Not the first case either.
Save the cost of purchasing an outdoor grill.

Energy resents being confined, and will break out of captivity every chance it gets (which is why TNT wants to go BOOM!). The miracle of fossil fuels is that it was created by nature capturing energy produced by nukular fusion in our Sun and transforming it -- at zero cost to the consumer -- into a form that is remarkably stable and transportable, considering its energy density.
....Once smoke and/or temperatures exceed a certain value, the halon gets released to extinguish the fire....
The greenies have banned halon extinguishers at least for you and me. It goes back to this “ozone hole” business.
It’s a carbecue.
And ding-a-ling Biden wants all of us to have an electric car????? Damn, he (Biden) is dumber than I gave him credit for. I have some relatives that lived in Delaware for a while and they made the statement on how STUPID BIDEN WAS/IS. I have to agree with them.
Electris vehicles should be charged inside concrete bunkers 300 yards from the nearest occupied residence.
It’s interesting they aren’t saying what kind of EV caused the fire. I’m guessing it’s not a Tesla or people would be gleefully shouting that from the rooftops.
burns hot and is toxic.

I understand that water increases the fire/heat because it can short out the entire battery pack. If you have one of these cars don’t drive through standing water and if a flood is coming get the car out of the flood zone. Don’t park the car close to anyone’s property. If you see one parked, don’t park near it. There are likely other ‘Don’ts’ you should be aware of if you have one of these toys.
They said WATCH but it was only seconds with flames in the distance with no definition.
“The halon and CO2 systems I used to install dumped in maybe 30 seconds.”
Does that mean a larger halon system would work? Or not at all?
I’m sure TeslaGator will tell us this wonderful
Like the fake news
I was told on this forum that electric cars didn’t explode!
Like your post and your tag line.
You know here in OK...the Osage Tribe got an exemption..on how many Bald Eagles they could kill,,,on their windmill farms.
Once exploded, they are neither electric nor cars...............
I want to put two EVs in the garage of somebody I hate, immediately!
Don’t pee on it
Don’t lick it to see if the battery has a charge.
Might be a few others
Chinese EVs are doing brisk business in UK and Europe. Would be interesting to know what make the car was.
.
Get used to it.
They’ll force people into them (mandates).
What do they care if they burn up houses?
The models they’ll be driving will be closer to 200k and quite different
