13 dead YTD in NYC alone? Holy crap.

Is It Time to Ban Electric Vehicles?, by Stephen Moore
The New York Fire Department recently reported that so far this year there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires in New York City, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh,www.creators.com
Of course it is, batteries are more flammable than gas and oil!!! Lol.It's science...and I know you guys are hit or miss on that.
In some lithium batteries, combustion can separate fluorine from lithium salts in the battery. If mixed with water vapors, fluorine may produce hydrofluoric acid, which is particularly hazardous because workers may not feel its effects until hours after skin exposure.
The vented battery gases, vapour and smoke are highly toxic and flammable and must not be inhaled.
A puncture, damage, short circuit, or abuse of a battery can cause 'thermal runaway'. In the event a Li-ion battery explodes, it will cause extreme heat and a flash, release a toxic vapour into the area and pose immediate and significant risks to workers and others.
The greatest hazard with lithium ion batteries is the flammable electrolyte stored within the battery cell. Lithium-ion battery fires generally occur when a battery is on charge, or when flammable electrolyte leaks out and comes in contact with an ignition source.
Small lithium batteries contain very little lithium, so they can be doused with water. To put out large lithium-ion battery fires, use a foam extinguisher containing CO2, powder graphite, ABC dry chemical, or sodium carbonate. In battery pack fires, each cell may burn on a different timeline.
As fire fighters have discovered in recent years, lithium-ion battery fires are prone to reigniting. That's because the lithium salts in the battery are self-oxidizing, which means that they can't be "starved out" like a traditional fire.
So...using water on a large Lithium-ion battery that is on fire is a bad idea.
Also, since Lithium-ion batteries are "self-oxidizing," smothering them is difficult if not impossible.
PS...they'll be emitting poisonous gas while you ponder the above.
That's amazingly bad in such a short span. It probably took combustion engines 75 years to blow up and kill that many people.13 dead YTD in NYC alone? Holy crap.

14 seconds of research....assuming I got the subject matter right. I've got your frien on ignore.

You’re hyperventilating about how dangerous batteries are nickel, do you really think you’re clever?
MDF - I also get that you have programmed on your keyboard of F5 = Sheep, F6 = Snowflakes, and etc. but when can you recognize that it is perfectly plausible that an shift to EVs can come with significant issues - whether it be mining practice, availability of materials, grid issues, compounded load issues on roads due to battery weights, and in this case...battery fires and fire departments that are not equipped to handle it.
The interesting part is that what SHOULD be happening is that an EV is 20-30% less than a gas combustion one. Why? it has far fewer parts.
I am with you on this one. it is a major risk and one to be considered.
Lol, every shift has winners and losers, when we banned smoking in most places a lot of people lost, more won. There is an unhealthy obsession with these monkeys in seeing any sign of trouble with ev’s. I am not a climate thumper I could give a rats ass, it’s a great car and great technology. Is it better for the environment too? Most likely it is. Solar and self sustaining battery power are coming, it doesn’t take a genius to see that, although it has helped me…
I know what they are doing they are swinging at ghosts of perceived enemies, it’s an unhealthy obsession and it’s sad. Progress comes with a price, nothing is free.
How old were the cars that just burned on the tanker and sunk the ship? LOLOL You are telling a fat lie.
Lol, it’s a big world slim shit happens. Stop attacking ghosts, settle down and take a deep breath we are going to be ok..

Deadly cargo ship fire still burning on vessel carrying 500 electric vehicles in North Sea
In audio of an emergency call reportedly made from the stricken vessel, someone can be heard saying the blaze "started in the battery of an electric car."

Love to know the “carbon footprint” of those cars.ANOTHER......
Cargo Ship with 500 EVs Catches Fire at Sea - The Detroit Bureau
Another cargo ship laden with vehicles, this time EVs largely from BMW and Mercedes-Benz, is on fire while off the coast of the Netherlands. It’s the second high-profile cargo ship fire in recent memory. Get details at TheDetroitBureau.com.
Lol, good lord you are comical. You’re swinging at ghosts slick, settle down and stop worrying
You don’t engage in threads that actually matter that are real, you don’t because you are clueless. Citing random studies that ev’s are dangerous is a joke, it’s garbage science. Ev’s are obviously cleaner than fossil fuel engines, are they perfectly neutral for the environment, no. Do you care about any of this? No. You’re swinging at your perceived enemies, it’s pathetic and obvious.
Ev’s are extremely safe. If you don’t like the climate thumpers maybe use that to analyze how people could feel about Bible thumpers. Just a thought.
Spoken as she calls me Maryland. Lol, I cal it like it is, you guys are not the brightest bulbs out there as I am sure you know. The rage against progress of any sort is comical, why do you guys hate electric vehicles????? Let me see, oh yeah you link it to the climate thunoers. I don’t like the climate thumpers anymore than you guys do, but it doesn’t cloud my judgement on electric vehicles , my Tesla is an amazing car, I won’t go back to an ice vehicle.
I agree with a lot of your points, I would bet that many agree as well including Bama.
Like I said, I am not a climate thumper it’s retarded,I agree with a lot of your points, I would bet that many agree as well including Bama.
Calling people sheep, monkeys, snowflakes, bible thumpers....e.g. "deplorables" is exactly what is wrong with our civil discourse nowadays. It distracts from the main points.
It's not just you, it's the elite left as noted well by David Brooks:

How the modern meritocracy made Trump inevitable.www.nytimes.com
When central governments (NY, CA, etc.) prevent combustion sales, remove gas stoves, etc. with an overarching, non-nuanced mantra, of "you are killing the planet" with over the top degrees of moral approbation and preening you get the response you see on this board. Also, when people cite the emissions from other countries such as China and India, you get a response ranging from, "you had the benefits of colonialism and the industrial revolution, let them have theirs" to a plainer, "you are racist".
This is what your "sheep" are reacting to.
I am not seeking to be argumentative, just suggesting that you may want to be a bit more reflective in listening and responding.
