I’ve seen ( a few ) people defending EVs and denying they were the cause. Maybe they’d like to check their insurance renewal quote for an EV against a similar value ICE car ?
So you are party to very specific information from the Fire Brigade or fire investigators that says that was the cause of the fire, correct? The thing is, they normally take a bit longer after putting the fire out before they work out what caused it.
Doesn't really matter whether it was an EV or not that started it. It might even have been arson. But what is certain is that there would have been a percentage of EVs in there, greatly complicating the situation for the firefighters.
The Fire Brigade have said it was a diesel car that exploded, but I do t believe it,unless it was arson. Combustion cars just don’t explode, but electric cars do.
Imagine your EV ablaze as your child sleeps upstairs. Not a good thought but no doubt our UK govt will tell us to trust the science yet again! The EV market just died.
If this is an electric car fire it's another case of lithium batteries burning out of control like on the car transporter ship Fremantle Highway. That burnt for weeks and was out of control and water was only put onto the ship to try to keep the hull cool and prevent it sinking. Even 2 weeks after the fire was extinguished on the ship one car re-ignited after being removed. Apparently lithium batteries produce oxygen when burning so if many cars are in close proximity the fire will soon get out of control. This is going to be an ongoing and rather worrying new trend. In the US many cars are charged inside there garages and have caused many house fires. Why are airlines so worried about carrying lithium batteries on board and have caused the destruction of several aircraft. Electric is the way forward but are we underestimating the potential fire risk and risk to life. One faulty battery if this is what has caused the fire could have serious ramifications. How many electric vehicles are parked next to each other when passing through the channel tunnel or on a ferry. Scary thought.
Petrol cars are far more dangerous. 20 times more likely to catch fire. And they do regularly. I’ve never seen or heard of an EV fire in my area, but 3 petrol cars and a diesel bus have burnt to a shell.
Not to mention the sprinkler system to put fires out and with a electric car that's a big problem it only takes one bad cell when recharging for it to over heat and no one waits around a electric car for 4 hours to charge it.
There are many TH-cam videos of cargo ship fires and discussing the causes. Of course unlike scaremongering headlines, they mostly turn out to be batteries on petroleum cars that haven’t been disconnected properly as per the company instructions. When loading thousands of cars onto a big boat, one or two will always get missed. It is shocking that so many people jump to blame EVs.
I agree that lithium powered cars are less likely to catch fire than petrol vehicles, but when they do and catch fire it is extremely hard to extinguish and works like an oxygen generator spreading from cell to cell. A petrol or diesel car will not re-ignite without an ignition source but lithium cells that are unstable even when extinguished can and do and are self feeding like a chain reaction. A fuel fire might burn several vehicles but can be extinguished relatively quickly. Electric car fires are another matter. If you look at pictures of the worst parts of the Fremantle Highway car carrier many cars were so badly burnt they melted. Electric is the way forward but these fires that spread between an ever increasing amount of electric vehicles parked side by side could become a problem even when it's one in a million that goes bad.
I have no issues with EVs but lithium thermal runaway is potentially a massive problem and will only get worse with more and more use. This video gives a good idea of the issues even with relatively small battery packs fail. Yes the chances are maybe small but people have got so used to using lithium cells that when it does go wrong the consequences could be terrible. th-cam.com/video/8nz5ijXcckI/w-d-xo.html
Last year a parking house outside Sola airport near Stavanger in Norway went into blaze. Burning many cars, and inflicting smoke damage and damaged paint coating to even more. This fire looks both Birger and even more dramatic, seemingly having spread faster over a larger area.
@@Shoshana-xh6hc All fumes are deadly in high concentrations. We need air to breathe. Some fumes are poisonous, and some are even explosive. Back in the eighties there was a terrible tragic fire in a nightclub in Dublin. A little fire in one end of the club, because of the gases the burning interior created, suddenly set the entire club alight. In 1976, I think it was, an escalate in a London tube station caught fire after a sigarette fell or was dropped, and the dust filled grease of the escalator set in process a tiny little fire, which because of the narrow arches of the underground station area was fed oxygen when tubes arrived at the station - pushing the air in front of the tube against the station arches and further up over the escalators and all the way out. This additional air moving upwards both gave the smouldering fire at the bottom under the escalator oxygen to grow, and pushed the fire upwards along the grease. The smoke created by that fire killed many and made even more needing treatment for smoke inhalation. Even though modern night clubs, restaurants and more fabrics and more less dangerous if caught on fire, and modern escalators are built so falling sigarettes, crumbs and more don't fall directly down on the grease, there are still a high danger for both poisonous and explosive gases being created by fires. Especially if the fire happens indoors. A car park, because there usually are a lot more cars than people, and the few people who are there therefore can escape the fire without stampeding each other, are not the most dangerous - for the general public, they can be dangerous for fire officers. Fires in shopping centers, theaters, cinemas, and worse of all large indoor concert venues represent a much higher risk of large numbers of deaths or serious injuries in case of fires. Not because of the fires in themselves, but the panic and chaos the people trying to escape them creates.
So petrol or diesel cars never crash or have any accidents, then? Or do you simply like sending oil money to regimes like Saudi Arabia that only put the money into the hands of our British Tory oligarchs by buying up more and more bits of our country?
Why? My car has a battery. Same with most of my friends, family and neighbors. More than 80% of the new cars sold are electric here in Norway. I don't know a single person whose electric car has caught fire. Electric car fires are harder to put out. But electric cars don't burn more often than petrol or diesel cars.
@@davidfoster9890 When they do the fire brigade puts out the fires. Cooling on trucks and trailers have caused much more dramatic fires than electric cars have - especially when they catch fires inside tunnells. Even overheated breaks causes fires in trucks and lorries. But we haven't banned them, cause most trucks - just like electric cars - reach their destinasjon without catching fire.

Call me sceptical (you're sceptical🤭) but looking at the level of fire going on there there is one cause that springs to mind here, and if it does turn out to be my current supicion then that fire will continue for quite some time. I am of course referring to a fire being caused by an electric vehicle. Fires caused by E.V.'s are extremely dangerous, not just because of the length of time they continue to burn (they are self generating oxygen fires) but more importantly the dangerous fumes given off by these fires which if breathed in can cause life threatening/ debiliting injuries.
Diesel cars don't just suddenly combust whilst parked. They also don't burn through the roof or ground. Emitting such poisons into the atmosphere. They don't set houses on fire either. By been in the driveway.
They have had similar incidents to this at Australian airports that were all traced back to an EV's battery pack going into Thermal Runaway, while most of them were MG EV's, Tesla's and Audi's have also been involved, With this fire our font of 'truthful' reporting the BBC are saying it was a diesel car that caught fire, Takers Anyone?
Even if the cause was not an EV, the fact that there would have been EV’s present nearby made the fire more intense for much longer than if the car park contained only petrol and diesel vehicles. Anyone with half a brain would avoid them now.
The fire started with a diesel & obviously was mainly spread by petrol & diesel cars, as the vast majority of cars on the road today are still internal combustion…
Morning Professor, Given the news coning out of the middle East just now my first thought was Oh, no it's 'kick off' in UK ....Then l thought hang on !, car park, car/s on fire me thinks an EV, bet its an EV...They do appear to have a propensity for spontainious combusting..
Someone said it was a car left on charge that was charging up there that over heated can not be put out has to burn itself out could happen in any time anywhere
I read the charging points were on level 2 .....the truth is difficult to discover these days. If there were no EV cars in the car park , a single car fire would have been dealt with in minutes....I would think.
That car they show on fire, is it really on fire or a car to it's left that we can't see? the car show has either tail lights or brake lights on, has it stopped and the true source of the fire is hidden by the stopped car?
I was stuck inside the police ring after the Manchester bombing back in the 1990s and it was really eerie listening to the car alarms slowly die as time went on... add to that fire and it must be really strange, hope everyone is OK.
Even if the initial fire wasn’t caused by an EV, the inferno that followed def will have been. These electric vehicles are almost impossible to stop once they start to burn, so each EV parked in that car park will have collectively turned this car park fire into a disaster. And when the police later say there are lessons to be learnt it still won’t stop this happening, it will take an apartment block with an underground car park to go up in flames or a motorway pile up with casualties and explosions the likes of which we have never seen before the governments pushing these death traps and the idiots buying them will finally admit that these EV cars are lethal. At least explosions are impossible to deny, unlike blood clots, the other disaster that everyone keeps denying is happening right now. When will the public wake up ?
Perhaps the Fahrenheit 451 Brigade have switched from forests to car parks? Another notch on the 'no travel' agenda... I wonder who's carbon credit score is being debited for this?
Meanwhile, it has become clear from smartphone images that the vehicle was not parked, but caught fire while driving. The registration number is E10efl. That's a 2014 Diesel Range Rover. I hope this gives the EV haters some thought. Should we now ban diesels in car parks?
@@MIEJ4 from a large firefighting family. In heat like this, tyres expand rapidly and most often do go bang or pop. Sometimes when more slowly and spot heated, the tyrewall will fail at a certain point allowing the air to escape as soon as the pressure inside the tyre is great enough, therefore no explosion. [edit] on the other hand I might add. Fuel tanks rarely catch fire or explode. E.g, YT channel Budget Buildz: Crispy Comet (Mercury Comet GT. The car was fully engulfed by fire. But what do you know!? After BB bought it from the insurance auction, they put a new carby, fuel filter, distributor and battery and it pumped fresh fuel through on its first attempt to start! Please have a short look just to see. 🙂
@@onlyme972 oh yes, can’t discount the individual cells. Generally in the past it was tyres, as the plastic on normal car batteries usually just melted first, or the battery vented. 👍
If the colour balance on this video is accurate, and all the other shots like the fire appliances look right, then that fire is burning very, very hot. There doesn't seem to be much smoke, which is odd for a car fire, but maybe we just can't see it in the dark.

E.g, YT channel Budget Buildz: Crispy Comet (Mercury Comet GT. The car was fully engulfed by fire. But what do you know!? After BB bought it from the insurance auction, they put a new carby, fuel filter, distributor and battery and it pumped fresh fuel through on its first attempt to start! Please have a short look just to see. 🙂
Batteries exploding
@@onlyme972 oh yes, can’t discount the individual cells. Generally in the past it was tyres, as the plastic on normal car batteries usually just melted first, or the battery vented. 👍
I’m sure this fire wasn’t caused by an Electric car battery.
Must have been caused by global warming.
It has been warmer than normal for October. 😂
Nah mate , it was Putin .
In the good old days you returned to the carpark & your motor was gone - nowadays it's the carpark that's gone !!!
hopefully everyone made it out.
Imagine if that happens in the underground parking of a high rise building.
If the colour balance on this video is accurate, and all the other shots like the fire appliances look right, then that fire is burning very, very hot. There doesn't seem to be much smoke, which is odd for a car fire, but maybe we just can't see it in the dark.
colour balance is a little towards the orange. Fire engines should be reder
Still about 1000 degrees C.
Yes, that was my estimate looking at it last night. The white flame at the bottom nearest the actual burning objects is diagnostic.
Go buy a Tesla. Safe and effective 😂
Relax its just A Car Park Fire caused by A Car.
Your MP or forensic fire investigater will blame " global warming " !!
Trump lit it.
Green Smoke ? Where !
It was caused by a tesla explosion
Thank you professor, this really is breaking news …👏👏
Diesel Hybrid 2014 Sport. Even if a bicycle started the fire, the EVs and hybrids in that car park ended 1200+ cars and destroyed a building. A Lithium metal fire burns at 2000°C.
