EV causes another ship full o cars to burn

[49willys_mogon]

Anyone hear about the two Hyundai IONIQ cars where the batteries were dented and the dealer and insurance companies put the $65k liability on the customer and are liable for damages if the car starts a fire ...

Only really need 30 min or so to contain a lithium battery fire
why not do what all the gun safes do, four layers of 5/8" drywall
vent it outside yeah, but it'd keep the fire contained for a good while, hopefully until it burns out on its own

Sometimes it's not that easy. They keep re-igniting.

It took 36,000 gallons of water to extinguish Tesla fire in Alabama

Authorities said a Tesla burns at temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees C and the smoke from burning electric cars produces hydrogen fluoride and hydrogen chloride gases.

that's on the side of the road. Imagine if that's in a parking garage, garage under a house or stadium parking lot. Tha'ts the problem with an EV fire. You could have it extinguished and then have it start burning again just because the wrecker started loading it. Then you have hydrogen fluoride in the smoke from an EV fire where you really don't have it on conventional vehicle fires.

Does being enclosed in this snuff box make the heat during charging go up and increase the likelihood of spontaneous combustion? Our M18 charging station (s) is something I worry about.

Dunno, I charge my batteries on a table that's piled with about a decade's accumulated power bills

really should burn them one of these days, don't know why I keep them

Shouldn't be enough to matter

Power bill was the only way I could prove I owned my property to the county the other day

Cars and id don't line up etc

Will he do it again? Probably

Remember back in the good ol' days when fire departments would screech about the shitty 2-prong 16ga extension cords and daisy chainging power strips instead?

Quit giving me ideas about cheap reactive rifle targets
