Things to love about EVs: 1. Child battery labor 2. Range anxiety 3. Risk of garage fires 4. Paying 20k more than a comparable vehicle 5. Battery degredation 6. Poor resale value 7. Reduced performance in cold, highway 8. Higher repair costs 9. Awful charging network experiences in the weather without restrooms 10. Higher insurance rates 11. Replacing tires more frequently But hey theres a tax credit!

@@yellowsnowman9157 every single point you tried to make here is all BS and fictional. All lies told to you by the big oil companies. Child labor might be correct however, everything else you buy from overseas is made with child labor as well. I’m assuming you aren’t walking around naked are you? 85% of cotton is made in China and about 50% of that is made with slave and child labor. So I hope you never buy anything cotton. I’ve had a Tesla since 2013 and have never had “range anxiety” even though I drive over double the national average. Risk of garage fires is almost 100 times higher with gas vehicles, new teslas are no more then a comparable gas car and is even less with tax credits, battery degradation isn’t real either, my 2013 model S battery with 270k miles on it is still at 95% while the average gas car heads to the junk yard at 240k. Resale value is just as bad on new gas cars. Gas cars also perform worse in cold weather, I get about 25% less mileage in Wisconsin winter with my Tesla while my Acura MDX got about 23% less mileage. I can’t speak to repair cost as I have never needed a repair since 2013. My Acura needed a fairly minor repair that cost $6500 though. I’ve never had a bad charging experience in the 12 years I’ve been driving teslas in winter, summer or any other time. I’ve also never been to a charger without a bathroom within walking distance. My insurance on my model Y is $30/month more than my Acura insurance was… not a big increase considering I save $300 - $400 month in gas costs. In the 270k miles I’ve put on my model S, I’ve never had a set of tires that didn’t get the manufacturer’s estimated mileage. 50k tires get 50k miles. Same as every gas car I’ve driven. Maybe you should drive a Tesla (or at least talk to others who own them) and see what you are missing instead of helping the oil companies spread their lies.

1997 Toyota RAV 4: have to unplug the battery when parked in the garage due to a parasitic draw that no one seems to be able to find. I also have AAA on speed dial. 🤣 1999 Chevrolet Malibu, 44,000 miles and it never ever gives me a problem. Both are considered “antiques” so I pay NOTHING to license…..no tax, no nothing. 😂 At least I know that my RAV battery will never start my garage on fire which is right below my bedroom.

You have absolutely no idea how polluting is an ICE car. That is one reason why they will all be replaced by EV. In fact ICE cars are prohibited in two countries as of now. Eventualy more will follow. Eve are more safe for the passenger/driver, for the environment. They save time for their ownwers by neve going to a gas station, no visits to the stealers. There are now quite a bunch of ev from eight to 15 thousans lower price vs an ICE car, and it top of it there ais arounf $3,00o savings each year per owner.

The lawsuits are reported to involve Mitsui O.S.K. Lines which operated the Felicity Ace. Insurer Allianz, which has been outspoken on the dangers of EV fires, is also reported to be a plaintiff in the suits. “The plaintiffs claim that the fire originated from the lithium-ion battery of a Porsche model and allege VW failed to inform them of the danger and necessary precautions needed to transport such vehicles,” according to Bloomberg. They report that both cases have not progressed in the courts while there have been settlement talks. It is normal to have CCTV photo video evidence

With small RC lithium battery's the pouch swells and bursts exhausting clouds of very toxic choking white/grey smoke rapidly followed by a flame jet which then continues as the remaining cells also ignite until the reactions are depleted. Have seen numerous now and all had the same characteristics. The dangers have been known in the RC world for many years now. Seems like the EV industry is on a similar learning curve but considerably scaled up.

ICEV fires occur hourly in the U.S. Fire inspectors see EXACTLY the same severity in ICEV fires (particularly with a full fuel tank and even more spectacular with LPG and LNG).

Battery packs do not explde. They get extremely hot, and all material close to them catches fire. You were very lucky with the way the gas tank was ruptured. If gasoline reaches the rear brake there will be a fire, Gas tanks are a lot safer than in the past. Only the gasoline that gets out of the tank is capable of ignition. The safety vents have flame arrestors, so if the tank is heated by a fire , it will not explode but the saftey vent will look like a flamethrower.

I worked at the Gigafactory in Nevada for a few years. This approach to putting out that fire will keep it contained but won't put out the fire. The thermal runaway has to run its' course. There are fire departments in Europe who are equipped with giant deployable baths of water they can dunk the entire car into with heavy lift equipment. That is the best approach I've seen, and also, is exactly how we dealt with battery pack fires at GF1. We had large baths of water deployed at the ready in numerous locations and we'd change those out every night or so as needed.

Fales in at least two of them. EV are more reliable than any ICE car simply because there are fewer parts. Only the wheels and the electric motor rotate. In an ICE car there are hundred os rotating parts, (water pump, alternator crankshaft, transmission gears (now they have 10gears), and another bunch of reciprocating parts. ALL ev are safer than an ICE car. In an ICE car (most of them) the ICE, and the transmission are at the front.. Those two try to get inside the passenger compartment during a frontal crash. The ev has no such components at the front most have the air conditioning system. When was the last time you saw an ev on the side of the road waiting for towing? ICE cars break very often, they are not reliable transportastion. Even the ev tires are more robust. EV vehicles are not a scam. Scam is what the oil companies make you to believe. ICE car kill people by exposure to its fumes ( a lot worse in the past when lead was used), kill people in accidents (human drivers are terrible drivers). Making gasoline from dwell to finished gasoline is a high pollutant process, and very energy consumption. The real oprice of gasoline in the US is close to $12/gallon, but the trillion dollars the US fed government gives the oil industry makes the gasoline to look cheaper to customers (only billions are used in ev aids, a factor of 1,000 to one.

The next part shows the lobby, & then the elevator door opens. Authorities were summoned, & 2 men drag the guy out. He looks like a burnt marshmallow.

Nope that jet flame was from the battery. There is not enough refrigerant in the air conditioner to do that.

You should look up refinery fires , especially the one by Henderson,nv. That one I was close by for an off road race . I think that explosion and fires lasted a week! Happens couple times a year at refineries and dozens if not hundreds of times a year at actual oil wells!

True I worked 10 years at a petrochemical plant. Fires were almost every week. operators catch them on time. The plant had two mayor fires after explosions. One person died. Worked another ten yars at a petroleum refinery. My first day there there was a huge fire and a person died . If I havent seen the previous two I would have quit before the first day was over. My last ten years were at a pharmaceutical facility.

When charging RC car batteries, the number one rule is you never leave them unattended just in case they catch fire. I think they should implement that rule on charging electric vehicles and make it a law!

Yes they are. You have no idea how damaging to the enviroment is driiling petroleum, tranport it, separate it in an oil refinery, the use one cut to send it to a petrochemicasl complex, to feed a gasolines reformer, to blend it, to transport it to the gas station. A lot of things can happen in that chain of events, Only the exhaust gases of the gasolin/diesel cars kill 7 million people each year. The ICE car contrary to what oil companies make you to believe is very damaging to the environment and one of the greates missuses of a limited resource, that can be used for a lot of things instead of burning it a t a 33 % efficiency. (from drill to combustion in the engine is only 20% efficient.) An ev with all loses is only 78% efficient(almostyt 4X that of a gas car), a lot more if the house has solar power.

Lithium battery technology is no joke. It must be respected for the “potential explosive” it is. You cannot cut corners and you cannot cheap out. The engineers must have the final say and the engineers cannot be forced to “fall in line” with management. Huge money is for the taking here, but management must learn to respect the experts.

You can´t get the fire out at an electric vehicle with using extinguishing water! These batteries a real problem if they start to burn, the fire is very high temperature and it creates it´s on gas to stay burning.

Imagine ev’s were the normal. But then along comes the ice car. You can fill up in minutes, get heat as a byproduct, less likely to burn your house down, weighs less meaning less damage to roads, doesn’t require special tires, doesn’t require so many precious metals meaning less mining with big diesel consuming equipment and is less costly to build. People would be flocking to the dealership to buy them

@@StacheDTraining The first thing I noticed in earlier Video reports was all the barriers. I am glade that you should the barriers were put up after the fact. The first thing you reported is where the plant is ect. It drives me crazy to see Local News reports replayed Natioanlly .. How am I supposed to know where Springfield is? There is a Springfield in almost every state. Do ICE cars catch on fire more often? I don't know there are 40 year old cars out there that have gasolines that rust out and leak on the exhaust system. Oil leaks ect .. Either they are a lot easier to put out .. or they can burn themselves out as soon as what is in the oil pan or gas tank burns out. Class 8 Trucks were burning down and burning trucks parked next to them in the early days of EPA mandated Diesel particle traps that inject fuel into themselves and have an ignitor to burn soot. I sure hope that the High costs for EV insurance does not get added to our ICE vehicle Insurance costs. I am glad I don't live in a city and use parking garages ect. There is a lot of Potential to use Hybrid vehicles. Imagine all the stops and starts and idle time that an ice engine would not have to be running in a pickup and deliver operation. Use Capacitors and much smaller battery packs .

​@mikeskidmore6754 ICE vehicles involved in fires are more often than not older models with lots of wear & minimal / poor maintenance, often during some sort of maintenance sparking the fire. They're generally not a big issue for responding FDs to put out, and quite often they don't even get called because they get put out with readily available hand held fire extinguishers before the fire can grow. A key point StacheD mentioned is frequency vs severity. As long as the Lithium Ion battery hasn't yet 'joined the party' the fire can be put out in similar fashion to an ICE veh fire, but once the battery goes into thermal runaway & starts off-gassing all bets are off.

@@georgeorwell5842 That's the point I was trying to make. Older ICE cars catch on fire because they have rusty gas lines and oil leaks. What will happen when Electric cars get old? There are millions of old electric cars abandoned in big parking lots in China. They are an environmental hazard to dispose of and as far as I know they really don't or can't recycle lithium batteries .

I live a couple of miles from the plant, and this certainly was a big event out there. It should be pointed out that the local fire department(s) responded and the fire was put out before 11:30 pm (within 1.5 hours), which is a testament to their training, ability to respond to such events, and the cooperation between Rivians' response team and the local fire and police departments. As mentioned, the containers were not there before the fire. My understanding from people that work there is that they were moved into the area to create a fire block during the event and to isolate the damaged vehicles after, in the event that one (or more) reignited, and to ensure that the vehicles weren't accessed before they (Rivian and the fire marshalls) could investigate root cause.
