Now, imagine that happening in your garage.

Scary shit.

Firefighters and EMT's gotta have a pucker when they see an electric vehicle, as they pull up to a crash scene

This is for ALL batteries ... including cell phones ... 100 times as many devices as EVs ... so only one EV fire a month ... how many piston cars have to be put out over the same time span? ...

How many landline phones catch fire? ... ha ha ha ha ha ...

 

[Hang on Sloopy]

But we've all seen stuff like this.

Gasoline fires are due to a human action. Battery fires not so much.

So when a gasoline powered car catches fire , it is because some human lit a match?

Apples to oranges
And that act is usually called arson.

Rechargeable batteries cause fire

You have a rechargeable battery in your gas-burning car and truck.

What happens when gas leaks onto a hot engine?

What happens when gas leaks onto a hot engine?

Not much. Vapors starts fires not the liquid
Once again apples to oranges

It only took one hundred years to make it better but you want instantaneous perfection from other forms of transportation that have not been in production for 100 years?

• Battery Acid: Batteries contain sulphuric acid. ...
• Flammable Gases: Hydrogen and oxygen are produced as a part of the operation of the battery. ...
• Electrical Shock and Burns: ...
• Physical Injury from Weight of the Battery: ...
• Environmental Hazard:

Here's your problem you can't get past. Gas cars when running might start a fire but a human is in control. When EVs are being recharged no one is watching them. Fires will start.

Ask me how hard I laughed when I saw this?

Sure to give you tons of confidence at any EV charging station

fbl

How much carbon you supposed was released in that charge? maybe ten years of a few ICE vehicles?

compare the volume.

compare the volume.

Compare the costs ... building code requires a two-hour firewall between garage and home ... [ka'ching] ... because cars catch fire ...
