I also did not include any price for electric vehicle charging stations as that was quite a variable in terms of what number would potentially be required how many vehicles could be charged at home etc but of course that would be another significant expense that ultimately all users would have to pay for The unbelievable part is that it would appear.

Do they supply fire retardant suits to drive around in? The frightening thing is you could be sitting in the thing when it blows up.

The ICE fires compared to the EV fires seems like its not comparing like for like. An ICE fire is, i assume, likely to be mainly at the scene of a collision, or possibly as a result of spilled fuel contacting a source of ignition. So there is a viable way to anticipate potential fires. If your car hasnt been in a crash or isnt leaking fuel, it wont just burst into flames. EV fires though, from what I understand, can occur at literally any time. There seems to be no viable way to anticipate a fire. That to me, seems signifcantly more dangerous.

Combustion fires due to collision is usually fluids onto hot engine or components. A hose line rupturing or disconnecting and spraying in the engine bay while driving or an electrical fault is also common. EV fire in collision due to the battery rupturing is extremely rare as the batteries are extremely well protected and it would take a massive hit. Any fire once it starts is an issue regardless of what type of car it is. If a fuel tank ruptures and fire or a spark comes into contact then the ground around the car catches fire, runs down drains, goes into the bush etc. Heck, pulling over onto dry grass in your combustion car car cause a fire simply due to a hot exhaust. Something an EV could never do. Fire is bad no matter how it starts

I spent 23 years as an operational fireman in the UK (1988 - 2011) and went to many ICE vehicle fires. Since this EV grift started I've been thinking about how many of these incidents I attended where the cause of the fire was down to the collision or fault of the vehicle etc? I'll admit that this was obviously the case at times, however, and I guess my memory could be playing tricks on me here but, I'll suggest that the majority were caused intentionally - car thieves, fraudulent insurance claims, vehicles being close to another fire etc. Cars bursting into flames in collisions, or soon after, were pretty rare in my experience, they were also extinguished reasonably quickly. It would be interesting to hear other emergency service workers' opinion on attending these incidents - and to see if my somewhat shady recollection is correct or not haha. I also attended some vehicle fire incidents that were primarily caused by a fault with the electrical systems, oh the irony😁.

@@erictuffelmire6826 They do use a sheet of lithium metal. You really need to stop lying. Anyone can watch a video on youtube of the disassembly of a zero charge lithium ion battery and the long coiled sheet of the lithium and insulator. In one video the guy folded up the lithium sheet while he wore gloves and tossed it in water which caused it to ignite in an extremely violent manner. You just need to stop lying.

What does exposure to the smoke from an EV do to a Human being? The Lithium alone would be highly toxic and deadly as it burned.....!

it causes permanent loss of lung capacity in varying amounts depending on exposure. in short, if a battery fire occurs, do your best to avoid the smoke/long breath before the smoke comes, or damp cloths for filtering at bare minimum if unavoidable. a plane is a very bad scenario for this to happen on, even with the filtration it will spread through the cabin.

Also have to take into account now days most ICE vehicles are turbo charged which normally runs at around 800'C which isn't a problem until you have a fuel leak due to either age,poor maintenance or both.

The thing that gets me and no-one ever talks about - is that it's all very well these companies saying they will upgrade the spinkler systems for carparks. Trouble is a sprinkler system as we know it will be completely useless on an EV fire - period. Great video as always Simon. The EVangelists are being to see how bad it is because they're becoming more reactive in the comments because they know you are talking absolute sense.

Do we really know that EVs catch fire less often? The data we need is of parked vehicles of equivalent age, excluding arson.

I did not think you were old enough for the MRD quote!! Unfortunately, the standard of "standard" wiring in China is so bad that it may well have been the cause. But normal ICE cars would not have caused the whole buillding to be destroyed in its aftermath. In China BMW is known as (in Chinese) as "do not touch me" because BMW sounds very close to a Chinese phrase that means that . I wonder what they will come up with to match your "Burn your Dealership" ??? I was a volunteer fireighter for a few years, and have NVER been called to an ICE fire on the road --only to stolen vehicles that had been dumped. Yet now there is a fire almost every day, and it's always EV--hardly ever ICE, so where do THEY get the figures from. It don't stack up

They wont, they don't deliver nearly enough volume of water in a given time, plus the nozzle heads are fixed and cannot always deliver water where its needed. A firefighter will tell you that all they can really do with EV fires is perform local cooling with water jets. The batteries literally have to burn themselves out whilst firefighters control direction of spread.

How loud do we have to shout before someone listens to us. This was predicted from the outset and will only get worse as more EVs are bought. I cannot think of one redeeming feature where EVs are concrned.

That ship filled to the brim with EV's that caught fire in the coast of Africa was removed from the news but burned for more than 2 weeks on the open sea!

Nothing to do with the topic, but "Wow, what jolly rotten bad luck..." really cracked me up!

ICE fires normally occur on very old and poorly maintained cars. Their fires are also normally caused by the electrical circuits shorting due to damage or degradation of wiring insulation. Can you imagine how many EV fires there will be in 10 years time as old EV’s start to get neglected.

@Hitstirrer

Correct. Many studies have shown a pro-rata difference of 30 times as many for ICE fires against BEV fires. Not just numbers but per million cars in each fleet. Of course an EV fire is harder to extinguish but in a car park sprinklers would prevent a spread to the entire area, even if they don't put the isolated fire out. And sprinklers would then enable fire fighters to deal with the original problem - whether ICE or EV.

@@tommyking626 You make a good point. But there are other distortions to also consider. Most ICE car fires are actually electrical faults. And they can develop at any time in a cars life. Also, the early EV battery chemistry was much more prone to issues and they have more recently been addressed so that today you can hammer nails through some battery packs without causing a fire. Over time, EVs will become much less likely to have fires caused by the battery pack and instead just revert to the fires from arson, and 12v electrical problems. Some distortion also caused by some authorities counting all lithium battery fires in one category so that scooters, electric bikes, and even skateboards are classified in the same count. So that whilst you are right to question the age of vehicles it may well develop into even less EV fires as the aged , more prone fleet are scrapped. Whilst the ICE fleet ages at the same rate of fires that have always been recorded. So that the pro-rata % figures widen even more than presently seen.

I know that ICEV fires are more frequent than BEV fires. However, that does not allow fleet age. Are you sure that - on a comparable age basis - ICE fires are more common than EV fires? I don't hear or see very many instances of brand new ICEV's catching on fire.
