  1. OK - whilst I like EV's Im NOT going to minimise the issue BUT... The fossil fuel industry are spending billions of $$$ to amplify every EV fire and to blame everything on EV fires. In the USA per vehicle, petrol cars set n fire 18 times MORE frequently [per capita as it were] than EV's. Frementle Highway - the fire brigade, the owners and the insurance company say it was NOT started by an EV, for stability reasons, they load EV's on the bottom decks cos they are heavier and the fire started 2 decks above the EV's QUOTE "The fire was initially suspected to have been triggered by a burning EV, but officially, the cause is still unknown. However, new information points to the fire being unrelated to electric vehicles and triggered by either an ICE vehicle or something else entirely" The reporting on this Luton fire from the BBC seems to indicate the structural collapse led to the fire, not the other way around. We definitely need to improve EV batteries re fire, cos petrol cars setting EV alight is a MASSIVE problem, EV's setting on fire is a massive problem when it occasionally happens. But the Swedes are rolling out these heavy tarps you pull over the fire and it smothers it, we need to adapt our systems to the EV's But the fossil fuel companies want to massively highlight every single issue and blame it on an EV.

  2.  @ljt3084  "After a road traffic collision an EV is far more likely to go into self ignition than an ICE Vehicle. " sorry the facts just don't reflect this - In the USA per vehicle, petrol cars set n fire 18 times MORE frequently than EV'

  3. In America, petrol engine cars are 18 times more likely to set on fire than electric cars. The initial reports for the Luton fire are that it actually started in a diesel car but not in the engine. It was an accident in the diesel car that set the car on fire, and it then spread.

  4.  @MIEJ4  because the fossil fuel industry and spending billions to convince people of this. The initial reports for the Luton fire are that it actually started in a diesel car but not in the engine. It was an accident in the diesel car that set the car on fire, and it then spread.

  5.  @MaximilianvonPinneberg  if it's anecdotal, that's good enough for the Internet - case proven

  6.  @b00ts4ndc4ts  I know you're desperate for it to be a battery-electric vehicle that exploded and blew the roof off. But which bit of "The initial reports for the Luton fire.." Did you not understand?

  7.  @b00ts4ndc4ts  ONCE AGAIN I ASK YOU which bit of "The initial reports for the Luton fire.." Did you not understand?

  9.  @sobeit1927  I have edited my comment as re reading it I had not made it clear - [per capita as it were]. Not in absolute terms, but per vehicle it is 18X more likely to be a petrol car than an EV,. Now we have to caveat this, America doesn't have an MOT or a technical test, their cars are absolute junk. So I'm sure the figure will be much closer to one-to-one in the EU. "We do seem to be experiencing a lot of EV fires". I would argue EV fires are just making the news because fossil fuel companies pay for the news in advertisements and therefore call the tune. But EV fires are way more devastating when they happen, and we need to develop ways of dealing with them and ways of preventing them I don't deny that at all.. "regardless of what started the fire , EV’s surely burned out of control". The Swedish Fire Brigade have developed a blanket that you just two men pull over the car leave it for 24 hours, and it smothers the Fire - the idea they create their own. Oxygen is a little bit of a misnomer QUOTE: The lithium mixed oxides lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) and lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA), which are frequently used as cathode material, can release oxygen because of internal structural rearrangements.\ But we are moving away from cobalt oxide batteries because it's expensive and unethically mined *I suspect you too are buying into propaganda only from pro EV sources*. NO I am an author, I only work from primary sources, government statistics, et cetera et cetera. I'm the sad guy that actually checked the citations, goes to the original document and read the original document.
