EVs need to be equipped with internal fire extinguishers that dump DIRECTLY into the battery at the press of a button. Commercial jetliners have this for their jet engines to quickly put out an engine fire while flying.
All the more reason to stay with conventional car
My ass hole clenched so hard wen that batteries flames went up the torches tip that could have been a big boom boom donuts crazy
In time, lithium and other EV battery fire retardant chemicals will evolve, as more and more EVs are driven.
Graphite is a GREAT conductor of electricity. Might want to correct that .
Love the way Jeremiah pronounces solvent. He has a degree though so I guess he is probably right.
Okay but how many more fires do we see on gas vehicles when oil drops on the exhaust?
So electric car waste more water
What’s the carbon footprint of a burning EV?
In my city I heard they put a container on top of the car to deprive it of oxygen.
but why you name this Why Tesla Fires are Impossible to Put Out and not why EV Fires are Impossible to Put Out?
Electric car fans needs to pay for the water bill
But the smoke from a 2 hour electric car fire is eco friendly green smoke and is safe for the environment.
20 minute gas car fires are destroying the environment.
Can't you just use foam?
I remember the old days when magnesium engine blocks became popular and it gave the fire fighters fits because burning magnesium laughs when you pour water on it. Put it under water and laughs louder.
Fire fighters learned to use foam.
I wonder how long he worked on that bit of hair hanging out of his hat?
Three days after crash…you fool
Don’t buy ev cars
As long as it's not a danger to anything around it, let it burn
Yeah, that's good for the environment
It’s actually more dangerous to use water because lithium plus water equals explosion
"what happens when we get air, fuel and sparks?"
Me: More Powaah?
i just realized the Hollywood trope of cars exploding when shot or falling from a cliff will come true
IC engines rule
You kind of forgot to mention that EVS are 20 times less likely to catch on fire than gas cars. Oops, honest mistake right, no agenda or anything.
Should be concerned ev🔥 it’s Waste of water and h20 cannot be man made or duplicate plus toxic waste from ev company dumping into waters but it’s all good training 🤬 just imagining every car ev on road stuck in traffic one catches fire then they all catch fire 🤖 not enough water not enough fire men retreat🔥
When Hammond trashed an ev it burned for a week. The cells kept chain reacting
That's why vapes blow up. You get someone who uses not so good batteries and boom.
You're reacting the lithium with oxygen forming lithium oxide. The chemical reaction is what's makes the heat.
I like how the firefighters h
Where I live just got a special container to put out electronic cars that's on fire
"this tesla must face a trial…"
"…..a trial by FIRE…..!"
