[@mrentertainer47]

Manufacturers of such batteries need to be investigated because it is extremely hard to imagine that they were not aware of these toxic dangers!

[@etaxalo]

im pretty sure they are aware but it comes down to A) if the battery dont receive shocks/damages it can be considered "normal operation" (discharge-recharge) B) to swap out the specified chemical that releases said gases upon heating up could cost millions and the new chemical might not be so efficient as current. so until the new battery chemical is tested developed again for possible errors/efficiency in smaller form like tablet/phone batteries they will be hard pressed to re tool their entire lineup for EV batteries C) lots of chemicals can be considered "safe" as in it wont explode/release certain gases on their own, and in certain conditions they can react and combine with others to make dangerous chemicals (there are videos here on youtube explaining how you can make chemical weapons from 1-2$ home cleaning solutions)

[@mercdragons]

All lithium batteries have this chance of failure. My RC cars run on these batteries and have caught on fire.

[@ghz24]

​@@mercdragonsNo, that's completely wrong lithium iron phosphate and lithium titanate do not suffer from thermal runaway. That is they will not burn vigorously if at all. It has to do with the cathode material and whether it produces oxygen when decomposing. Sodium ion also are very hard to get burning.

[@HiwasseeRiver]

I used to work for a lithium company in the US. We produced lithium metal and lithium chemical compounds. If a material become problematic we took it to an open place and let it "weather". Sooner or later it would decompose or detonate. In many cases we never new when or how long these reactions took, but we had the time and distance to let it cook off without injuring anyone. We also had a water reaction system that quenched materials and we recycled the lithium containing solutions. I witnessed a very health detonation there one time and was knock off my feet by the shock wave. Twice during my years there we stopped making products that were uniquely dangerous. One detonated if crushed, the other was hyper toxic. The process for the hyper toxic material was sold to an overseas company and product goes into batteries. Knowing what I know about lithium I drive a petroleum fueled vehicle and invest in oil companies.

[@ghz24]

@@HiwasseeRiver Really? What specific chemical used in lithium ion batteries was so toxic it was outsourced to foreign countries? You mentioned no specific chemicals except lithium metal which is not present in lithium ion batteries. You don't sound like a chemist was it your job to take dangerous stuff outside? Chemical companies are dangerous without any lithium needed even raney nickel processes can go badly.

[@ghz24]

No there are safe battery chemistries to use but range is reduced a little and the consumer is all sbout yhe range not safety. The new standard range tesla will not burn due to LiFePO batteries being used. I'll get an EV when they use lithium titanate batteries and can be charged at -30 with zero chance of burning.

@@hamaarahof5712 I'm worried that one of my neighbours buys an EV (not a case of if, but when maybe), it ignites and the fire spreads to my house (small land blocks here, so very close proximity of dwellings) which would be a 'best case scenario' ... however a 'gas cloud explosion' in a garage could be even more catastrophic. I envisage that not only vehicle insurance costs will rise, but general house insurance (building & contents) will go through the roof to the point where people won't insure, and then the insurance companies will start to charge even more for those people who actually purchase insurance. And it may not even be an 'EV' that causes the disaster; think of scooters & power tool batteries. Just recently, I saw a KZbin clip of a Milwaukee battery being crushed in a hydraulic press ... then I suddenly realised why Milwaukee brand their batteries as 'fuel'. Scary stuff.

All of the sudden, as I was watching TV, I heard a hissing and looked down and one of the batteries just spontaneously started to combust.

We have that in Norway already. No need to imagine. Like 20%~40% of the cars at the nearby shopping mall parking garage are EVs. An airport parking garage went up in flames here recently. Started by an ICE car, of course, as is common. The garage had several EVs in them. Do you want to guess how many EV battery packs ignited? Zero. Not a single one started burning despite the hell-fire around them fuelled by gallons and gallons of extremely flammable gasoline. So you want to imagine a parking garage full of EVs? Maybe one of them catches fire for some reason. A freak accident. But it can happen. What next? Nothing.. the fire would most likely not spread at all. Maybe the interior of the cars next to it would start burning. But that’d be small fires that wouldn’t spread very fast. So the fire department would have plenty of time to get to and deal with that one EV fire. They would have to douse it in water for a long time, but that’s manageable. On the other hand, if gasoline starts to burn in a parking garage the entire place will quickly become a lost cause. There’s a reason Hollywood uses gasoline for the explosion effects: it’s a perfect recipe for huge fireball.

Been driving Uber here in Southern California, using rental cars. Several other people showed up yesterday at a Hertz dealership to rent cars. Everybody else wanted a Tesla. People want to be cool and do whatever's the coolest thing. A while back I drove a Prius for a week and put it through the paces, driving in each of three modes. I wasn't impressed. Rode in a Tesla the other day, the outside door handles are made for right-handed people. I notice stuff like this because I'm a lefty. You have to press the left side of the handle with your thumb, then grab the right side that pops out with your fingers. If you want to use your left hand, you have to press the left side of the handle with your pinky and ring finger, then grab the handle with your middle and index fingers. Think about it. When you get in and out of a car, the hand you'll use depends upon which side of the car you're getting into. Even the right-hander will use their left hand on the outside handle of a door on the left side. If they use their right hand, the door is right in the way of their body, trying to get into the car. If it's a Tesla, they have to do the two-step every time they get into the car, or open it with their left hand. That's very difficult for right-handed people, who seldom have to accommodate the left-handers world. It's plumb stupid, besides the awful fact of the huge electric battery.

​@@CharveL88 No, it's not. The usual fuels used in ICEs are quit stable, and they require oxygen to burn. They are stored energy, but its energy held chemically, released only at high temperatures and when mixed with air. EVs have their energy stored electrically, it's a electrical charge, like a loaded spring. There is nothing required for it to release its energy. Once you critically damage the battery you can't stop the process. You could put the battery into a vaccum, cover it with water, throw it into a pool of liquid nitrogen, nothing stops the release of its energy, all while it creates toxic fumes. You can literally just put it into a container and wait till it's burned out.

As a tow truck operator who has had to deal with this. I can tell you the main reasons this happens are as follows. #1, Defective bateries. #2, Rapidly discharging the batteries below ten percent. So if you go from one hundred percent charge all the way down to ten percent in a very short span of time and you keep going hard on the battery beyond ten percent. You get thermal run away. In an electric vehicle , if you're down to ten percent and you're not too far from home and you're still on the highway. What do you do? Most people don't even think about it. Most people don't know the dangers of driving below 10% battery charge. After you've been running it hard the whole way. A lack of education and proper safety equipment to shut down the car and prevent it from running below ten percent battery charge after it's been running hard. Would greatly mitigate the problem. Then rapidly charging the battery after it's been fully discharged or nearly fully discharged immediately after heavy use. Fast chargers are great for convenience. But they are bad for battery stability. Leading to more explosions. It also does not help that battery packs are massively oversized. Leading to battery cells being packed very closely together. Preventing proper cooling of the cells. Most people don't need more than 50 to 100 miles of range. Leading people to have to buy a massave 500, 600 or 700 mile range battery. Then they forget to charge it. Until it's very low. So you have them driving around with a low charge. State batthree and then they run it below ten percent while they're running hard. Then they immediately charge it once they get home on a fast charging station , leading to the ideal conditions for a battery explosion...

My first exposure to lithium batteries was 15 or more years ago while flying electric powered RC airplanes. The batteries were horribly unstable, in part, due to the high power demand and discharge rates placed on them in the hobby. They were unsafe to charge, use, or damage. You had to charge them in a fireproof box, or at a minimum, outside in a terracotta pot or a grill. And there was no safe way to dispose of them once they "puffed," other than to puncture them with a long metal probe in order to have them consume themselves in a controlled setting.

Have you ever asked if gas cars explode or catch fire?

[@richardmerriam7044]

I'm a radio hobbyist and did several months research before buying any Lithium Ion cells. I follow every safety/hazard warning. First, use only the recommended charger, and never leave your residence while charging. I have a fire extinguisher no more than 10 feet away. Hopefully there will be a much safer battery formula coming soon. Great video!

[@ghz24]

What the hell? Someday? Someday was 2 decades ago we have had LiFePO batteries for decades and they have none of these problems. Lithium titanate batteries have been around for more than a decade and have zero propensity to burn and can be charged to 80% in 10-20 minutes depending on manufacturers criteria. They also have a cycle life of 15 to 20 thousand cycles (that's more than 50 years at one cycle per day. Sodium ion batteries also don't burn like this. How did you miss these obviously safer more durable batteries during your months of research? Or did you decide that weight was more important than safety?

I’m both very curious and quite horrified as to what the trigger threshold will be that brings serious pause to the rollout of electric vehicles. Will it be the destruction of several large buildings a few deaths or lots of deaths or in the worst case so we see mass casualties from one big fire.

Now we read this apparently originating from the WSJ: "The Texas Public Policy Foundation’s fall study examines a rule in which EVs “improperly benefit from an erroneous interpretation by the U.S. Department of Energy of a series of laws” promoting alternative fuel vehicles, but “clearly excluding electric vehicles.” Carmakers can arbitrarily multiply the efficiency of EVs by 6.67, meaning a 2022 Tesla Model Y which tests at the equivalent of about 65 mpg in a laboratory is counted as having a compliance value of 430 mpg". Environmental groups questioned the legality of the rule; the Wall Street Journal broke the story last week, claiming that such inflated numbers have “no basis in reality or law.”

Something I've noticed in the last couple of years is the popularity of lithium batteries in RV's, and it wouldn't be so bad if they were mounted on the outside of the RV but people are putting them inside in order to keep them warm and operable in cold weather, usually under the bed of all places.

I've identified eV fire in the car park as the single biggest threat to my business. Spontaneous ignition, self-sustaining combustion, runaway exothermic reaction, explosive gas ignition, toxic gases, wide area toxic contamination of surfaces, runaway fires between vehicles in a rank of bays, secondary fires in buildings downwind of the fire site, and large-scale toxic contaminated waste disposal requirements are likely risks - and certainties in the fullness of time. Our experience of dealing with flood effects indicates that such a complex incident could close our business and others in the vicinity of the car park for several years - and that's for an unenclosed car park. Put all that into a multistorey car park above a shopping mall, or the car park under a high-rise residential of office block with evacuation and structural damage sustained, and the problem is bigger by several orders of magnitude. It will only take one such catastrophe to make the risk of fire in a car park uninsurable, thereafter causing insolvency of the proprietors of the location of subsequent disasters, and leaving the cost of the clean-up to fall on the public purse. That could lead to the abandonment of substantial part of a city. After the blitz, bomb-sites in the City of London - where real estate was amongst the most highly valued in the world - were still not cleared 30 years later.

A friend of mine is an over road truck driver, and the company he works for was hired to truck salvaged plywood from Baltimore harbor MD, the ship in which the plywood was being shipped was a bulk container ship from china carrying 65 thousand pcs of plywood and tesla batteries, about 3 years ago, the ship hit heavy seas and the batteries broke their ties and caught on fire,the captain was forced to flood the hold to save the vessel. The plywood was thrown about like a deck of cards. I wondered why 2 years ago the batteries were shipped to the US considering the tesla plant in CA and Texas? Considering the strip mining and horrible future battery recycling issues, there's no way I'd even consider an ev until they make them much more feasible.

When I first got to Hawaii as a Marine, we were stripping out "emergency lighting systems" from all the shops because they were self-igniting and causing shop fires in the Avionics shops. It was known back then despite the fact nothing was said about what kind of batteries they were. That was 1977. I found out the battery type four or five years later in avionics at Cherry Point air station.

Statistically the opposite is true. EV fires are extremely rare. ICEV fires have led to quite a lot more house fires. But both are still quite rare compared to other causes.

[@StofStuiver]

@@zaibian7 Thats utter nonsense. Internal combustion engines are extremely safe. Nothing will ever happen when they are not in use. IN use you only get a fire when fuel system is compromised, ie in a crash, with spark. And even that is rare. EV cells are inherently unstable and can explode or catch fire in normal use, in crashes, and even when they are not in use.

G'day Simon, Louis Kats here in live in Melbourne & work on the docks driving a semi on & off the wharf in my V6 Mercedes Benz Diesel Semi. In regards to Cement Australia after the fire on the in bound ramp on the Westgate Bridge recently. Cement Australia depot is on Lorimer Street, Fisherman Bend. So driving a semi from VICT to DPW you get a great view into there yard being high up in the cab behind the covered up fence. I can tell you there are 4 Kenworth T 609 day cab semi's converted to these Electric Semi. Currently sitting in the same area for last 2 months now half pulled apart earning no revenue for Cement Australia. They would I estimate cost close to $ 400,000 a pop for each going off what a normal Kenworth would cost. I will keep you posted Simon if they hit the road again. Since the fire you stopped seeing them on the road. BTW great channel never miss a episode. Cheers Louis Kats 👍

I have worked ambulances, fire departments and rural hospitals since the 1970s: many rural fire departments will admit that they are not ready for EV fires and are concerned about the 'push' toward EV vehicles. Back in the late 80s/ear;y 90s, several "ambulances", due to more intensive training (mainly due to not having to travel to the training, rather than the training coming to the local area as in the past), dropped down to "first responders" in southern Missouri/northern Arkansas... Every dept has a few people qualified in HAZMAT, but the incoming EVs will force everyone to become 'certified'; many of the elderly firefighter (around my age) are seriously thinking about just quitting ahead of the mandatory EV upgrades
