I drive E-buses with their 600v batteries here in Brisbane Aust. We've been instructed not to allow electric scooters and skateboards on buses because of the 'potential fire hazard'. Go figure.....
Probably due to the company thinking they have some control over the state of the batteries in the busses. They will have" professionals " looking after them
The public's batteries are all unknowns. You don't know the state of any of the age, maintenance, or charge state., or if they got bashed around.
I rode an E-bus couple years ago and they're a lot quieter and accelerate faster than gas powered busses. Don't see why e-scooters and skateboards cannot be allowed. The same issue can still happen in gas powered busses
So that would be exactly the same as not allowing petrol scooters on buses as well then.
@@user-jt4fy4od9r Never been mentioned in operational policy. And no passenger has ever tried to bring one on.
They did a study a short time ago.
Comparing EV bus fires and hours of operation with the equivalent ICE busses.
You might want to consider the results before getting too far away from the exit on the EV.
I don't remember the exact numbers (they're available).
There's millions and millions of hours of service with the ICEs without significant fire hazards.
With the EVs it's like 20% or something ridiculous. They've had several burn to the ground and by comparison there's not that many in operation.
There's now a problem with garbage trucks catching fire from discarded batteries in computers, phones, power tools, UPS units, etcetera when the compactor crunches them. They call them "Hot Loads"!
10 trucks have been destroyed in one part of Florida. There must be hundreds nationally.
gasoline is much safer
well it's not so much a problem with consumer electronics batteries as much as it is with incorrect disposal of them, isn't it?
@@Ofjkkmaybe we shouldn't make new phones every 6 months like they are made to just toss. 🤷
They have been covering up this threat for years. I remember when laptops were catching fire on airplanes. All of a sudden it seemed to magically stop.
There’s an additional concern: firefighters can drag an electric bike to an area where it can burn itself out over a few days. Much harder to do that with a 6,000 lb. EV.
But do you actually know how rare fires in EVs are? And did you realize that an ICE vehicle is 20 times more likely to catch fire and an EV?
@@Greatdane-qf8kd Most EV's are under 4,000 lbs and will be lighter in the future, excluding the monster Hummer which will die a quick death.
@@Greatdane-qf8kd 😂😂😂😂 where are you getting these numbers from, sir? 🤔
@@siphesihlemagagula1709 Google it..Studies from many different countries show the exact same thing - that EVs are not at all the dangerous potential fireballs that these idiotic videos depict.
@@siphesihlemagagula1709 MYTH: "EVs always catch fire"
Last summer a car park at Luton airport went up in an inferno. Social media speculation, authoritative as ever, pinned it to an EV fire. Thanks social media for your contribution. The fire brigade later said it was a diesel car.
Now, an EV battery fire is bad news. It burns hot and is hard to extinguish. Indeed it can ignite again after several days. But burning isn’t a battery’s sole purpose in life. Whereas a combustion car carries a tankful of stuff whose one job is catching rapidly on fire. And it can do so when you don’t want it to.Electric car fires are very rare. They might stem from a fault or crash, but no official crash test ever caused one. EVs are extensively developed and subject to the discipline of recalls. Electric scooter fires are far more common since they’re mostly uncertified - because they’re illegal.
The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent. MSB has also recently proven a new way to extinguish battery fires fast. (Article from Topgear)
An e-bike went into thermal runaway in a subway car last (edit, December) in Toronto. No injuries but it trashed the car!
Was that a fire in December of 2023? Do you mean March of 2024?
@@nelsblair2667 Dec 31 2023. Thought it was more recent. There have been several other fires in apartment lobbies and storage rooms as well.
I remember in Ottawa back in the 1970s when water beds were the big safety threat because they might leak and create huge amounts of water damage in a building, or if you rolled it onto the balcony of your apartment because of the leak, it could snap the balcony off of your building. Oh, and they gave you wet dreams. Lol! --Old Guy
There's no way the grid will support 500_000 charging stations.
Yet
@hardsayings2400, the energy grid in California can't even support it's electrical demands even with fossil fuel consumption still active and the fact that California IMPORTS electricity! Two summers ago when there were ~800,00 to around 1,000,000 A-EV's on the road there, they put out a PSA, "Please don't charge your cars, the power grid is already overloaded due to the heatwave!!"🤣Now just consider what it'd be like if 100% of power generation was "solar" and what I call "windmills" AND California had ~40 MILLION A-EV's on the road rather than ~1,000,000 AND they still have to power all of the homes, businesses etc., which do not possess their own independent solar arrays. Imagine what it'd be like for ~330 MILLION+ across the entire country. The fact is, there less than 2.5 MILLION A-EV's on the roads in America yet there were ~292 MILLION vehicle registrations last year. Despite the activist's claims, A-EV's are NOT anywhere near "mainstream popularity"....
@@sd70cal the numbers show it never will…..
Yea it’s like they think electricity is generated from thin air😂
@@chirayudesai793The EVangelists think electricity comes from unicorn farts and fairy dust.
So, it's okay if an electric car battery explodes and causes a fire but not a small bike? Scotty is right, it makes no sense.
Big battery, big fire. Small battery, small fire. Big fire, difficult to extinguish. Small fire, easier to extinguish. Common sense, logic
Exactly
It probably more dangerous to charge a bike in an apartment building.
@@andyblank4157Thank you. Nice to see you here😊
No $en$e at all. lol
Remember a few years back those electric hoverboards were starting on fire, too.
Those aren't hoverboards. They don't hover. They're only two-wheeled skateboards.
@@keithsantana145they were advertised as hoverboards/segways
You know what keeps me coming back to Scotty's videos? It's the inset photos of the "laughing animals" when Scotty laughs. They are hysterical. 😆
He has the best pop-ups the animals laughing, the junkyard (GM dealership) big rear ends and some sexual innuendos
I love that small touch.
thank you for saying this! I always loved the laughing animals they're so fiting
People are charging eBikes in their apartments or ground floor shops. If the eBike catches fire it can burn the whole building down.
People are charging EV cars in parking spaces under buildings . What’s good for the goose is good for the gander .
Mandatory smart chargers.
I hear Burning Down The House by Talking Heads in the background now!
@@unnamedchannel1237 Where to charge is a good question. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent. MSB has also recently proven a new way to extinguish battery fires fast. Fireproof wallboard on the walls and ceiling is a simple, and not very expensive way to solve the issue, even if it's not at all common.
Town/Row homes with garages at ground level
oh, imagine the carbon emission from those batteries on fire.
Imagine the 15,000 gallons of water needed to extinguish that fire.
They never mention that ...the toxic soup
If it were carbon emissions, it would be a petrol car, now isn't it? They are highly toxic fumes, if you see a battery fire, run against the wind or else you may suffer severe and lasting health issues.
@@nickmalone3143 Search "You're Being Lied to About Electric Cars motortrend"
Shhhhhhh! You’re not allowed to think about that!
The stock market is completely manipulated. Agree 100% with ya' Scotty!!
What they aren’t saying is that most of these fires are caused by STOLEN BIKES being charged by people that don’t have the OEM charger and can’t get a new one (bike receipt required to buy another charger) so you have these thieves jerry-rigging a charger and causing the fire.
Exactly. They don't want to bring that up because they pretend crime doesn't exist.
That’s a double liberal nightmare
Any some chargers are just junk, I had one that just keeps putting out current, no option to stop, that was left up to the user to somehow magically figure out.
Does anyone else on the planet have as much fun as Scotty? I doubt it!
This is the most accurate & honest place on the web or any other place to get the news.Way to go,Scotty ! This is the king of car repair videos & hard rockin’ journalism. Rock on !
Replacement car batteries: ACDelco. I’ve had 2 in different vehicles last 11 years each! Replaced them with similar ACDelcos.
When I was a youth, I would expect a battery to last 6 years. ACDelcos far exceeds that. As long as your vehicle’s charging system is healthy, you can count on it. (I just count on when the 11 years are up… 😁)
I've had equal good luck with my Motorcraft batteries and Interstate. The motorcraft lasted 10 years and the interstate 9.5. I've even had Walmart batteries last almost 7.
Costco battery with warranty replacement. My car had a powerdraw issue and they only charged me $20 everytime I came in. Like four times in a year 😂
Sounds like it's really not worth paying more for a car battery; quality of the cheaper ones is apparently quite good enough. 7-10 years on one battery sounds fantastic
@@nthgthWill you get 7-10 years though? I’ll pay the extra for the peace of mind.
Regarding Chinese batteries: I am a retired firefighter, and I can tell you something about Chinese batteries and power supplies. Not long before I retired (as Chief of my department) we fought a house fire on Christmas Day. After we extinguished the fire we routinely did a "Cause and Origin" investigation. Here is what we discovered.
The older couple who lived in the house were given, as a gift from one of their kids, one of those video picture frames that were popular at the time. Their kid who gave them the gift had pre-loaded it with pictures of the grand kids, so it was ready for hanging on the wall, which they did. The next day, Christmas Day, the homeowners had been invited to a Christmas Dinner at the facility where the wife worked. While they were gone, one of their neighbors smelled smoke and looked around, and noticed smoke coming out of the couples' house, and so called the Fire Department. We were able to confine the fire to the living room and kitchen, but the rest of the home was pretty much destroyed by smoke damage and damage to the wiring. The cause and origin of the fire was actually easy to determine, as the charring of the wall surface made a 'V' shape poining right to where the video picture frame had been hung, and extended upwards from there to the ceiling where it then spread.
The homeowner identified that location as where he had hung the video picture frame.
Through the nationwide fire reporting system, eventually a sufficient frequency of these thing causing fires had been compiled, such that all participating fire departments throughout the country were informed in a periodical bulletin that the NFPA put out.
Anyway, what was discovered was that the Chinese had been marketing portable video units, about the size of a tablet computer. These were popular with people who, say, were going on a road trip with their small children and could put a cartoon or kid-oriented CD in the thing and keep the kids occupied during a long drive. But keep in mind that the power supply and battery in the video unit, when used to play a video, would only be "on" for an hour or so. That was what the service of the electronics were designed for.
But they got the idea to dumb the units down, and to make them into video picture frames. But in that application they were now "on" for 24/7! The power supply would then overheat and start fires.
Now back to EVs:
The insidious thing about E-Bicycles is that people tend to charge them by bringing them inside the house to charge them. An electric car often is charged outside, where a fire due to some defect might not be as dangerous, as the car might be parked outside in the driveway during charging instead of inside the house.
Some garages where people charge cars are attached to the house.
In dense cities, most charging is done in underground car parks, or at least close enough to buildings to cause a lot of damage
So ironic that this older couple were probably delighted to scroll through pictures of their happy family, and within a day all their family memories had gone up in smoke.
I drive a ford excursion v10. I always get funny looks from EV drivers but little do they know my truck will still be running in 10 years and their “new” car won’t lol
There are 10 year old EVs still running fine lol

You can't even safely get rid of the batteries
Only 70 percent of the lithium can be recovered. Recycling LION batteries is like unfrying an egg - the chemical bonds don't want to let go. Like de-emulsifying paint.
@@timothykeith1367 But that is safely getting rid of (recycling) batteries. Crazy how the anti-EV crowd ignores the evidence.
I take my lithium batteries that have reached end of life to battery World . There are many companies out there that take them, you just have to look around.
@@timothykeith1367 How many time in your life , you will have to recycle a Blade LFP battery of the chinese brand BYD ? .. This battery without any risk of fire and without cobalt can stand at least 1,2 million of km .

I replaced Battery in my 2016 Chrysler 200C AWD with Mopar Battery few years ago.
Went to Chrysler dealership. The original Battery in car last 5 years.
Scott I do not like autozone parts either, always get Mopar parts much better quality.
I always insist on Interstate Batteries, you will pay more but for me they always last longer. Like everything else in life even if it costs more generally it can be said you get what you pay for.
Where in California did you go that there’s no gas stations? I literally drive by 20 different gas stations everyday to work lol
I am in California and I have four gas stations within a mile of my house.
I've got 7 within a mile and a half, and they are on the route between Mendocino and the Airport(s)
Right! I guess he has little experience driving through Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Montana, ....etc.
But he wasn't exaggerating about the $8/gal price though. I've seen photos of Cali gas stations selling regular unleaded for 8.60/ gal.
Cali gas prices insaneeee
@@uwiwithanuzi Yep - and I've seen it at 3.89 recently. The road taxes are higher. We do have a special blend that the refineries charge a premium for. And sometimes with traffic it makes more sense to pay the higher price in the high-rent congested area you're in than spend the time to go to someplace more competitive in pricing.
Think of all the parking garages we have under apartment and office buildings. It's only a matter of time before one of these garages, and the building above it, is destroyed by fire. Most garages are built to survive a gasoline fire, but a burning lithium ion battery will burn right through the floor. Even if the fire starts in a non-electric car, once it spreads to an electric car, the fire will be almost impossible to extinguish. I wouldn't want to spend much time in a building with a garage in the basement if it allows electric cars.
Scotty... what do you eat? I cant help but smile from your upbeat none stop energy. Loved watching your videos... even when you go on a rant lol I always watch your vids to the end👍

Toyota is starting to use CATL batteries (chinese). A little concerned about quality since they were using Panasonic built batteries for the last 20+ years.
@Sunset4Semaphores, I just keep imagining A-EV's spontaneously bursting into flames like Samsung phones were doing in people's pockets.... It's already happening to some A-EV's with issues in charging as well as battery contamination and defects. Some of these spontaneous fires have happened with the vehicles parked and not even charging....
@zenithperigee7442 that was because the phones were too thin and flexed, not the battery itself
Not only Samsung phones, remember the exploding Samsung Washing Machines?
@4:47 As a native Angeleno born in Torrance, CA, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Those battery fires are why they are pushing the LiFePo4 batteries. 60% less capacity (when compared to the top tesla 4680 cells @ 296wh/kg vs 120wh/kg in the top LiFePo4) but it doesnt allow thermal runaway and it can be charged 7000+ times vs 1000-1500 for the lithium ion.
(edit) oh and LiFePo4 can function down to -4F and up to 140F without loss of performance or damage to the battery.
Yep. Bought a new battery for the old 'Bird at Walmart last week. $74 out the door.

Great point Scotty, had similar idea. Lived in Las Vegas awhile and did wonder why, they had not incorportated the stock market into a betting device like Sports booking of sorts. Easily could make short term bets, etc.
What makes me laugh is the "Ultra Low Emission Zones" in and around London.
Only electric vehicles are allowed in (without having to pay a fine).
Those things pollute the air way more than a hydrocarbon fuelled vehicle when they spontaneously combust.
Good thing TSLA is not a “just” car company. Anything that drops the price right now is a blessing.
😂
Like compliance credits, carbon credits, direct and indirect subsidies, and cost-sharing, and all of it gets passed onto low and middle-income taxpayers and consumers in the forms of higher costs and limited access.
The government push for EVs is a ruse for mass transit.
Thanks Scotty!
In my recent experience, Interstate batteries are no better. After the last Interstate battery failure (my third), I switched to our local NAPA dealer. That was three years ago and no issues.
Every time I see someone driving a Tesla I think more money than brains
Not always, most have debt and a car note is a major part of that debt. People think of them as status symbols for some stupid reason 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Me too😂
Yeah, they’re going to save a lot of money by not buying gas or hardly any maintenance.
@@hardkore360 don't think Tesla is a status symbol... just cheaper to run than gas.
Most used their brains to get a good paying job to afford one.
Collab interview with Louis Rossman next? 😂
These parts stores stock too many of the same batteries, every month that battery sits there it's passing on, garages only stock a half dozen for a reason. I worked for a distributor in the 80's when garages had pumps we filled, charged, then stamped the date with a hot iron when we delivered it to extend the shelf life. Look for the pressed numbers around the posts.
Hi Scotty, I am seriously considering replacing the factory original battery on my 2014 VW Golf TDI. should I buy a replacement or stay with this reliable battery?
the peoples republic of New York is so screwed up
I read that Toyota sells smaller hybrids in Europe that get 75 mpg. I think Yaris was offered as a hybrid. Some claim they got as much as 80 mpg. I prefer a small hybrid to an EV
Damn straight.
@3:13 97% operational, please realize that is ridiculously low for something people will depend on. People will stranded in middle of nowhere 3% of the times the travel! Who likes a car that every 34th ride will break down due to not able to charge when you travel outside of city? Where distance to the next charger is too far on a empty battery.
Great commentary!
These videos are absolutely hilariously informative! 🤣👍🏼
Hilarious anyway.
We don't need EVs on our roads. The whole EV thing is just a bad idea.
Well said sir👍
How many miles did you drive in an EV?
@@bustex1 a fair few in 2019 when I took a model 3 out for a test drive.

Relying on fossil fuels isn’t sustainable. We’re going to need alternate energy sources at some point. Why not start now?
I live in southern California, 20 minutes from downtown LA without traffic, and me and my extended family drive gas vehicles (Toyota's) and so far there are still plenty of gas stations.
Batteries: yes I have had a couple of crappy ones recently. Interstate has refused to exchange one 1 yo. How about swithing to AGM?
I drive and test it regularly and use a trickle charger if not driving enough. Hope to have the patience to do this for another year😂
What's going to happen to parking garages when their all full of EV's and 1 car starts on fire?
The same thing as happens when a car full of super flammable hydrocarbons catches fire. Which happens more than with EVs.
@@FLPhotoCatcherreally? It's so much easier and faster for a fire department to extinguish the fire on just ONE car, now imagine 50 EVs caught in the same fire, no way in hell will the Fire Department even get close to those gases and heat.
A reoccurring explosion.
@@hardkore360 50 EVs? What, is the nearest firehouse 50 miles away? With gasoline filled cars, the fire would spread *faster* than with EVs.
@@FLPhotoCatcher nice try but no cigar...
Ask yourself ... Just who owns the locations where they are going to put these charging stations?
Probably our “dear leaders”
For the majority of people most charging stations will be at home or place of work. Those can be smaller ones that don't need to quick charge.
Local government land 🤔
@@mrgarrison3516 Maybe, but I think it would be done as a lease out to a private group if that's the case. Possible an electric utility would supply if their governing regulations allow it.
Tesla and other companies shell has plans to change convert their stations to Evie stations
They can barely keep the power on when everyone turns on the AC during a heat wave. Now they will be turning on the AC and plugging in their cars?
6:24 i changed my car battery at 6 yrs, even though the battery guy (tested it) said it was still ok for another yr or 2.
Proactive maintenance
The idiocy of "climate change" compounded by the idiocy of EVs.
Funny to see Scotty mention the cheap Chinese electric bikes since he has promoted more than a couple of them on his channel!
Yeah, sort of a "HIPPOCRIT"...as all of us are...at times!
Actually he's promoted ones he's tested and thinks are well built.
Hes only shown off the well built ones that he deems as decent for the money, not the cheap garbage ones, he's even mentioned that very thing in the videos where he talks about/reviews the couple models he's been using

What laws? 🤣
Don't forget, your electric tank gets smaller with every charge. Thus decreasing your range.
Not as much as they used to. Properly charged batteries are getting 250,000-500,000 miles.
@@sd70cal yeah, thats what they say, hehe.
@@sd70cal I'm NOT talking about total lifetime range, I'm talking about range on 1 charge. That constantly decreases with every charge.
@@aantonic That is what the owners are saying. If you concentrate on anti-EV news sources it's understandable you haven't heard them speak.
@@DecrepitBiden You are talking about older battery technology and poor charging practices. If you lose capacity with each charge like you are inferring, you would never get 250,000 - 500,000 miles of total range.
Went to Western Isles, Scotland last year, planning to take ferry to Raasay. Electric ferry had battery issues and was out of action for about a week, back-up ferry was in Glasgow, a days sail away! Took crossing on inflatable.
An electric ferry in Salt water?
What could possibly go wrong??
Only goes to prove those bike and scooter companies aren’t greasing the palms of enough legislators in NY State.
Aww come on Scotty, they are at least on their way with 7 to the credit of that 500,000. If they keep up with that ratio, they will have all 500,000 installed in 71.5 years. I don't think that you or I will be around to see it though. 🤣🤣
Well, Shell is also building gas stations. I don’t know how many and I don’t know the reason for shutting down 1000 stations. Maybe high crime areas where every other business is fleeing. Also, California has plenty of natural resources, including gas and refinery capacity, but Sacramento government chooses not to develop it. Just like our perpetual water crisis because 50% of the rainwater goes out to the ocean and isn’t stored properly. High gasoline prices, high water prices high blinking everything.
I didn't follow the part about only 7 stations.. but then you said there were 28 just in NY? I definitely know there are some in other states too. So i think more than 7 of course, but you still have to go there and sit for 1/2 hour at least to charge. I don't see how that's doable for people on the road or with time constraints. But you identify one of the most glaring problems with our economy in general - it's very IMPULSIVE.
Autozone sold me a bad ignition coil and it went bad after a week. I tried to take it back and they told me they don’t refund used parts. I will never order from them again.
Pretty sure people were saying the same thing when the gasoline car came out.... No gas stations, they catch on fire and breakdown. Why when you can have a horse! 😂
Electric cars were around then too. The better option prevailed. This is a stupid generation, so we have to do this all over again.
Nice take
U use your last two connected brain cells to come up with that?
It became difficult to get rid if the old big heavy box television sets when they quit making them and everyone started buying flat screens. You couldnt give them away, had to pay some place to "recycle" them. I could see people having the same issue in a few years with their EVs
EV battery recycling is going to be a nightmare.
Lithium battery recycling is somehat complex because stage one involves ripping stuff apart while the cells are fully submerged in a special inert liquid to prevent the active ingredients catching on fire/exploding. Needless to say, work crews will becaome instantly aware if the process has somehow missed some vital step listed in their "safety" manuals.
At my job that handles junk cars we have entire sections dedicated to EVs 😅 not sure what to do with these things
Thanks for sharing.
Your good Karma of sharing knowledge has shielded you from disasters. In other words, when you do God's work, God protects you. Keep up the good work.
I remember driving 80 miles in Texas and not being able to find a gas station. That was about the max range my bike had. You can always find anecdotal evidence for almost any point you want to make.
How did you get home?
Hitchhiking .... Tesla driver stopped 🤔
This is what I've been saying about ICE vs. EV. Once they start getting rid of the gas stations you can't just "keep your F-150 forever".
And it doesn't have to be the government closing them down. Once gas stations are no longer profitable they will all go away fast.
Funny…. The same thing with electric cars. When they can’t sell them anymore because people won’t buy them, they will go away quickly forever!!🎉😂
They can run on propane as well with a kit.
Government will make that a crime punished by 20 years in prison
You'll still be able to buy $10 a gallon gas.
@@user-gz8st9fe8p No
The copper scrappers are going to go crazy. They're already attacking these stations in other countries.
OMG That's awesome, I burst out laughing when you said, "the stock market should be moved to Lost Wages(Las Vegas)."
There is not enough rare earths to make there ev dream happen not only that but the amount of gas and oil used by the machines that mine and refine the rare earths would have to 10x production and whats that do to the environment they say they are trying to save , any body that can think with half a brain has to be able to figure this whole idea is completely illogical
Guess many people have less than even half a brain but run govt and make stupid policy and all the thinking people just follow these morons
EXACTLY CORRECT!!! But lefties can only play checkers... can never see more than one move ahead... really bad chess players
What part of California? I'm in California, and there is plenty of gas stations. I'm curious 🤔
My mate just got rid of his plug in hybrid for a V8.
Because it was a pain in the arse to charge.
This is good talking points .
There's nothing wrong with an electric car. It's the battery technology that just isn't ready yet. We need a revolutionary groundbreaking power source that can run these cars for 6 months or better. Something the size of a shoebox would be wonderful. Of course, I'm just a dreamer.
Radioisotope generators? Just kidding, even if we ignore the slight issue of radioactivity, they can't provide enough power to move a car. Maybe one day we understand nuclear fusion well enough to make reactors the size of a suitcase, a few pounds of Deuterium/Tritum could last for ages and such a small reactor could probably even be properly shielded. But even then there's the problem that hydrogen just loves to leak out even the tiniest gap.
Sorry, but ICEs will be the best option for the foreseeable future, and we'd be better off finding a way of turning atmospheric CO2 back into fuel rather then stubbornly trying to get rid of ICEs.
I think they built about 500,000 in my state. There are new ones every time I go anywhere.
Even Triple-A Napa batteries barely hold a charge after the first year, but they do honor their warranty if you kept the receipt.
Even the small bike batteries are very dangerous when the bikes are stored inside. Many apt. fires in NYC start some significant fires.
Scottie. Not really. It depends. Old GMs were bad. Teslas? Not so much. But gasoline cars can also fire up.
And hydrocarbon cars catch fire *much more often.*
They do but there are far more ICE cars on the road, so the % is skewed. ICE cars can be extinguished easily, EVs cannot plus they reignite even days later.
@@christianadechaeney1831 The % on the road does not skew the % catching fire. Percent means out of 100.
I just bought an Engwe engine pro 750w 1000w peak and I live on long Island Ny...from my cold dead hands😑🤲
U Rock, u put common sense in any issue with cars and practical economical things about cars and industries👍💰👍
5:09 There are only three manufacturers of car batteries. Buy from Wal-Mart, or Costco. Johnson Controls or Deka. I get 6 years out of batteries here in NY. Even boat batteries (starting and deep cycle). Exide stinks IMO.
I'm in Pennsylvania I have never seen a changing stations.
I live in northern CA plenty of gas stations
Guessing you didn't go for the DJT stock. lol
What part of California you went to where there were no gastations? They are everywhere, sometimes one on every corner at an intersection.
I'm in Cali, they're building new gas stations in SoCal all the time, like it's a competition or something 😂
THANK YOU SCOTTY, YOU ARE VERY APPRECIATED FOR ALL YOUR HONEST HELP🙏
Just think about the talk that was goin on about electric big rigs and imagine the load it'd be carrying if it was flammable, Jesus Christ what is the world coming to, people need to really pull they're head out of they're asses, and make these new vehicles non existent
Go check out one of the Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. If it works half as good as a Lithium ion battery it is so light it wont matter. I thought the case was empty.
Anyone buy one yet
Batteries Plus has them for motorcycles and not as expensive as ion.
I want to retro fit a flat tracker with electric.
LiFePo4 cells have 40% less charge per pound then Li ion.
If an electric vehicle is plugged into the charge station and say someone comes up to you wanting to take your vehicle or rob you, can the vehicle even turn on and drive away with it plugged in? Or do you first have to get out and unplug then begin the start up process of driving away. This seems very dangerous if true .
I respect you. Could you please quote the information next time. I couldnt find a credible news. I am not supporting any side on EV vs GAS debate. But facts are must.

It's greener to ride your bike by self propulsion with your own legs than a battery electric bike.
'IT' bike is the best 👍
Not really. Humans on bikes are only about 25% efficient - about the same as a petrol powered bike. Electric bike would be closer to 33% (assuming electricity from coal).
And greener to ride an ebike than an e-vehicle or vehicle. Choices & options. How green you want to be is up to you.
E-Bikes have BMS on those Energizer batteries not easy blowing about EV's the city doesn't have electricity to charge 150, thousand cars!
Well, you cant bring an EV into an apartment building but you can bring those bikes and if that bike catches fire in a high rise , then you gor a problem.
