    Brilliantly explained. What I find so troubling is the fact that all this was known about from the very beginning, yet they still cared on to but the technology on the roads . So now we have an industry stuck between a rock and a hard place , not withstanding the practicality of the vehicles . Thank you again for bringing this to a wider audience .

      You are ten times more likely per mile driven to have your gasoline powered car catch fire than an EV. Your gas tank with just three gallons in it it contains more energy than a fully charged Tesla Model Y battery and can explosively release that energy in a small fraction of the time it takes an EV battery to combust. Gasoline is scary stuff, although admittedly it is _much_ easier to extinguish than an EV battery once it is on fire.

      It's crazy to me that the rush to go green has meant the dropping of safety requirements that have been built over decades of vehicle manufacture. Lithium ion is an unsafe chemistry that has been allowed whilst we wait for solid state alternatives. In the mean time fires caused by battery thermal runaway are seen but we are told, ICE cars catch fire too , like that is a good reason to sit on a potential bomb that may just randomly explode because of a battery fault. To me, that doesn't sound "sustainable".

    About a year ago or so, there was a rain event in Florida and many EVs got too wet. For the next week after the rain had stopped, there were several fires as the batteries failed. Don't know if water or moisture seeped into the batteries, or if something shorted them out and caused them to drain too fast, over heat, and ignite. I suspect moister got into the batteries because it took a few days before they started igniting. If they were shorted out, I'd expect them to ignite while still wet.
    At any rate, California is getting a rain event right now. The story writes itself at this point. On a positive note, most of us enjoy fire works, so it's reasonable to assume that we'll consider these EVs to be just as pretty.

    One of my friends had a lithium battery from one of his radio control cars "pop" and start on fire in his garage. He used a shovel to throw it out into the driveway.
    I told him to put his RC car in a plastic bin in the middle of the yard, 20 feet from any structure, and run an extension cord to it when charging.
    He didn't listen.
    A couple weeks later, he heard a "pop" in his infant son's bedroom. He ran in and grabbed the child out of the crib as flames shot out of the closet. His house was burned beyond repair. Luckily they both made it out alive.
    If he hadn't had the previous experience and instantly identified the "Pop" sound, and known what it was and what it meant, his son would have died. Had he been asleep at the time, they could have both died.

      @@bestrenderings796 I have not personally heard of cell phone batteries blowing up or even starting on fire. I have read about it on the internet.
      The potential is there if the battery is damaged or if it is charged or discharged too quickly. Anything that causes the battery to overheat is a potential problem.
      One thing most people don't know is that you should never charge a lithium battery if it is below freezing. Apparently, lithium batteries grow crystals inside, when they are charged below freezing. IF the crystals grow big enough they will short the battery causing a fire.
      I had two massagers that had two different voltages. I plugged the massager that used 15 volts into the charger that was 19 Volts. After a couple hours, the massager battery popped, throwing bits of hot metal out.
      Luckily it was sitting on a hard metal surface so it didn't damage anything else. Both chargers had the same size plugs and fit the other.

      There are six types of cathodes for Li-Ion batteries. Three of which are employed commonly in EVs. One of them is LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate), which I would consider the only reasonably safe variant. But LFP is rarely chosen, because of its low power density. The other two (NMC and NCA) have a much higher power density but are also much more dangerous. Dr. Christensen is talking about the importance of education. It would indeed help to include the distinction of different Li-Ion battery types in that education. EVs with LFP batteries should not be subject to the same restrictions as the other types. What I don't know is if the response to a unlikely LFP fire should be the same as NMC and NCA. Does it release the same amount of gas? Can it also undergo thermal runaways if the conditions are ripe for it? Or is inherently save and self-extinguishing?

    Glad to find stuff like this and see that not everyone is ignoring the dangerous that comes with lithium batteries in cars and other storage systems. For the past 5 years I have tried a few times to bring up issues with the batteries and also the lack of updating of building codes both for residential and commercial building. But 100% of politicians and even people in the building industry so far have no idea on the issues and dangours they pose still and given the massive rush to ban ICE around the world this will end up causing a lot of deaths and massive insurance costs because the battery tech is not safe for mass use and the infrastructure is not suitable for it. When I park in a multi story carpark or underground carparks and spot electric cars I go park outside even if the weather is crap. Also one simple fix would be on cars to have an emergency battery water deluge system that firefighters can hook a hose too and then pump water directly into the battery pack. It's a minor design change on the battery pack and then the hose connection to the outside of the car behind a flap just like opening up the fuel door and pumping fuel this simple fix means firefighters open/break open the water deluge flap/cover and then hook up a hose and then pump water directly into the pack to then control the fire and cool the pack. Regulators around the world need to work together to design (With emergency groups that have to use any system) the right type of system and connections and also rules on location of the port opening and so on. Also one other thing is location in cars for battery packs. Some do it right with the pack at least separated from the inside of the car yet other rushed to market electric cars that often where based on ICE designs place the packs inside the cabin eg under the rear passenger seats with little to protect the people inside the car from the packs if they decided to go up. Seeing how powerful and fast they can blow up that then means everyone inside the cabin is now at risk of severe burns but also long term lung damage and even eye damage from the toxic off gassing. Why and how manufacturers thought this type of design was a good idea is beyond me but then when regulators are all clueless then the rules are not there and all manufactures will try and take the cheapest solutions in this mad rush to meet deadlines set by clueless politicians and all other clueless regulators.

      re: "Some people here are commenting that new battery tech is the answer." some people are suffering from Cognitive Dissonance (so they'll say anything to make themselves feel better). yeah, now let's read from the Wikipedia on how this works:
      "A person who experiences internal inconsistency tends to become psychologically uncomfortable and is motivated to reduce the cognitive dissonance. They tend to make changes to justify the stressful behavior, either by *ADDING NEW PARTS TO THE COGNITION* causing the psychological dissonance (rationalization) or by avoiding circumstances and contradictory information likely to increase the magnitude of the cognitive dissonance..."
      translation: this means a person will not only tell LIES to themselves...? but will also readily tell LIES to others (since they convinced themselves that they are sincere and truthful and thus NOT telling lies).

      Li-FePO4 batteries are not new. They have been around for many years. ( F1 used them in 2009.) It is true that they are much less likely to suffer thermal runaway and should not catch fire. Many motorsport cars (including mine) with ic engines use them as 12V batteries to save a lot of weight c.f. lead-acid types. They have been bypassed by road vehicle manufacturers because their specific energy (joules/kg) is lower than chemistries like Li-NiMnCo. However Li-FePO4 batteries maintain their performance over many charge/discharge cycles and hold charge extremely well. So I agree that they are probably the safest bet albeit with reduced range for a given battery weight.

More recently (after a number of fire/ explosion events in China) Tesla have switched for that market to LFP. In Europe most, if not all, OEMs are still on NMC chemistry which gives the best range for a given battery mass. We actually own a 120Ah i3 and have considered the risk carefully. So far in the uk just one i3 has caught fire. BMW have engineered an excellent BMS and actively control battery temperature. We only use a home charger 240V at 30A, never a commercial fast charger.

    As an EV car owner and lover this is a good video to watch. I don't own a drive way and if I did I'd park my car slightly further away from house after watching this video. In a way the visuals of thermal runaway make sense as my car battery can hold up to 64kw (usable, more actual), if I stood in front of 64x 1kw heaters I think bad things would happen as well. Huge power numbers.
    I do agree that home battery storage probably shouldn't exist as long as it has the potential to do that. I'm more a fan of using the car battery as the home energy storage - at least it's a bit safer that way. There is a lot of research and upcoming new batteries that are a lot safer and I think the industry does realise this.
    One sidenote is ICE cars do catch fire: I don't know the numbers but did see an ICE car fire about 5 years ago on the hard shoulder, only just happened maybe 2 mins before, but was well on fire, during summer, within that time it had also caught the fence, tree and field on fire, fire brigade were about 1/2 mile away while I was driving past on the other side. No mention of it anywhere in any news. How often does that happen? And what are the common causes of a random ICE fire while driving along? I guess it's not news if it happens all the time..

We shouldn’t wear those polyester fleece and puffer jackets, but we do.
      There’s no question that EV batteries are highly inflammable when damaged but EV batteries like those in a Tesla has a Battery Management System (BMS)to regulate charging and temperature control to prevent thermal runaway, unless it has been physically punctured. That can’t be compared to an E-Scooter, these do not have BMS. Not all lithium batteries are the same or made the same either. Fires do happen even with gas cars, in fact there has been a lot of fires with gas vehicles and many deaths too.That doesn’t mean we should also not drive gas vehicles right? So education of firefighters and users and general public of lithium batteries fires is required like all new technologies introduced. Not many of us will give up our lithium batteries operated mobile phones, our computers and tablets etc. We need lithium batteries, the issue is how they are made, maintained and used.

      genetically better population is being replaced with one that is more likley to be less loyal to each other and more loyal to selfish elites, and even they probably will be replaced with others, until theres noone left except the elites and few servants. so even hybrid seems useless. so overpopulation isnt a problem so running out of materials by over use probably wont happen. can you prove climate change is caused by human caused co2 or that its just milkovitch cycle of earths magnetic field tilting etc causing stuff like the usual natural ice ages etc? also see blackgrock esg score and their climatechnge talk, and see how they promote nonsense with ot of money, see colbert report "how blagroc conquered theworld" etc . . about climat change, see tony heller, tom nelson, suspicious observers, youtube chanels. i haff to talk like this znezorshp reasons
      to understand why so much nonsense if happening (in lot more ways than only car) see corbetts explaantion of climate crisis , "blackrock conauqered the world", federal reserve etc . ivor cumins, tony heller, magentic reversal news. vocational science of freedom how yoru assets are stolen from birth on odysee, yandex insteadfgoogle, , western governers university . "divine speech" by nouman ali khan and sharif randhawa tries to understand why to become muslim , as it is what the troublemakers seem to counter most.

    Lithium Titanate and Lithium Sulfur chemistries do not go into thermal runaway. Toshiba have videos demonstrating this.

    I understand that F-500EA is effective against Li-Ion battery fires, and I see you used it on one of your suppressant tests. What was your experience with it please?

    Then comes toxic particle contamination on equipment and surroundings. Then downwind toxic particle fallout on people, homes, schools, parks, etc.

      Really. What about the vastly greater toxic particle pollution from the use of ICEs. Please put thinking cap on before opening mouth.

    I'm mostly agreeing with Paul, but not entirely. We've had a garage fire right across the street. It was in the back of the garage and the fire brigade DID GO IN! I'm Dutch. Our fire fighter ALL wear breathing apparatus. I'm a certified fire fighter myself. We don't work without 'air'. Where in a lot of countries around the world fighting a fire only means putting water on the outside of a building, we have a long history of going in and fighting the source. For the garage fire, there was made use of a special remte controlled vehicle to go in, locate the fire and drag the car out. If it had been an EV, it would have been put in a water filled container and left there until the batteries were safe to remove.
    So there are specialized ways to fight ICE and EV fires, but they take a different approach and very well trained fire fighters.
    For the rest I agree with Paul fullheartedly. If fly RC planes and use LiPo's for that reason. The small batteries I use (12-16V at 2-4kWh) can survive quite an impact, but IF they go, they go hard!

      ya, DC power sources (e.g. batteries) can be dangerous stuff.
