No way. As anyone who has been to China recently know, there are enormous quantities of EVs in underground car parks in China. Banning them would be highly impractical.

I can confirm that there is no insurance reason for any ban or restriction for EVs. The oil industry has been spreading all sorts of lies about EVs and passing it around.

Ningbo has a population of over 9.5 million, 2 million of which are in the rural areas. I wouldn't call that a ghost city.

[@amjedali5164]

Alibaba is wholesale, AliExpress is retail to order individual products and the whole ghost city means no one moves in until everything is complete including the infrastructure to a certain high standard in China. We in Australia can dream of everything being top notch until we move into a Newley developed area in Australia. It's like saying parts of Southwestern Sydney like Catherne Fields and Leppington is a ghost town because they have not moved in before most of the infrastructure is not 100% complete.

[@jayceh]

Agreed. I wouldn't let one of those super cheap, older, EVs in my garage either, much less underground. By that measure, there are lots of other vehicles that we don't allow in underground parking eihter: Septic pump trucks, farm equipment, big rigs, drill rigs, etc. I don't see one or two hotel garages banning a type of vehicle due to difficulty in an emergency to be a mark against EV or hybrids.

😂There are few locations ban Ev and pHEv enter to underground parking lot. Right now, it is the used car dealer on the social media supporting this. But soon, EV owner will fight back. It is on the news, we will see How bad it is. There are important figures from bussiness and goverment using Ev. Soon, those locations will get a note from the fire deparment stating" allowing Ev in underground doesnt not contract with our fire code. It is the owner's responsibility to maintain the building conformance to fire code with properly fire harzard managment system " then follow with a note from local comnerce bureau stating:" this discriminationtory practice is contracting comnerce regulation and we would like to to rectify this problem yourself before comnerce bureau interveine.

[@amjedali5164]

First of all, do they even have EV chargers in that building secondly are they saying if they do. You can't use those chargers otherwise to park your EV car in the building and they refuse too you can sue the crap out of them as you are paying to use a parking space there is no law against any cars as long, as the car is registered.

[@mikeshen9293]

I’m reading the sign here, you are right Sam

[@markpainter9749]

I talked to someone who lives in Xian about this. She said both neighbors of the underground parking space her family owns are planning to install chargers, but they talked to her husband first. The idea being that if he doesn't object, it will lessen their liability, on the off chance that there cars catch on fire while charging. This is an anecdotal story that makes me think their may be some concerns about EVs in underground garages in China, but certainly nothing like an outright ban. Also charging in an underground lot is the only practical method of home charging, for the vast majority of Chinese people.

[@leifvieri4372]

A chain aint stronger than its weakest link. I've seen several products where someone seems to have forgotten something. For example it was no fuse on the thin internal cables for charging a hoover board. A kid destroyed the charge connector by running into small stone. When trying to charge a short-cirucuit occured = fire. A VW ID.GTX caught fire and destoryed a house -the investigation pointed out the 12V circuitry as the drive battery and components were in good order, in spite of the fire. With this said -look for the weakest points. May be surprises like lack of fuses.

Sam, not sure if you missed it, as you are saying there was 1 EV that caught fire in an underground garage in S Korea. There were 2 separate EV fires in garages in S Korea within days of each other.

[@Missingtailpipesby]

surely the chances those EVs are were used NMC battery

[@cedriclynch]

​@@MissingtailpipesbySouth Korea has now introduced a law under which the manufacturer of every electric vehicle must declare publicly the make, model and batch number of the cells in the battery. I think all countries should do this; I suspect it will emerge that some makes and types of cells are much safer than others. I think the requirement to declare should extend to the battery management system. Most lithium battery problems I have seen have originated in the BMS rather than in the battery or any of its cells.

[@moss550]

Chinese EV are relatively safe, the problem are the off brands EV from BBA that were converted ICE cars. They just don't have the engineering compared to purpose built EV.

[@i6power30]

EV fire risk is a big one. We should not be in denial about it. EV fires are statistically less frequent than ICE car fires, but its intensity and temperature is so much that it poses more danger to the surrounding. I understand that fire can start after a collision or accident for both EVs and ICE, but I'd like to know the stats on parked vehicle fires. How often do ICE car spontaneously burst into flames in a crowded car park?

[@ChrisHPSNZ]

An ICE vehicle is more likely to catch fire while driving it🙂

[@i6power30]

@@ChrisHPSNZ That's better than catching fire while charging or parked while you are sleeping next to it. When ICE car is catching fire while driving you see it coming, usually engine overheating or similar signs, you are conscious about it and can pull over to road side and escape.

[@ChrisHPSNZ]

@@i6power30Consequences for sure, I own an EV, and charge outdoors should there be an issue. I own a Tesla as legacy automakers have a foot in each camp.. I am only interested in Tesla statistics as the benchmark, and they are not 0. The past 18 months I’ve driven past 3-4 burnt out cars none EV. There has been a house fire associated with an EV but unclear. It is definitely something that has to and will improve… just like crumple zones, seat belts collision avoidance systems keep improving.

[@georgebushwack]

Denying the risks of EV fires does not make it go away. Risk may be very small but if one combusts it is disastrous . EV or hybrid. Interior car parks will need advanced fire addressing systems to deal with the non 0 risk . Evs are interesting and part of pollution solutions but denying that they are a risk in interior parking is not going to change the real devastating fires that can happen.

[@ElfIng1986]

A recommendation from the Chinese government on electric bikes only as their batteries are considered less safe.

[@philipbrown9006]

If I were to buy an EV I would rather buy one using lead-acid batteries. These may only have a range of 60 miles and take 12 hours to charge but this would not be a problem for me as 99% of my journeys are less than this both ways. If I wanted to go further than this I would take the train and not have to worry about finding a charging station which would charge me up to 2.5x the normal price for electricity. Lead-acid batteries can be safely and economically recycled, there is no danger of these being banned anywhere due to fire risk and I would be able to sleep in my bed without having to worry about my car/garage/house catching fire whilst the batteries were charging.

Mate....the guy that runs that channel is making a living from pedaling Anti China rhetoric. I used to follow Serpentza when he lived there but then he found that his watch rate on KZbin skyrocketed when he posted negative stories. Suffice to say, the China Authorities chased him and his mates out of the country. And yes, he did do a video on that as well. He is by far the last place you should look for reliable information.

[@markpainter9749]

Most cities in China contain ghost cities. It is a result of massive over building. Rules in China are not necessarily reasonable, but they will be enforced, regardless, so you can't dismiss the possibility that a rule exists on the basis that it is not reasonable. As to EVs being banned from parking structures, I haven't heard anything about that, but will check local sources. It is more reliable to check such things in Chinese.

[@networm78]

China build cities in advance in preparation for influx of population from rural to urban. Most of the so-called ghost cities that are labelled as such 10 years ago are now populated. Is a 9.5million population Ningbo considered a ghost city? Was there over-building? Sure. But you can't possibly accurately predict how much infrastructure you need when planning 10 years in advance. Better to over build than under build. What may appear like huge over building is miniscule when put into the perspective of China. All the construction money circulates within China anyway, so it's practically "free".

[@JaymianF]

I bet it's because EVs are parking themselves in spaces they barely fit into, and everyone next to them can't get back in their crappy nonEV car kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2a7aaR8o5xnoJY

Dear fact checker and EV fanboy, recently You claimed that EVs in Norway are dominating due to people's willingness to switch to new technology ... which is not true ... main reason is a sales tax which in the case of private cars is 90% except the case of EVs... Historical situation in Scandinavia where private cars are considered luxury items and taxed accordingly. Most Maybe for start try properly check your videos first ... China EV fires and breakages are frequent even in the hands of popular Chinese influencers

[@Actually-y7j]

Usual Propaganda by the Viking. Nevs includes EVs which are more dangerous than ICE as proven by the stats as they are new. Just imagine the risk when they get older...

[@longstops1430]

How old would you like them to be before you believe the stats? Best way to test it would be look at the number of EV fires from cars 5 years or younger and the number of ICE fires from the same cohort. If you could establish that EVs of that age burn more often than ICE of the same age then you have an argument. However you have just presented a claim without any evidence. Perhaps you should be ignored until that evidence is presented.

@@longstops1430 Since the majority of EVs have been sold in the last 5 years, that is the study which needs to be done.
