    Finally there is a usecase for 1sr gen Nissan Leafs.

    Thanks for uploading. The music is a tad bit loud because I couldn't hear the sound of the fire which you pointed out.

  • @margaretmichniewicz2849

    Blanket passed the test?! But not the car

    The moral of the story is,

  • @handyandy6050

    I suggest this is all very well for containing the fire, but from the "deprivation of oxygen" point of view, I suggest the lithium fire makes its own oxygen. The blanket might help a bit, but basically you still gave to wait for the fire to use all of its "fuel" up.

  • @PerryCS2

    everyone is forgetting the purpose of the blanket... to CONTAIN the fire so it doesn't spread and burn everything else down around it... you can put the blanket on yourself, you don't need 4 firemen... the blanket does a great job of keeping the flames down. While the fire is contained rush and call the fire dept and you just kept your house from burning down while they get to you...

    They sent for my plates after I failed to follow an air bag recall. EVs with current battery technology are more of a danger than fragmenting airbags.

  • @willcall9431

    That’s impressive. Perhaps all electric car manufacturers should include a fire blanket with the sale of an electric car .

  • @alanlangridge7819

    Interesting that the intense heat didn't 'lift' the blanket and all four tyres were still inflated..............

  • @keithammleter3824

    it is interesting that the fire blanket had to be applied for 40 hours. And the battery could still re-ignite.

  • @czechmate6916

    Not to mention what the weight of these vehicles are going to do to our streets and roadways. When you get in a wreck with one it’s going to be like getting slammed into by a train. The smoke from these fires are highly toxic.

  • @ruffusdawes8203

    It's nice to see the fire fighters use PPE for protection during this demonstration. However, there was no thought about the toxic effect the smoke will have on the innocent pedestrians or public at large that would inhale the smoke. Well done. This kind of testing proves that climate change is a hoax at best when these kinds of tests should be done in a controlled lab or building that could filter the release of toxic smoke into the environment reducing damage to the environment and the public at large. Well done.

    Electric bike in for repair or service at a dealership in my local village S. Vietnam caught fire. The mechanics managed to move into the roadway. A neighboring builder's merchant dumped a digger bucket of sand on the fire. This smothered the fire and put it out.

    The other option is after they contain the major runaway reaction, there have some good testing of dropping the car in salt water. After the battery cools down, there is still stranded energy in the batteries. The saltwater will allow the batteries to discharge the remaining energy into the water instead.

  • @stephenrichards5386

    Something very strange that. A Li battery doesn't need oxygen to sustain itself

  • @Malpriorvids

    Where were they taking the temperature from? The thermal image looked just as red at over 1,000 degrees as it did at just a 100 degrees.

  • @stevenmitchell7830

    Or... don't buy an EV until the battery fire risk is more manageable.

  • @anthonytruta2745

    Ev's are serious fire hazards. Just to be safe, I won't park next to one.

  • @David-fj5lz

    Burn though roads melting the tarmac meaning massive road repairs for one incident,totally shutting down a whole motorway for days

  • @joseaguilar5020

    The thermal blanket only cover the fire and smoke but the batteries will continue burning till all the energy is consumed
