and professional fire departments know this. Statistics of EV fires please!

   I would suggest reformulating a fire-barrier caulk to make it sprayable in an extinguisher of sorts. It would not only cutoff oxygen supply, a necessary element for fires, but aid in containment of the toxic fumes. Perhaps even encasing the batteries in the same at the time of manufacture. Whether these suggestions are feasible, well, that’s for the professionals to determine? I’m just your common idiot.

   EVs need better battery compartment isolation. Instead of integrating it into the frame of the car, it needs a fireproof compartment.

   At least we are saving the planet with EVs. But wait, are we? really?

   It is because they have giant batteries in them which are nothing more than electrochemical bombs made up of sometimes thousands of component cells, all waiting to go off at the slightest hint of a problem and spread the party to all their neighbours.

   EV's are not the future. They are a government mandated money grab. They are only good as a second vehicle. No one who buys them has it as their primary car. In the future people will look back and ask what were they thinking? The batteries are also unsustainable and extremely expensive to replace.

   because Lithium Ion are NMC Nickle Magnesium Cobalt which catch fire NOT LIFEPO4 Lithium Ion Phosphate wich is safe

    Interesting stats on vehicle fire risks! The data, based on U.S. figures from a study in 2020, shows EVs have the lowest fire risk at just 0.025% (25 fires per 100k vehicles). Hybrids are highest at 3.474% (3,474 fires per 100k), with ICE vehicles at 1.529% (1,529 fires per 100k). Though EV fires are harder to extinguish due to lithium-ion batteries, they occur much less frequently than fires in ICE and hybrid vehicles. A crucial insight into vehicle safety!

    Has any city ever considered the registration of evs so the location of these vehicles is known during a fire? Or is our insurance premiums going to continue to rise as house are burnt and people are injured or killed by these?

    Looks like this will help with global warming and Climate change…..nothing keeps you warmer Than have a vehicle that will spontaneously ignite on a moment notice for no apparent reason…..lets make sure those seat belts work and they have those air bags….and you get that door function failure when the fire happens…..hope everyone has made it out before it gets bad …..dont park close to other vehicles or buildings……now carry-on nothing to see here 😅

    In other words let's have a few 100,000 more fires before they figure out if it's bad or good. Wonder how many deaths that'll cause.

    Government doesn't care if you lose your home from the EVS as long as they push these junk on you. In Florida at a Tesla dealership when a new Tesla caught fire in the last two weeks

    There is nothing "undeniable about it". All it takes is for the population not to buy them and this is happening as we speak. I wouldn't have one charging in my garage or beside my house for that matter. Anyone who does gets what they deserve for being either uninformed or in denial of the risk. I have no sympathy for them. The technology is not ready and once again humans are part of an ongoing experiment.

    There is a simple solution for consumers in dealing with EV battery fires – don't buy one until they use batteries that are really safe following accidents, corrosion or age. It is only a matter of time before there is a major tragedy caused by an EV battery fire. The recent EV fire at Luton Airport demolished a £20 million new car park by melting the steel structure and destroyed 1500 parked cars as well as polluting the local environment. Fortunately no one was hurt but consider this happening in the underground car park of a residential or office tower block in the heart of London or other major city as it certainly will unless the sales of these mobile crematoriums is halted.

    You want to save the planet? Then ride a bike! Bikes were and they always will be the best means of transportation! They are cheap, good for your health because it is exercise, they can park literally everywhere, produce no gas emissions because they are powered by muscle power and obviously they don't catch fire well unless it's an ebike.

    Electric Cars are not the solution to save the planet. It's only a way for car manufacturers to sell more cars and get more money from the consumer than ever. EVs are simply not the solution but an added problem to the already existing problems of climate change.

    Yes not only do these fires destroy the surroundings they are in but also produce a great deal of extremely toxic gases and that also includes the water that is used to put them out. I feel concerned for the fire fighters that have to deal with these wretched vehicle fires as opposed to dealing with an internal combustion vehicle which can be put out reasonably simply and unlikely to reignite minutes to days after the original thermal runaway. You also have to consider that EV fires burn at much higher temperatures than a conventional internal combustion powered vehicle.
