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

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? Marlin! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83899610 United States 10/07/2022 12:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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." https://twitter.com/_/status/1578050503279316992 [link to twitter.com (secure)] source: [link to www.foxnews.com (secure)] Even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles both saw this coming. |

Only 20k for a new battery. |

EV Fucking Idiots User ID: 84308024 United States 10/07/2022 02:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76809123 United States 10/07/2022 02:32 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

User ID: 78110098 United States 10/07/2022 05:42 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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.
