“EV?”
I wasn’t going to buy one, anyway....
The next big business will be fire-protection systems installed in garages that house EVs. Once smoke and/or temperatures exceed a certain value, the halon gets released to extinguish the fire.
Wow - EVs are awesome, I want to put two of these in my garage immediately!
“EV” stands for evolved, as in: “This fire is fully evolved. “
“You will drive an EV...and you will like it”
A couple of years ago, we weren’t allowed to take lithium batteries on a commercial flight, now they want us to ride around town sitting on one....
Next door neighbors should ask EV owners for a copy of their car and home insurance policies, to see what they cover in case of damage from an “EV fireball” parked in the adjacent driveway.
This is still greener than all the carbon emissions from gas vehicles < /S >
I passed on the last handicapped parking space at Wal-Mart because there was a Tesla in the next space over.
Damn you environmentalists sucked us into buying CRAP
burns hot and is toxic.
It will be interesting to see if insurance companies start penalizing EV owners with higher rates or if they are so woke they’ll look the other way. Kind of like environmental whackos and windmills killing birds.
>>“You will drive an EV...and you will like it”
Once everyone is forced into 15-minute ghettos there will be no need for private EVs anyway.
Should be under warranty so the maker will replace it.
“Safe and Effective”......LMAO!!
A battery fire just has to burn itself out and that happens when the energy it contains is gone. The new thinking on EV fires is to pick them up and dump them into a frac tank full of water and leave it there for days.
The halon and CO2 systems I used to install dumped in maybe 30 seconds.
Yesterday morning WMUR(ABC Manchester, NH) reported a fire in the garage at a lake house up in central NH. I immediately thought EV fire. They showed the garage end of this very expensive home. All charred up. The remainder of the house looked okay. However, they never listed the cause of the fire. WMUR tends to be a liberal station. I wondered whether they would omit that part of the story. Although, IF it had been an EV fire, I doubt the local fire department could have put it out.
And I am sure the CA Assembly will soon require all insurers to add mandatory no-cost EV fire protection to their homeowners policies ...
