Are EV's Safe To Drive? Should We Be Concerned? 

I mean more or less everything hr said is true, maybe he was a bit over exaggerating but he is right. There are a lot of dangers happening with EVs like they are heavier cars tjat dont have an engine block to stop head on collisions they have to relly on sturdier pillars Lithium batteries are prone to igniting remember the samsung exploding phones incident? Not to mention that the batteries are 100times bigger than phones battery it is really hard to extuingish them.. and it is good to hear some opposition to EVs cuz they are not gonna solve any enviromental problems

@@SloGamer750 Dude... you repeat oil propaganda from 10 years ago when they tried to scare people away from ev's by telling them they can explode like the samsungs (although no ev ever exploded...) But somehow nobody was worried for 100 years to to literally sit on an explosive gas tank... The samsungs exploded due to electronic management fails... not because lit-ion batteries love to explode like gasoline... And you say EVs are not gonna solve any environment problem; so is it better to still follow the oil lobby and be happy with gas ovens driving around that only use 20-30% to drive but the rest is wasted heat ? Not even starting on oil catastrophes, dictatorships, wars over oil, oligarchs money shaping politics etc. etc. - EVs might not be the final solution, but anything is better that uses 90% of the energy to actually drive and steers the energy monopole away from oil.. And nope; hydrogen powered cars are no answer... you still use oil to get the actual hydrogen, then you still need (like gasoline) almost 2KWH of power to make 1 L of hydrogen and have to get it in a high pressured tank to a gas station where you pump it into another tank under high pressure before getting it into the vehicles tank under pressure to then burn it in a fuel cell to generate electricity that is stored in a battery that powers an electric motor... that's simply the dumbest invention ever. The future will be other forms of storing energy or creating energy in a totally different way (fusion etc.) locally where storage/batteries get obsolete.. But the worst argument today is: EVs don't change anything, so let's drive around in dino fart machines that didn't evolve in the basic technology for 100 years..

@@SloGamer750 thats exactly what social media does, it brainwashes people like you, Teslas for example are the safest cars in the world and quality EV fires happen way, way, way less than ICE cars.

Wierd that Tesla must of bribed safety regulators to get safest car in world status?

But in most cases, the fire can be managed by firefighters. It's another story with Lithium-ion batteries. They take a lot of resources to extinguish, and as was pointed out in this video, they can reignite weeks later.

@@Boxing4K Nope, the kind oil lobby loves the narrative and makes sure these falsehoods won't go away... First of all; in the very unlikely case of a fire with a lithium-ion battery, it fizzles like fireworks and takes a long time to fully emerge into a big fire. A gas tank is an entirely different case and can blow up. And if you ask (in 2024) any firefighters that are now trained on battery fire; it's an old hoax that dies hard... And i Love the fact that people sat on highly explosive gas tanks for a century and now suddenly they are worried about a battery burning although it hardly ever does ? Of course every burning Tesla made it to the front page, mostly a couple of years ago when the automobile/oil lobby tried to push this narrative but a) never mentioned that even a safe car like BMW alone had more than 800x more burning cars than Tesla. And all EV's are safer today than Tesla was 10 years ago... Silly argument.

@@moritzschneider7081 Cool story bro.. Retarded but cool...

@@moritzschneider7081 There have been cases all over the world of those batteries going into thermal runaway. EV's are not the problem. Lithium Ion batteries are the problem. And they do not fizzle. You're kidding yourself. I have seen stories recently of electric scooters or bikes, golf buggies, and EV's catching fire. It only takes one dodgy battery cell, among the 1000's in an EV, to have an issue and they can catch fire. And how does a technician identify if a car has a bad cell? They can't. How do you know the batteries in your car were manufactured correctly? You don't. I'm in Melbourne and we had the clubrooms at a golf club burn down here recently. The cost 140,000,000. The culprit, an electric golf buggy.

@@Boxing4K ah yes 200000 fires take less resources to extinguish than 8

As a ratio of vehicles on road want a guess which ones catch fire more often?

exactly, this channel feels like a cult
