Time To Stand Up To The Lies And Propaganda Of The Electric Vehicle Zealots - Destroy 'Em With Facts

[@AA_RAWN]

I have been an project engineer for Toyota Forklift over a decade now and was placed on a project to set up a robotic weld cell to weld up an encasement for the all new lithium ion battery that the company was all excited about until every battery they tested by multiple manufacturers caught fire. After a year of back and forth, the project was cancelled and Toyota decided they didn't want the liability. So I'm 100% validating your content! Keep it up 👍

One phrase you did not use... "Self sustaining fire". These batteries not only have the fuel for the fire but the chemical degradation produces it's own oxygen. Basically a fire you cannot put out considering the location and enclosed nature of the battery pack. You mentioned the toxic fumes, and it's important to know the fumes are not like a regular fuel and vehicle material fire. The fumes have metal fumes that are very toxic in comparison and most likely any inhalation would result in permanent disability. Even ash landing on your skin can be very toxic with extraordinary potential for injury!

[@peteloomis8456]

Those batteries are like magnesium when it catches on fire because it burns hot and can burn right through cement and the only way to stop it is to smother it out by depleting oxygen to it . I used to work in a aluminum die cast foundry where we also used zinc and magnesium for parts that were being made and we had a few magnesium fires and they aren't easy to put out compared to a aluminum that's spilled at 1,200 degrees on a cement floor where it will either crack the cement if it's not thick enough or it will just cool off and harden to where it can be broken up with a shovel and shoveled up and basically thrown back into the remelt furnace but with magnesium it has to be completely smothered with sand to take the oxygen away because water won't stop it and if it's not deprived of oxygen it will literally burn right through the cement floor and keep burning .

[@DobbsAutomotiveInspections]

[@gsilva220]

Exactly, batteries have both oxidant and reducing substances inside, so when they catch on fire, it's basically like gunpowder, but you can't put it out because of the several layers of metal cases and insulation.

Actually ICE vehicles are still far more likely to burn to the ground. That's just due to the fact there are a lot more of them around and they have been around for a lot longer too. Don't pretend that your car burning to the ground is still exclusively an EV problem. Hot oil, fuel or both dripping on a hot vehicle exhaust is still sufficient to turn an ICE vehicle into a melted marshmallow.

Tony, I’m a missionary in Ghana, West Africa. There is a reason that they are asking on airline flights that they are now asking if any of the devices you are carrying in your bag has Lithium Ion batteries. I have a wind turbine and solar panels to help with power generation when power goes off (very often). I cannot ship lithium ion batteries from the US to here. Why? Fire hazard. You have nailed it. I am sending this video to my loved ones to inform them. I’m joining this fight with you to influence those within my scope of influence. The problem we face is that these climate warriors have made this their religion. They are totally closed to the true science about everything to do with climate. The fact is co2 is on the low end of the spectrum of photosynthesis being able to take place. That is why greenhouse operators are pumping co2 into their houses to enhance plant growth. Plants breath co2 like we breath oxygen. Our power grid is probably at least a hundred years from being able to handle the load of charging the number of vehicles the government are pushing forward by 2035. Instead of us developing nuclear power generation which is one of the cleanest sources of fuel these idiots oppose that for wind and solar that is destroying vast parts of the world for the rare earth minerals used to make these batteries that are spontaneously bursting into flames. Common sense has gone out the window.

[@minigunner1218]

The irony with pro-EV activists being against nuclear is that lithium-ion batteries and nuclear reactors operate under the same principle: the controlled release of energy from an element/compound that really wants to release it all at once. Nuclear's had decades of research and safety improvements, yet is still treated as dangerous and dirty; meanwhile li-ion batteries are being churned out like covid vaccines and any evidence of them not being as safe as they're touted to be is thrown out as misinformation.

We did this in the same concrete slab for over 10 years, hundreds and hundreds of cars and, when we washed the concrete down every now and then, there were NO DAMAGE to the concrete, even after all those years. The reason, a burning car doesn't create enough heat. Now, take one humungous EV battery cooking off, VENTING DOWNWARDS and there you have it. The perfect scenario to what we witnessed on the video.

I think it should be rather obvious that it was a hybrid fire. Like UT says, gasoline does not spontaneously combust. Maybe a wire inside the gas tank running to the fuel pump shorted or something. Problem, gas doesn't burn hot enough to damage concrete. How about diesel? Problem is, diesel either requires extreme heat or compression to ignite, so a little spark in the fuel tank wouldn't do it. With gasoline being unable to spontaneously combust and diesel being even more difficult to light off by accident than gasoline, the sheer discrepancy in the amount of heat and violence of the fire, anyone with more than one brain cell should be able to say "ok that's neither a gas nor a diesel fire, hydrogen vehicles would go up rather violently but are a rare gimmick, nuclear vehicles didn't make it beyond a concept, bicycles aren't themselves combustible and do not carry combustibles other than the rubber tires and plastic trim, which require an open flame to ignite, clearly it's either a hybrid or EV fire." But unfortunately people are so blinded by the promise of EV shills that they won't think. They'll only follow blindly.

Add to that the fact that the cars are all catching fire and it’s obvious to any sane person that they’re just not safe and not a viable alternative to real cars.

I have been an industrial electrician for over 40 years. I am very familiar with electric motor drives. Now that I am retired I play with cars. In my opinion electric drive technology for automobiles in mass production is being pushed on us way to quickly. Current technology that we have is not ready for it. Be it battery technology or electronic controls that power the vehicles, it is just not ready to compete against traditional gasoline or diesel powered vehicles. You are spot on Tony about us being lied to. There are so many reasons why battery powered vehicles are a bad idea. For some reason liberal governments are pushing hard for it. Why? Electric vehicles do not benefit the environment in any way when initial battery production and and end of life disposal are factored in. Not saying anything about the utility companies being able to support an EV being charged at every home or work place. Or how are people in apartment communities supposed to keep them charged?

Hello Uncle Tony. Been watching your videos for a few years and I am a huge fan, of you and common sense. First, my curiosity of the propaganda surrounding EVs has finally been said out loud! Thank you for speaking truth. Second, I've been into RC cars for several years and when lipo batteries replaced nicads they came with huge cautions and warning of spontaneous combustion. They, in fact will burn your house down and need to be stored in a safe fireproof location at all times. Thousands of videos showing the carnage. All race tracks require them to be in fireproof bags while charging before a race. That being said, imagine a battery 1000 times bigger! I'm with you UT, the truth needs to come out!

Mannn! I tell ya! Spot on! I used to be into RC cars and planes too. Need to get bk into that one day. One time I hooked a lipo battery up backwards on my RC plane that ran the servos and receiver and such. Don’t ask me how I did it. Wasn’t paying attention and it was one of those tiny plugs that connects the receiver to the battery pack and somehow I managed to jam the male end in backwards and shoooooot! That sucker got hot INSTANTLY and welded the terminals together and that pack caught fire in the matter of 30 seconds! Burned my plane allllll up and if it had been dry conditions at that time it probably woulda burned the field up that I was standing in too. Those lipos are NuTs and shouldn’t be under ppls roofs in their homes! Screw that!

And our two criminal gangs in power have signed on to the WHO treaty, and pretend for now that they won't really do what they are "told". HA! Learn their massive embezzling scam so we can dismantle their matrix of lies and end their evil reign - they are money ADDICTS who are totally derelict in their duty and unfit to govern! Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked; that is because the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money! The major embezzling scam is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money. They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us. The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries. They took over the UK, Australia, Canada and NZ in the 70s-80s, and the embezzling done by taking over so many government-funded systems services and assets - especially in the UK, the list is shockingly long - is what gave rise to the billionaire class in the 80s! The liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WEF and the WHO; and created monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others that got so big by participating in the embezzling globally. We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity. They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need. Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us. They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools". The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally derelict in their duty and UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.

I would have no problem debating Tony. I don't even own an EV, nor do I believe in anthropogenic climate change. I did own a hybrid until last year but lost it in a collision with another vehicle. My switch back to an ICE car was due to selection and economics in the current market, but I would rather have returned to a hybrid or EV. Here is why I don't like this video. For every one lithium battery fire in an EV, there are 20 fires in an ICE car, based on data I was able to find. And while the fatality rate may not be 20-fold greater, I find it hard to believe that ICE fires aren't linked to more deaths than EV fires. Where in this video does Tony make mention of this fact and give a balanced overview? He doesn't. His wild-eyed rant is like something I would expect from some 15 year old sobbing about his favorite pronoun on TikTok.

its worse than a flare.....flares are not as hot as any lithium fire

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

I've seen some of those electric dirt bikes that are pushing 70mph capability. The acceleration is insane so they are drawing the attention of thrillseekers. Saw one guy who had a new one that he had just bought and took it for a spin. He was really getting it up and moving. He was riding in an area with lots of trees so it wasn't in the middle of a city, but there was some traffic. He approached an intersection with a 4 way stop. As he's waiting his turn, the bike starts making a hissing sound and starts to bellow smoke. He just gets it off the road and it ignites into a runaway fire. He has no choice but to just sit there and watch it burn to the ground.

[@johnscott5435]

@treelineresearch3387 I understand the concerns. I just never leave the batteries unattended when charging, and never leave it on the charger for longer than necessary. The problem with leaving outdoors is that the batteries don't like heat or cold and you especially don't want them to get wet.

Yep. And did you know that for at least 20 yrs now, many if not most of the commercial passenger jets have technology secretly installed in them that has the ability to take total control of the aircraft out of the hands of the pilots? It's true. Some unknown entity from God knows where can suddenly take control of the commercial pilot's aircraft against his will, and fly it anywhere they so chose. It also interferes with all communication with ground control and other aircraft. A retired Air Force Colonel ( sorry I forget his name ) years ago gave seminars & interviews all over, proving it by producing the top-secret documentation that shows the technology and how it must be kept secret from the flight industry. This explains those handful of flights carrying certain V.I.P's that mysteriously "disappeared" during flight and has never been recovered. But of course it never made the news by the corrupt mainstream media.
