@John Dillermand If it's so inexpensive then enlighten me as to why these heavily funded departments don't carry it ? Prime example i worked with a gasoline refinery's own fire department. The foam we had we rarely if ever used it as it was so costly to the point where Exxon told us they couldn't afford to let us use it on fully involved fires. We were basically told unless it's a major fire do not use it.

That was until Exxon sent the word down forbidding us to use it because of the cost.

With Tesla as the exception; So far the track record for mainstream EV’s has not been good. Nissan Leaf over promised and under delivered on range of the original Leaf. Not to mention failed to actively cool the battery which led to failure and recall. That was a disaster. Hyundai Kona Ev didn’t even last a year and was recalled and cancelled due to battery fires. Neither did Audi with the recall of all original E-trons. Now the Chevy Bolt, an even worse disaster. Think about how much investment GM made to develop the Bolt and now the will spend $800 million to buyback and recall ALL of them in the US. Not to mention the rest of the world. Any hope of winning people over to EV’s is gone. Do you really think one drop of fossil fuel was saved in the development, production, delivery and now recall of these disasters? Get real. Once the novelty wears off and reality sets in, the green new utopia will be filled with regret. Lol. The snowflakes will demand EV bailouts and ICE incentives.

His aren’t perfect either.

Between if any manufacturing defects, poor cooling, and the aggressive charge to discharge cycles are likely the reasons for EVs having battery fires short of ending up in a crash as normally it is still pretty rare for lithium batteries to catch fire. I doubt the fault is with the BMS overcharging or over discharging the cells where some of the cells are not balanced inside the pack. I wouldn't be surprised that the cause ends up being a combination of the above especially when there is fast charging involved coupled with inadequate cooling where there are hot spots forming across multiple cells leading to excessive wear then eventual thermal run away as cells begin to internally fail as the short. When everything is done properly by the manufacturer such failures shouldn't happen period from normal and intended use.

These companies don’t care if we die

Gm shouldn't ever build any electric cars. They've been plagued with electrical issues for quite a while in their regular cars.

I think the this could swing both ways in public and in science.

Remember the various airbag recalls, recent suspension related recalls, various other recalls, and even fuel related vehicle fires? Also, traditional cars still face lots of defects, recalls, and risk of injuries, even though traditional car technology is already over 100 years old. Li-Ion battery technology for EVs and such is maybe 10 to 20 years old and as such will still go through various further improvements. Modern Energy battery manufacturers are on the verge of introducing solid-state batteries that will further improve safety & performance. However, humans are running out of time to find ways to lower CO2 emissions and as such we are moving forward with this new technology. However, like everything news, there are risks involved.

It's too bad that this industry didn't get the support it required back in the 70's, when it was believed to have basically been burried by the oil industry. It's unbelievable that the world is so technologically advanced that we can land a craft on Mars but are constantly recalling vehicles and other products for sometime simple, often complex mistakes in engineering or manufacturing. There are too many recalls on what we buy, but this keeps us buying more. Our business model is of course geared towards profit, and it's the only reason corporations exist (officially on paper).

GM botched it with the EV-1 back in the mid 1990s. No surprise they botched it with the Chevy BBQ. What it means is that GMs electric attempts are as half baked as most of its cars are. The 2.7 turbo Silverados come in all the time with blown or soon to blow transmissions ( we have to dump special Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in there first and wait till it blows up before we fix it ) there are issues of all our engines eating lifters and valves ( probably cause they make them in China) and GM simply does not use quality parts.
