Re: Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian
It's not from 'corrosion' at all, and which takes time.

Lithium batteries, when shorted, often catch fire within a minute. The salt water shorts them and fire can happen as quickly as within 10 seconds.

Lithium batteries are a known fire risk from being shorted or from being overheated, and the fires are often very rapid violent events.

Yes, water has one valence electron which makes it very conductive. It sounds like the batteries are being shorted when water makes a circuit unleashing the HUGE CURRENT potential.

QUESTION: Do the cars need to be running to ignite?

Or, is it once they are wet, they can simply combust on their own?

Does saltwater make a difference compared to pure H2O?

Can 'Fire Foam' be used, like the stuff used at airports?

What about the coal or gas fired power plant that made the
electricity for the battery...

Ah...forget above point I just made, I know, we don't talk
about where the electricity comes from.
It comes from windmills and solar farms...right?

A top Florida state official warned Thursday that firefighters have battled a number of fires caused by electric vehicle (EV) batteries waterlogged from Hurricane Ian.

EV batteries that have been waterlogged in the wake of the hurricane are at risk of corrosion, which could lead to unexpected fires, according to Jimmy Patronis, the state's top financial officer and fire marshal.

"There’s a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start," Patronis tweeted Thursday. "That’s a new challenge that our firefighters haven’t faced before. At least on this kind of scale."

"It takes special training and understanding of EVs to ensure these fires are put out quickly and safely," he continued in a follow-up tweet. "Thanks to [North Collier Fire Rescue] for their hard work."

If the battery is charged it can short AT ANY TIME. It DOES NOT have to be running.

What kind of stupid fool buys an EV, especially given the clear need for emergency stress today’s environments place on vehicles.

Hurricanes in Florida, massive heatwaves and electrical blackouts in the west, the need to make an emergency escape from wildfires in the west, blizzards and snowstorms in the north and Midwest……

One is a fucking idiot to buy an EV and expect it to work and exceed standard needs in these emergency environmental conditions.

You are totally fucked in a SHTF situation if you are relying on an EV.

Re: Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian
My daughter is an engineer and actually worked in R&D for batteries. She said it takes 80,000 miles before the EV battery breaks even with the environmental damage caused in its creation vs gas cars. It is also around that time that you need a new battery.

Anyone who buys into this EV bullshit to “save the planet” has no idea how they are made or even the basics of just WHERE our electricity comes from to charge the damn things!
I’m sure most of you on here also remember the Hunter Biden contract with the Chinese EV company? There’s an evil behind this push that is so sinister that it’s sickening. As per usual, the sheep buy into it hook line and sinker just like everything else, the planet be damned.:(

I’m seriously getting to the point where I can’t stand 90% of the population. Most people are so stupid you can barely have a conversation with them. It almost feels like we are in an Invasion of the Body Snatchers scenario. What has happened to the world in just a few years is just incomprehensible.

Re: Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian
I just had a thought...from many years ago.
The FORD PINTO!

I never saw one explode into a fireball
But then again I was like 7 years old back then.
We had a station wagon, Buick, we were a GM family.
And I rode in the way-back seat...remember the way-back seat?
Sure you do.

My favorite version was the seat facing looking out
the back window.
I'd wave to people, at stop lights and on the Freeway.
We called them Freeways back then, I don't hear that term anymore.

So...being that I'm not an expert on the Pinto, I knew
my father though Ford was junk.
And the Pinto seemed to prove that point.

Are electric vehicles PINTOS?

In history, next to the photo of a Pinto catching on fire
will be a photo of a Tesla burning with a caption that says,

"Nobody thought a car as dangerous as the Pinto would ever be
made again, but the electric cars of the early 20's was a disaster of tremendous proportions
especially after the Big X-Class Flares caused millions to explode
all at once, burning down most of the major cities
around the world, with The United States of America burning on fire
for more than one year.
