Wait until everybody is driving EVs. This kind of crap will be the norm.

Elon, you’ve got to fix this Blazing Battery problem, at least for the E-Cars of Tesla. I’ve heard some say those kind of blazes cannot be put out by normal means, and often have to simply burn themselves out over days.

Too bad it’s not safe to lock your bike outside.

But you will be warm at night, with the electricity and gas shut off.

Kind of dumb to bring an exploding E-Bike battery inside.

If Faucis viruses and quackzines don’t get you, the EV fires will.

Just wait until 4,000Kw of energy is dead shorted from an eco-friendly EV.........which will also happen in your fender bender accidents. We maintain a fleet of 38 electric vehicles at work. Every month one goes up in a charging disaster. Enough toxic gas to kill 30,000 square feet of lungs.

Maybe that’s how the gangs and mob are retaliating now. They bring the e-bike battery up and just like that looks like an accident and not a murder. No gun involved either. Not to mention the big lottery win for the family after suing the battery company, e-bike company etc.

I charge my e-bike in front of my security camera in the garage equipped with a smoke detector. 48VDC four hour battery at full output of 500 watts.

Easily kaboom.

Of course the stuff would be right by the door!

So dreadful! May these poor people rest in peace and may the Dad recover, and may G-d help him.

Gasoline is pretty nasty too if not handled properly. The technology will improve and this kind of fire will become as rare as idiots burning themselves up with gasoline.

And in the meantime, there’s always sandpaper and Solarcaine!

Suspiciously convenient that China can’t be sued over their manufacturing defects.

Smart. Hopefully you give the battery a bit of room to flame out before lighting up other stuff.

You can easily put out a gasoline fire. Not so with a lithium fire.
