Hidden - China's Flagship EVs are Exploding in Huge Numbers 

These EVs are making it to America because in the last year there's been an influx of Chinese citizens coming into the country illegally and sometimes they're coming from Canada and sometimes they're coming from Mexico but many of them are driving through the desert

talk about carbon footprint 👣

The "wheel falling off" part almost sounds like an antitheft measure from Mr. Bean.

Thank Elon

nearby a Porsche (ICE) burned completely and the cars next to it i doubt the owner cared that it was put out faster xD

Ok but the other hundreds / thousands of people driving or walking on the road care

If you look closer you'll actually notice that the second person who entered placed down a battery bank and that's the source of the smoke. It probably produced some kind of sound or smell which is why they both kept staring at it. Still a nightmare scenario

@@connorelliott7881 Nightmare is right.

Stupid is as stupid does

Most of those blast-proof enclosures are rated for X amount of pounds of TNT, so if a battery explosion blew it up, the amount of energy behind it must've been insane.

Bigger battery, bigger boom.

U wonder what Kenyan government sold the chines to get such a great deal. Was it an airport, was it mineral rights or was it a land for future military build up.

They are not even driving at max speed in the highway, the roads are all flat and well maintained, the batteries should not be bumped around and they should not overheat. this is peak clownery.

Nice Futurama Pic

how do you work on smartphones with those claws?

You work with pouch cells, not blade or cylindrical.. 1 cell of 4600 shorting should be unnoticeable, as each is fused. Not all packs are equal, they are vastly different.

What do ppl expect smh

How about fossil fuels instead? Those actually WORK

The thing is, there's barely anything flammable inside a car, so for it to catch fire it must be incredibly hot. And the temperature rises due to the energy from the battery, so you can't put it out, it just heats up again until it runs out of charge.

no the chinese fans are crap as well.

The radiant heat from one electric car is sufficient to break the seal on the battery in another electric car parked next to it, creating a chain reaction of igniting cars. It will be very exciting to see when a parking structure is full of enough of these for the whole thing to go off.

Indeed, and I first heard the term “‘export quality” used in south Asian to describe Chinese products. It turns out the Chinese junk we get the in US - export quality - is far better than the stuff they sell domestically. Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna go watch a movie on my Pony brand TV.

@@ClockworksOfGL export quality was a thing in all of the so called communist states. When you were bribing your doctor to give you the treatment you were technically guaranteed by law, the ones most likely to ensure you got a decent treatment were packs of real coffee smuggled from Germany, jeans, or export quality clothes. They were so much better than the domestic ones it wasn't even funny.

Few years ago a diesel car started to burn in Norwegian airport parking hall. Several gas tanks exploded destroying that section of parking hall. Several EVs burned, but not a single battery burned.

Gasoline burns more easily and you are most likely carrying 2-3 times more energy in the gasoline than in the battery. I would be far more worried about such a crash happening with gas cars. Much more likely to spread from car to car with the explosive flames from gasoline vs heat but mostly contained for batteries.

Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time. Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them). Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI). Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy. Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful. Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI). Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad). Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning! Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures. Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement. It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them. (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).. Salam (Peace) -------------

Chinas industry can produce "made in China" and actual quality goods.

Modern batteries aren't made from lithium. It's cobalt+iron. Which is more safe, I guess. But cutting corners and disregarding safety tasting will account for that inconvenience 😂

@@ik2254lifepo4 is still use in many modern big brand car

There's not a lot of lithium in a lithium battery. That's not the issue. The problem simply is that the battery has all that's needed inside: the fuel, the oxygen, and the ignition source, which means you can't put out the fire until it has internally ran out of one of those. Your goal is just to keep the battery and the surroundings cool enough in order to not let the fire spread while it's using up all its energy.

The whole EV crazy has to stop right now. Making the batteries is extremely harmful to the environment (and the people who mine the materials), uses tons of energy, recycling then is a catastrophe and we are heading towards being buried in a battery avalanche, the toxins from batteries just rotting away somewhere are bad, the energy to charge them is mostly dirty and yeah, obviously they are unsafe too. We've had EV bus fleets burn down in Germany and France so this isn't just a Chinese quality problem.

Don't import them

Can you name one EV brand that hasn't caught fire? Battery tech is changing all the time. Don't join the scaremongers.

those are hiybrid cars not EVs

So are ICE cars, you generally don't want to breath in the fumes that come from either a EV or a gasoline car.

Before the internal atomic energy battery explode the car goes up in flame so to avoid a small nucelar explosion like in the terminator movie, in the movie the terminator did remove the battery by himself but customers isnt allowed to change or remove anything from their EVs so the car have to go up in flames and self destruct.

To make sure those pesky westerners can't get their hands on them and infringe on their IP 😂

@@BAUSSCO DNA scanners built in to the cars, if they detect a tourist in the driver seat it start the BBQ ?

Yes, especially cause this will lead to improper disposal of battery materials

All electric cars have this problem and they are not as green as they say, all the materials for the bat'teries are not recycled, toxic and only last 5 to 10 years before you need to replace and discard the whole set. (Also very expensive to replace battery set).

@@robertjohnston8690 yea I think hydrogen may be the future

russia too

indians love buying cheap chinese crap, you need to take a stance!

Interesting. Thanks for succinct explanation.

They should adapt and bring more more water with EVs burning

​@@user-gq8rw6hf9v in fact water helps lithium batteries to burn, you'll need a fire extinguisher for that specifically

but the best picture where the car loses its entire rear axle with the wheels, how cool is that?

hmm...someone should tell the dopey climate activists blocking up the roads about this! Doesn't sound very environmentally friendly. Like those windmills that kill thousands and thousands of birds.

Think you should make a return visit and be surprised. Don't buy western propaganda.

Middle class and above Mainlanders will not buy local "fresh" produce for fear of being poisoned. They will only buy stuff imported from neighboring countries LOL

No suffering indeed... Except the people who are suffering for the loss to their wallets 🤣

6:58 yeah these guys really survived trapped inside an elevator with exploding lithium and smoke

Battery fires are nasty and very hard to put out, well you don't really as all you do is stop it burning down everything else around it until it has finished reacting.... I keep my solar setup away from the house for that reason and the batteries I use in that are way more stable than those in an EV.

I hope you are not using water, which makes lithium combust.

@@stonehartfloydfanI use a Tesla powerwall 😃🔫

@@chuzzbot ADD HIGH HEAT TO H20 AND THE H AND O SEPARATE. THEN YOU HAVE A POWERFUL BOMB ON YOUR HANDS.

Yes, but outside of China an EV fire is remarkably rare. Only 25 EV fires per 100,000 vehicles vs 1529 per 100,000 for gasoline cars or 3474 per 100,000 for hybrid vehicles. If you include hybrids in the average an EV is over 100 times less likely to catch fire than cars that use gasoline. I'd be willing to surmise you saw plenty more gas fires and hybrid fires than full EV's.

Great. And that's called progress...

@@rudimoesbauer184 gasoline cars catch fire, horses don't. You call that progress? 🤣🤣

German fire fighters say cover it with fireproof blanket, foam, and leave till cool. It is pointless to try to put out with water. That simply causes more electrical shorts, igniting a different battery cell.

@@ps8432 funny enough I am also a German firefighter 😁 guess this varies by Bundesland. We only ever use foam for liquid (fuel) fires. Probably also a good idea though, especially in combination with the blankets, as I am not sure how long our foam lasts, I think only a couple of hours.

Shouldn't you be using special metallic fire fire extinguishers for this?

😂😂😂😂

"Burn Your Dream".🫠

And no return… 😢

Hilarious 😂😂

😂😂😂😂😅

yes and it's really the wrong type for lithium. You need heavier than air inert gas...IIRC not an expert.

In the Netherlands they dipped it in a container full of water. Maybe we should have firefighting methods before we launch electric cars. But that would be too easy.

Isn't the way to fight them just flooding with enough water to cool it and stop the thermal runaway? There's no atmospheric oxygen to smother, it's about just removing the heat energy.

@@wilsonx3217 Maybe we should require blow-out prevention devices that actually work before licensing deep-sea oil drilling operations hmmmmm

The issue there is that some of the high voltage circuits might still be live

That's if the door opens ...gulp !

wear a race suit and helmet when you drive. Problem solved lol

@@manoz6194 1 iq take

30 seconds? It wouldnt take me more than 2-4 seconds (depending on the type of pants im wearing) to get out of my car. 30seconds is more than enough time. I could probably light the cigarette on the flames, smoke it, and then get out of the car before 30seconds lmao. Try harder

More time you get than ice

Don't worry those battery fires are slow starters, there will be plenty of time. When your gas car starts to smoke you had better be quick though.

Indeed. it's fear. Not reality. A big tank of gas fire = explosion Battery = slow 4hr fire

Then you probably shouldn’t drive a gas powered car. Gas burns and exploded instantly

@@GreenDriveIndia Under what circumstance? You're driving a Pinto still? A fire around the EGR system? A short on the tail lights wiring? You will have time to react. With an EV the fire starts under the vehicle, the only thing I can think is comparable is forcing the ICE car to run fuel rich and setting your catalytic converter on fire. Even if you puncture the gasoline tank, you still need an ignition source from somewhere.
