UPDATE: no longer flagged by YT!! 🎉
I have no idea why TH-cam has marked this as “inappropriate” - I am investigating.
My dad used to say. Speak the truth, shame the devil. These days it's Speak the truth, be shamed by the devil.
I'm guessing that YT finds factual information (AKA, the truth) to be offensive, inappropriate and incompatible with its agenda.
More likely TBH, an EVangelist cried foul and YT consoled the poor wretch by flagging your video.
Any opposing or negative views on the climate change narrative = banned / flagged….
- scary = terrified, bad words matter....
Probably an EVangalist not happy with your video and trying to get it deleted by reporting it inappropriate...
Why are TH-cam issuing a warning about this video? Surely this content is promoting public safety? Well done MGUY!
You Tube puts up warnings that goes against anything the WEF, the virtue signaling Nazis are pushing.
That's because TH-cam doesn't care about public safety, they only care about making money out what they're fully invested in. TH-cam obviously have no engineering experience so they can't prove this wrong so that's way they have turned to censorship. they only follow the money.
More replies censored. The toob is afraid of something.
You know your on the right track if utube is censoring😮
Because the truth is hate to those that hate the truth.
And they’re worried about cows farting 🙄
Someone teach eco cultists the Great Plains was FILLED with American Bison for hundreds of years. Funny how indigenous species of beef are now a threat to muh planet.
@@1Electricman I think you should really try calming down!!!
This comment was a perfectly good comparison. It is Suggesting that the powers that be have got their focus wrong if they think the natural gas product of bovines comes anywhere close to concerns about planet damage!!!
You’re welcome x
It's because some cows fart louder and quicker than a ford mustang as they try to run more quickly RRRRRRRRRNNRRRRRRR 😂
They're not worried about cows farting, they're worried about humans eating nutritious food. So, by eliminating cows, they will weaken us physically and intellectually. They want to sedate us with grains and starches.
@@1Electricman A typical human fart is composed of ~59% nitrogen, ~21% hydrogen, ~9% CO2, ~7% methane, ~1% H2S & mercaptans. The sulfur compounds produce the stink.
Manufacturers of such batteries need to be investigated because it is extremely hard to imagine that they were not aware of these toxic dangers!
im pretty sure they are aware but it comes down to
A) if the battery dont receive shocks/damages it can be considered "normal operation" (discharge-recharge)
B) to swap out the specified chemical that releases said gases upon heating up could cost millions and the new chemical might not be so efficient as current. so until the new battery chemical is tested developed again for possible errors/efficiency in smaller form like tablet/phone batteries they will be hard pressed to re tool their entire lineup for EV batteries
C) lots of chemicals can be considered "safe" as in it wont explode/release certain gases on their own, and in certain conditions they can react and combine with others to make dangerous chemicals (there are videos here on youtube explaining how you can make chemical weapons from 1-2$ home cleaning solutions)
All lithium batteries have this chance of failure. My RC cars run on these batteries and have caught on fire.
@@mercdragonsNo, that's completely wrong lithium iron phosphate and lithium titanate do not suffer from thermal runaway.
That is they will not burn vigorously if at all.
It has to do with the cathode material and whether it produces oxygen when decomposing.
Sodium ion also are very hard to get burning.
I used to work for a lithium company in the US. We produced lithium metal and lithium chemical compounds. If a material become problematic we took it to an open place and let it "weather". Sooner or later it would decompose or detonate. In many cases we never new when or how long these reactions took, but we had the time and distance to let it cook off without injuring anyone. We also had a water reaction system that quenched materials and we recycled the lithium containing solutions. I witnessed a very health detonation there one time and was knock off my feet by the shock wave. Twice during my years there we stopped making products that were uniquely dangerous. One detonated if crushed, the other was hyper toxic. The process for the hyper toxic material was sold to an overseas company and product goes into batteries. Knowing what I know about lithium I drive a petroleum fueled vehicle and invest in oil companies.
@@HiwasseeRiver Really? What specific chemical used in lithium ion batteries was so toxic it was outsourced to foreign countries?
You mentioned no specific chemicals except lithium metal which is not present in lithium ion batteries.
You don't sound like a chemist was it your job to take dangerous stuff outside?
Chemical companies are dangerous without any lithium needed even raney nickel processes can go badly.
Holy crap. Another HUGE reason to steer clear of EVs
Always was the main reason.
Depreciation anxiety, reliability anxiety, range anxiety, insurance anxiety, burned alive when you least expect it anxiety...
I can easily see why the government want us all to have them now.
Here is your new EV, and here is your 10 year supply of Xanax.
@alasdair4161, Excellent comment.
@@grndzro777, muito bem.
@edwardoretardo6855, ICE cars burn because accidents or lack of maintenance, EVs burn because of bad conception.

You are and the band of corrupt public officials are.
Lithium batteries are not allowed in the cargo hull of passenger planes! There's the tip right there.
They shouldnt even be on Cargo Planes. Many accidents amd incidents have occurred already and some even covered up, because we are at the whim of different State and Country regulators. Industry has pushed the carriage for years not listening to the evidence.
@@clintthomas1854 No they do not!
well spotted. like many people i failed to make that connection.
But you can take a laptop onboard and everyone has a phone.
Don’t worry about it.
@@1Electricmancheck out next time you go to a post
Office and see what its asks about batteries in your declaration when posting a package. That should ALSO give you a clue. And when you check in luggage you are given a card that asks you if you have packed any batteries (amongst other things that don’t like) in your luggage? Why’s that I wonder?
I'll start parking well away from EVs from now on. Thanks for your videos.
Problem is you cannot control where they park! I went to the shops last night and came back to a Tesla parked alongside. And it was making ticking noises like turbo cooling but ofcourse no turbo
Happened to us on 11/26/23. Back up lithium battery for my brother, a veteran with ALS. Battery was not plugged in & was only used in case of a power outage. It overheated on its own & exploded @ 4:52AM. Everyone escaped unharmed except for me. Was treated for physical injuries & was treated @ the hospital for smoke inhalation. My brother’s room was completely destroyed even though the fire department arrived within minutes. They had to use chemical foam to extinguish the fire. There is no legal recourse because lithium ion batteries are made in China. China does not have quality control like we do in the US. Buyer beware. Lithium batteries are a tragedy waiting to happen.
Oh shit.
Jesus ..... thank god you all made it out and still have each other.
God speed your recovery bro.
Great comment; every one of which angers these EV parasites even more. Good luck to you and yours.
One Obvious Fact of this Is DON'T EVER BUY EV'S OR STORAGE BATTERIES FROM CHINA.

I'm a 65-year-old retired electronic tech. I have a man cave in the basement of my house here in Pennsylvania, USA. This is also my shop where I build small electronic gadgets. I use 18650 lithium batteries and had just purchased some new ones a month earlier and had one sitting on my bench under my big TV. All of the sudden, as I was watching TV, I heard a hissing and looked down and one of the batteries just spontaneously started to combust. I grabbed it with a towel and ran outside and tossed it on the ground. I couldn't believe it. Now I keep my Lithium batteries inside one of those fireproof lock boxes to provide more safety.
you should reconsider what you are doing.......like maybe a different hobby.
i had a 13650 start fizzing

Hi there. I just watched Stuart Fillingham's channel. He reported that EV parking charges were rising by1,800% in
inner London, reason being "Lifetime Emissions". This includes, mining, production and service. Proof positive
that EV's were never meant to replace ICE cars, but to stop private ownership.
That sounds about right!
Wow! So instead of 10 pounds to park it’d be 180???
Just look at what remains of the Luton Airport multilevel car park after the ev car fire…
Agreed
It's either that or promoting needless and pointless consumption.

@@Plisken65lol. Ok there EVangelist. 7.3L truck costs as much as your 2 electric firecrackers.
@@Plisken65As if they even want one. If they could afford an EV, they would spend the money on a quality ICE car instead.
Bring back leaded gas
I have known this danger since 2013 when the entire fleet worldwide of Boeing Dreamliner aircraft was grounded! This came about after exactly these kind of fires had been experienced in lithium-ion battery packs onboard the aircraft, causing clouds of gas and in some cases fires! The very idea that authorities today are pushing hard for mass acceptance and adoption of EVs is shocking indeed and in my not at all humble opinion, actually criminal, since the problem has not been remedied even today!
Above a certain size they can't be shipped on passenger planes so remedies have been implemented.
@@ghz24 You misunderstand. The Dreamliner used lithium-ion batteries as part of it's standard equipment to power ancilliary devices installed onboard. I was not referring to something that was carried on to the airplane by passengers or loaded onboard as cargo!
@@stewartw.9151 My mistake. But I still posit that it has been addressed with slightly heavier safer batteries like LiFePO and lithium titanate.
If they want us to accept E-cars they need to use safer batteries and make them cheap enough to own that a second (gas) car is affordable.
Or a removable ICE genpack for cross country so it can have a battery only range of ~100 miles like a plug in hybrid that you can leave the ICE home when not needed.
E-Volkswagens instead ot E-corvettes.
EVs should be go to market cars not cross country cars
Or go plug in hybrid except nobody bothers to use them correctly.
@@ghz24 Will not disagree - and glad to see that developments continue in this field, for if not we are looking at a pure catastrophe to come!
@@stewartw.9151 Yeah we need to reevaluate the direction of all transportation.
We will never have sustainable options until guys stop using cars as a display of manhood and the girls are just as guilty for judging manliness based on a guys vehicle.
Beyond that cafe stadards are the real bane to society you can't even buy a small truck anymore.
They are the good intentions paving this road to hell.
How long can they keep burning? This is truly terrifying. Thank you for this very important information.
In the old days journalists would have jumped on this information. Alas, not today as its against the "Narrative" - shame on the media. I also think the honeymoon period is over for EV's.
Journalists are nothing but propagandists now, they don't report on anything independently they report on what they are told to.
Honeymoon? Its more like divorce atm.
In the usa it was just admitted that the rating system for EV's was rigged from the beginning. They are less effecient than engine vehicles and all of the tax credits the companies received were bascially a scam on the public. This is only the tip of the iceberg IMO. I expect solar to finally get its day soon as well
No there are safe battery chemistries to use but range is reduced a little and the consumer is all sbout yhe range not safety.
The new standard range tesla will not burn due to LiFePO batteries being used.
I'll get an EV when they use lithium titanate batteries and can be charged at -30 with zero chance of burning. But I'll still keep my 29 year old Delta 88.
In truth I wouldn't like ANY new car too much newfangled crap to go wrong even on a gas car.
Don't want onstar or a car that thinks it knows better than me.
I want it to obey controls not second guess me. I may have a valid reason to ram the car in front of me.
The good batteries are too expensive, each one costs 100k right now
So not only do we NOT want one ourselves, we have to worry about who we park next to!
That is my concern now for a while. We no longer allow any on our property. But in public no one keeps us safe from that risk.
True, I avoid them like they are already on fire, I wont park my truck anywhere near one.
@@hamaarahof5712 I'm worried that one of my neighbours buys an EV (not a case of if, but when maybe), it ignites and the fire spreads to my house (small land blocks here, so very close proximity of dwellings) which would be a 'best case scenario' ... however a 'gas cloud explosion' in a garage could be even more catastrophic. I envisage that not only vehicle insurance costs will rise, but general house insurance (building & contents) will go through the roof to the point where people won't insure, and then the insurance companies will start to charge even more for those people who actually purchase insurance. And it may not even be an 'EV' that causes the disaster; think of scooters & power tool batteries. Just recently, I saw a TH-cam clip of a Milwaukee battery being crushed in a hydraulic press ... then I suddenly realised why Milwaukee brand their batteries as 'fuel'. Scary stuff.
And all the stupid electric scooters and bicycles in the households are dangerous too. Its crazy
Here in FL after these last couple of floods from hurricanes has illustrated this problem with Teslas and EVs.... Plenty of them burned to the ground!
As a tow truck operator who has had to deal with this.
I can tell you the main reasons this happens are as follows.
#1, Defective bateries.
#2, Rapidly discharging the batteries below ten percent.
So if you go from one hundred percent charge all the way down to ten percent in a very short span of time and you keep going hard on the battery beyond ten percent.
You get thermal run away.
In an electric vehicle , if you're down to ten percent and you're not too far from home and you're still on the highway.
What do you do?
Most people don't even think about it.
Most people don't know the dangers of driving below 10% battery charge. After you've been running it hard the whole way.
A lack of education and proper safety equipment to shut down the car and prevent it from running below ten percent battery charge after it's been running hard.
Would greatly mitigate the problem.
Then rapidly charging the battery after it's been fully discharged or nearly fully discharged immediately after heavy use.
Fast chargers are great for convenience.
But they are bad for battery stability.
Leading to more explosions.
It also does not help that battery packs are massively oversized.
Leading to battery cells being packed very closely together.
Preventing proper cooling of the cells.
Most people don't need more than 50 to 100 miles of range.
Leading people to have to buy a massave 500, 600 or 700 mile range battery.
Then they forget to charge it.
Until it's very low.
So you have them driving around with a low charge. State batthree and then they run it below ten percent while they're running hard.
Then they immediately charge it once they get home on a fast charging station , leading to the ideal conditions for a battery explosion...
It’s incredible how even most scientists give me a blank stare when I ask if they’ve ever heard of a battery “C rating” or “Maximum burst C rating”. LiPo batteries are far too finicky and complex to manage for the average punter who use it mindlessly like you would a toaster.
Why do you keep. Putting periods in.
The middle of your sentences.
@@dingo7055 Not if we get a proper education system in place... and get auto manufacturers to stop trying to get 500+ mile range cars on batteries.
50 to 150 should be more than enough for most people.
@@GeorgeSukFuk Because speach to text is not perfect.

yeah, really.......Great place for it !
I’m no chemist, but as a retired firefighter I recollect the numerous secondary toxic gases produced from the burning of primary gases and chemical. It’s likely there are still unknown risks from these EV fires.
There are firefighters that bring you new updates. It's scary now for firefighters. And I get the info from Germany too, much more strict and those cars can only be moved and decontaminated by specialized firms now in Europe. Wait till that comes here too...
I feel very sorry for the firefighters who now have more dangers to face
Cool story brah.
As a "retired firefighter" you are very much aware of risks produced from metal fires.
Well, i always say; there is a benefit too:
You wont have mood swings after that.

Ofc if you are dead, you also dont have mood swings.
@@theengine1xWell it's not a "metal fire" it's a hydrocarbon fire.
Also fight tge fire from the upwind side like any normal fire and the toxins will be blown the other way.
Wow. This video was a bit of an eye opener. My son, who is a first responder, was telling me a little about this, but seeing the video really brings it home. I have another son who works in the funeral industry, and has dealt with the lethal results of these fires first hand. Sadly, the car accident in question was little more than a "fender bender," otherwise perfectly survivable. Unfortunately, the driver of the electric car was unable to exit the car before it bursts into flames and he ultimately perished. I'm actually having second thoughts now about buying an electric car. Imagine if it blew up in your garage in the middle of the night. If your family survived, you might still lose everything else due to the fire!
This video and the video you presented should be mandatory viewing by the Attorney General of every country if they have one.
The first question from the home insurer this year was if I still owned the EV...
😂😂
And? How much did/would it have cost you? Or would have they “non-renewed”?

You can easily google the counter statistics of petrol fires and find its even worse and on top of that EV`s are 98% less likely to catch fire than ICE vehicles. these posts are really unintelligent..........This is insurance statistics.

or Gasoline + fire or sparks = unexploded bomb
We have that in Norway already. No need to imagine. Like 20%~40% of the cars at the nearby shopping mall parking garage are EVs.
An airport parking garage went up in flames here recently. Started by an ICE car, of course, as is common. The garage had several EVs in them.
Do you want to guess how many EV battery packs ignited? Zero. Not a single one started burning despite the hell-fire around them fuelled by gallons and gallons of extremely flammable gasoline.
So you want to imagine a parking garage full of EVs? Maybe one of them catches fire for some reason. A freak accident. But it can happen. What next? Nothing.. the fire would most likely not spread at all. Maybe the interior of the cars next to it would start burning. But that’d be small fires that wouldn’t spread very fast.
So the fire department would have plenty of time to get to and deal with that one EV fire. They would have to douse it in water for a long time, but that’s manageable. On the other hand, if gasoline starts to burn in a parking garage the entire place will quickly become a lost cause.
There’s a reason Hollywood uses gasoline for the explosion effects: it’s a perfect recipe for huge fireball.
i worked with Lithium battery's for a E-bike battery repair shop , and i did the welding of the battery's
after doing it for 3 years i started noticing the dangers i was facing by even welding them together by hand and my collegues without any good or real protection, even E-bike battery's burn like crazy or can explode, we also did a few motor cycle battery's and car ones they were HUGE compared to e-bike battery's i pointed out it's not right to do those by hand , the way we were doing them, noone in the whole country is doing car battery's by hand , welding them etc. they never took my complaints serious,even after their first building burned down to the ground
i quit that job, it had nice pay, not to bad , but the stress surrounding safety and other work related stress , i couldn't do it no more
I just posted a comment, no profane language, etc. I just stated what I thought of this network and they didn't post it. Love your show and keep up the good work.

@@1Electricman you need 3 elements for a fire :-
1 Combustible material.
2 ignition source .
3 Oxygen.
Without all 3 elements you won't get a fire.
Now with lithium batteries they can self ignite they produce their own oxygen burn more ferociously and at a vastly higher temperature than petrol also it can reignite itself some time after the original fire.
Notwithstanding lithium batteries fires are more problematic to put out than your communal garden petrol lawn mower.

Been driving Uber here in Southern California, using rental cars. Several other people showed up yesterday at a Hertz dealership to rent cars. Everybody else wanted a Tesla. People want to be cool and do whatever's the coolest thing. A while back I drove a Prius for a week and put it through the paces, driving in each of three modes. I wasn't impressed. Rode in a Tesla the other day, the outside door handles are made for right-handed people. I notice stuff like this because I'm a lefty. You have to press the left side of the handle with your thumb, then grab the right side that pops out with your fingers. If you want to use your left hand, you have to press the left side of the handle with your pinky and ring finger, then grab the handle with your middle and index fingers. Think about it. When you get in and out of a car, the hand you'll use depends upon which side of the car you're getting into. Even the right-hander will use their left hand on the outside handle of a door on the left side. If they use their right hand, the door is right in the way of their body, trying to get into the car. If it's a Tesla, they have to do the two-step every time they get into the car, or open it with their left hand. That's very difficult for right-handed people, who seldom have to accommodate the left-handers world. It's plumb stupid, besides the awful fact of the huge electric battery.
OMG, this has always proved my point. Time to ban all EV from ferries, tunnels, and parking garages. Especially apartment complexs, when are we going to learn...
@gppsoftware That works too, enough of this insanity!
When the quarter of death is
If we will find another safer and more efficient way of storing electricity without expensive rare earth metals then it’s a deal breaker.
You know that the government won't ban EVs or change its policy regarding the forced adoption of EVs unless something extraordinary happens. I know this sounds cruel and a little sociopathic, but we need several massive, devastating fires caused by EVs. If within a short period of time there will be a few catastrophic fires, then, and only then, will there be a massive public outcry against EVs that could force the government to change its policy on EVs.
@masa461 The EV con will be done when President Trump is back in office.
With the rest of the world following hopefully. I don't want to see any mass lost of life. Hence why ALL EV must be banned from tunnels, ferries, parking garages and especially apartment buildings...

I'm a radio hobbyist and did several months research before buying any Lithium Ion cells. I follow every safety/hazard warning. First, use only the recommended charger, and never leave your residence while charging. I have a fire extinguisher no more than 10 feet away. Hopefully there will be a much safer battery formula coming soon. Great video!
What the hell? Someday? Someday was 2 decades ago we have had LiFePO batteries for decades and they have none of these problems.
Lithium titanate batteries have been around for more than a decade and have zero propensity to burn and can be charged to 80% in 10-20 minutes depending on manufacturers criteria.
They also have a cycle life of 15 to 20 thousand cycles (that's more than 50 years at one cycle per day.
Sodium ion batteries also don't burn like this.
How did you miss these obviously safer more durable batteries during your months of research?
Or did you decide that weight was more important than safety?
I traveled from Indianapolis to Muncie and traffic was halted for several hours. Then we finally started moving and eventually passed a burned out shell of a Tesla. Never heard on the news or anywhere about this incident. If this was a tanker on fire, would have been at least a picture posted.
It's just a matter of time before a family is lost to this madness. If it hasn't already and has been covered up.
It's going to happen. I live in a mult-unit building, 8 units with built in garages, the neighbor next to me charges his Tesla in his garage, The next building, about twenty yards away has a rarely used Chevy Volt stashed in the garage, probably plugged in all the time. The state government here is all in on forcing EVs down our throats with a goal of 2035. It's done with a religious conviction. I think all of them, from the governor on down, will carry the shame and responsibility of all the victims innocently sleeping, yet killed by their blind self righteous fervor.
You wouldn't know in China because the authorities are so corrupt and the people so scared that it could be easily covered up.

Yup mine was deleted, someone didn't like the truth and reported it, that's how they get deleted. But no worries, I see the truth is coming out anyway. There are lots already dead from car fires, since they could not get out on time. That is not something they will be able to hide for much longer

Yes. Electric vehicles will probably soon be banned from ferries, underground car parks and tunnels.

The danger of the explosive vapour cloud needs to be made widely known. Few firefighters are aware as yet of the danger - they go in close with water hoses making the fire worse and are taken by surprise when the cloud explodes. The vapour cloud is far more dangerous than the fire in terms of risk to life and potential damage from explosion. I used to work in an explosive factory and became familiar with the levels of danger in a variety of explosive mixes.
My son is a mechanic and he's about to do his EV cert's. I'm going to send him this. Thank you.
I watched prof Christianson’s video a week or so ago. I recommend everyone to watch it. Ok it’s an academic’s safety lecture at a conference but this should be shown on mainstream tv as a lesson. Bloody scary!
I would recommand to watch the longer webinar version of the video, not the shortened presentation version.
I stopped and remembered the old Jane Fonda movie "China Syndrome". This movie and the small radiation leak (by comparison to more recent events) at Three Mile Island, spelled the end of nuclear power in the United States. Sadly, real life dangers of EVs are being ignored by the media and Hollywood.

We store e-bike batteries at work, the local fire brigade visited to confirm we were storing correctly, outside in separate buildings etc, when I asked them about EV fires all three firefighters said they would never own one. Enough said.
Minneapolis is buying electric fire trucks. LOL
911, in case of fire call back in 6 hours our trucks are charging right now. If this is the fire department, start applying for a job, that station is gone.
Yes, People in the Fire fighting Field Know what a Danger they are. Our Labour Government here in Australia don't know, and Don't want to talk about it. They have just pushed though NEW Taxes on ICE Vehicles to make them DEARER, so that you will buy an EV. I hope when the Liberal National Party get back in, they will RECIND this Stupidity.
agree, regular cars never burn
As you are likely aware the many EVs that had batteries breached by corrosive salt water during Hurricane Ian in Florida. Same issue, that when the vehicles were towed for repair/salvage they often reignited several hours later and the fire would leap & extend to other vehicles parked close by. They learned quickly to build a buffer zone of void space to prevent further extension. This caused a bit of a problem because it took up many more parking spaces. A lot designed to hold 200 vehicles could only place about 25% of that total if they were EV fire risk.
to my maybe not complete information, EV accident cars with battery damage are dropped into a container with the battery under water to prevent further battery issues
Avoid parking near these incendiary devices!!
This is alarming!! Every EV dealer and their salesman staff, including every buyer of Evies should be made aware of these risks!

I believe that your hits are very informative and interesting. Your show might save several lives over the years, keep up the good work and I'll watch you until I die. TH-cam SUCKS.
From CASA (on planes) for the know it alls “ You can't carry lithium batteries rated at 160Wh or more unless they're for wheelchairs and other mobility aids.. For all other lithium batteries rated at 160Wh or more, you must transport these batteries as dangerous goods cargo.” Note the words ‘DANGEROUS goods cargo’. So they’ll have to be packaged a certain way and it will depend on quantity.
How did any of this pass safety standards and get onto our roads?
They can't keep burying the truth forever.
One major tragedy that results in a few dozen deaths and these mobile explosive devices will be forcibly retired.
They had no standards. ICE vehicle standards weren't applied. That's why they have a 12 inch iPad on the dash, mostly below eye level.
@@robertkubrick3738Yeah, but it helped sell the car. When was the last time an ICE vehicle was designed with the driver and passenger's seats located on top of the fuel tank?

And an ICE vehicle...isn't?
Gasoline + smoke or sparks = unexploded bomb
@@CharveL88 No, it's not.
The usual fuels used in ICEs are quit stable, and they require oxygen to burn.
They are stored energy, but its energy held chemically, released only at high temperatures and when mixed with air.
EVs have their energy stored electrically, it's a electrical charge, like a loaded spring. There is nothing required for it to release its energy. Once you critically damage the battery you can't stop the process. You could put the battery into a vaccum, cover it with water, throw it into a pool of liquid nitrogen, nothing stops the release of its energy, all while it creates toxic fumes.
You can literally just put it into a container and wait till it's burned out.
Every car ice or ev is.

The mining for materials for the EV batteries and the disposal of the batteries does more environmental harm than oil and gas. We have corporations already doing "carbon capture" and reusing it to produce more energy. Let's invest in that. You know why they don't push for that? It's all about control, period! They don't care about our environment.

They are REALLY dangerous. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think they would make a nice mind field for around the house.
Shit you dont want that in your house whilst you sleep
There's a video floating around of a dog that got into some things while the owners were away and started chewing on a backup battery and it to popped and then exploded. Thankfully the fire department were able to get there in time to rescue the dogs but the house was trashed.
Not worried about it as I have never been brain-washed by governments.
I read somewhere they are charging EV owners more for their cars because of their weight. One owners EV would not run while away from home, so they called to get home help, the first help vehicle that came could not carry the weight of the car so a second more robust vehicle had to be called to get the car home. Just imagine all the extra cost.
It's quite possible that tow truck companies will just refuse to carry them. I know if I were driving the truck I would seriously not want to haul away an EV that was damaged in an accident.
I am NOT an EV fan for many reasons, but weight isn't one of them. A fully loaded Tesla Model 3 weighs in at about 4100 lbs. My Lexus GS 350 AWD weighs in at 3700lbs. Now, trying to lift the 400lbs difference may be tough for your or I but for a tow truck, 4100 lbs is nothing. Heck...the venerable F150 can go from 4100-4900 lbs and the three top selling vehicles in the states are pickups that are not light weight.
@@davidpavlich8939The same people complaining about people owning SUVs and driving in them by themselves with no passengers, also would be fine with a single person driving around in an EV that weighs as much as the SUV. That's a bit problematic
@@matthewmosier8439 I can't argue your point. What galls me most about the EV is that we're in a free society but it looks like the government is going to do their damnedest to take away our freedom to choose what we drive and that's just wrong. Now, I'm a geezer and will have assumed room temperature before the mandate is in full force, but I can still raise a stink about it. 😉
@@davidpavlich8939its not about what the tow truck can lift. Its about what the tow trucks rated weight limit is. Gross weights , axle weights, tow limits etc.

That was exactly what came to my mind 😮 this is huge cause some very bad people could use it as a freaking bomb. As u can see initial phase of fire burns like thermite so it could be used for Iron/Estructural Melting. 😐😮
@@lopiyono it really can't do either of those things. Dust can detonate but nobody has weaponized that fact for good reason. It's not dependable and the conditions for it happening are very rare and hard to recreate in a lab and impossible to recreate in the field.
This is a hydrocarbon burning and a can of gas is a million times cheaper and more dependable.
imagine is most people drive ev when carrington style solar flare in our direction
I was reading a study on lithium, and one thing that I found interesting is that when burning, it releases a bunch of different gases, and one in particular is known to deplete the ozone layer
We had a Tesla ignite in the next town over. Luckily the driver got out. The car burned for hours, the fire dept would extinguish the flames but they would shoot back up. THE FIRE CHIEF SAID HE ESTIMATED THE CAR WAS BURNING AT 5000°F, half the temp of the sun.
I seem to recall reading that one of the gaseous products is formic acid, and that breathing it can be severely damaging to the lungs.

I just happened to visit a rechargeable Lithium battery manufacturer in PRC some years ago, too. I was told the liquid inside is actually kerosene. During manufacturing, water vapour is strictly forbidden, otherwise the active Li compound will degrade very soon and the cell will bloat or burst. The result will be disastrous.
My friend does fire damage repairs for insurance companies.
He said that insurance companies distort statistics.
Some battery fires are recorded as electrical fires.
Especially if they take place in the garage in the apartment.
So there are actually much more battery fires than is known.
You finally found Dr. Christensen...........
I found him and sent in a tip and got no thanks.
I asked our local ferry boat crew on how they deal with this and if they had a plan in place. They told me that they did have a plan and that it basically was a blanket. I told them that passengers should be informed of emergency procedures and that there were a lot of gas cars parked beside electric cars in a confined space. Our ferries hold around 300 cars for a two hour trip. Not exactly comforting to think that something like this could go up in flames with poisonous gas in seconds anytime.
Just like all other laws, it will first take a catastrophe before a law is made to ban EV's. It's coming, perhaps in a week or perhaps in 20 years, but it will happen and I hope you and I are not directly injured by it.
The blankets seem to work to stop the blaze. But as soon as they are removed, it rekindles. Temporary stopgap measure. They should always place them in a spot where they can be pushed overboard for safety. This is what the Navy does with burning aircraft.
@@cvn6555 How you gonna push it overboard when is ignites and it is an inferno in 10 sec. I saw an EV fire on highway from a kilometer away... that is the biggest blaze i have ever seen. Did not know at first it was an EV burning, but i kinda guesed it could be since i have seen regular fires on highway, this was on another level
@@lukasalej5710 Have them positioned in places near openings or automated openings. Throw the fire blankets on them then use a bulldozer to push them out. We didn't push intensely blazing aircraft over the side; it was after the flames had died down that the dozer would shove them off. Fire crew right there, hoses charged to protect the dozer operator. They said it was all the magnesium that caused such problems that they couldn't get them put out and stay out. Those blankets work extremely well to attenuate but not extinguish the EV fires.
