Unlike gas cars, which every single fire department in the US has been dealing with for over 100 years, electric cars need different equipment to put them out. Not all fire departments have the stuff on hand for battery fires. In 20 years this will probably change.
Yeah but air doesn’t cause gasoline to just combust. You kinda need some sort of ignition to ignite the fuel. Batteries just need to be Chinese made, or some air.
Also good luck putting it out. You just have to watch it burn.
Fuel is very pressurized coming out of the fuel tank pump, and 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 pressurized by the time it gets to the injector rail. When it comes out it will be atomized, and to a stoichiometric mist EVERYTHING is an ignition source.
Cool, evs are still dangerous and you can’t stop that fire. At least the gas will explode and can be dealt with unlike batteries. I never once said gas is not a danger, but that EVs pose a worse threat WHEN they fail because of the extreme heat or floods etc…
Watch the news once more and more of these time bombs are on the road. It’s only going to happen more and more especially once they start sitting around in junkyards and people leave them in their driveways to rot.
Unlike gas cars, which never start on fire.
EVs are a lot harder to put out

What do you think is the blanket for? Comfort?
Nah bro you just gotta watch it burn bro trust me bro fire fighters are useless against the scourge of the battery bro
Pretending the fire isn’t there…it’s more to contain the fire rather then put it out. You aren’t stopping that chemical reaction with a blanket.

Right. Sorry I would have replied earlier but my phone rang while I was fuelling up my car and the gas station exploded.
Did you walk away without watching back as it exploded or did you lounge to the ground last second?
Highly doubt that.
