EV FIRES

Even worse in a Tesla following a crash because with the battery on fire you can't open the doors from the inside and with the door handles retracted neither can anyone from outside.

For decades Vauxhall ignored the fact that their six inch high fuel intake funnel would shear in an accident and spew out fuel which would often ignite as a result.   It took the publicity of thousands of unnecessary deaths for the issue to be addressed.  At least, that’s what BBC docs. told us way back.  This EV issue might be treated with similar contempt by the responsible parties?

Stupid, abusive man.  Fool of the forum.

Grow up wee jimmie, bit late now I know.

Stupid man.

In Sanfransico Waymo cars stopped working due to electricty
FIRE

A new meaning for FIRES

They are starting the initial testing of Waymos now in London. They will have safety drivers to begin with then autonomous in 2026. I can't wait til they come to Wembley. I will take the risk.  In 127 million miles of fully autonomous operation Waymo has reported zero passenger fatalities.

The big issue is if an EV battery catches fire on a Portsmouth to Santander ferry while it's in the middle of the Bay of Biscay

The Waymos in SF stopped because they all detected out of service traffic lights during a city-wide power failure.

Waymos are designed to be fail safe.

Just needs a software patch and they'll be good to go.

They were parked tightly together so I suspect one went up and it quickly spread.

At the moment the government simply do not have a handle on batteries coming from China/Vietnam.

I gather these fires are difficult to extinguish, have we had one
on a car ferry yet, could they cope with one?

A new study by Anidjar & Levine on vehicle safety has shown that internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, including those that run on gasoline or diesel, experience 60 times more fires than electric vehicles (EVs).

With 1,530 fires per 100,000 vehicles compared to EVs’ 25 fires, this contrast is just one of many findings reshaping how we understand road safety and public health.


And EV's don't use main battery for the doors,upon being involved in a reasonably heavy impact or immersion in water the doors auto open, the main batt is auto disconnected via small explosive connectors which are supplied juice via the 12v batt.


Most if not all EV's have manual means to open windows /doors.

Hth....muppets.

You can extinguish an ice fire relatively easily, it's not the number.
it's the ferocity. And there's really no need to be rude.

Luton Airport was ICE induced fire, Firebrigade were on scene quick enough, they could not contain yet alone extinguish it.
1400 vehicles destroyed and not a thermal runaway involved or if there was it was missed/lost  in the mass ice imolation.
Kinda makes a mince out of your easily extinguished remark?

Please do some research and arm yourself with factual evidence and I would be happy to debate the issue but this isn't what it's about, it's about  old farts spouting pish. Imo


Had decided to post before your poast and wasn't really directed at you but reading your silly comment again its clear you too have an agenda against EV's, tbh I understand not liking knew tech but this is more than that.

Muppet or old farts, prob a bit of both, which best describes you?

Eds got 200 Billion to spend it will all Be sorted

Don't talk to the ignorant c**t, he wouldn't talk to people like that face to face
or he wouldn't be posting anywhere

You threatening me?
