Is it just that the fires from a cell phone are less dramatic because of their smaller size or do they have the battery tech/construction down better so there is less risk of fires. I'll never own an EV because I just don't see the challenges and cost being worth the investment and I know many others feel the same, but I'm willing to bet most don't give a second thougth to carrying a cell phone or tablet and don't worry about them burning. |

Do you think the banning and dumping of millions of ebikes has an effect on the environment? Maybe they can melt them down in the coal fired furnaces they used to build them? |

Maybe the economic losses spurred them in to invest in safer quality control etc. No mobile phone users stick up for their phones though if there is a risk of fire I guess... Again I have an electric drill driver and electric strimmer digital camera etc . Never thought twice about plugging the lithium batteries in when recharging at home. |

Most ICE fires are extinguished with a small hand held B:C fire extinguisher. Which is less than the 5,000 gallons plus most EV fires take to control, NOT extinguish.
ya'll crack me up. |

How much water does it take to put out an ICE fire? Could you put out 83 ICE fires with the water it takes to put out one EV fire? Probably not. You've gotta park one of those in your garage with your family. For every time that EV would kill you, you'd have already died 83 times with an ICE. A little perspective is all. Ya'll are just so far gone. |

Alabama Firefighters Forced to Close Interstate, Pour 36,000 Gallons of Water Into Burning EV to Put It Out car accident on Christmas Day caused a fire that required four tankers, over 10 rescue organizations and 36,000 of gallons of water to put out. The catch? Not a single drop of gasoline was involved. Thanks to a process known as "thermal runaway," which causes lithium ion batteries to reach incredible temperatures, 36,000 gallons were needed to put the fire out. A normal fire in an internal-combustion car only takes 500 gallons. https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news...ut/ar-AA1meL5G |
