Aren’t electric vehicles supposed to stop warming?

There is a video of an electric scooter catching fire in someone’s living room nest to a Christmas tree. Merry Christmas.

Some details:

Last Friday, a video surfaced online of French public transport operator RATP’s bus bursting into flames within seconds in Paris. The fire illustrates the dangers of EVs. Luckily the bus wasn’t crowded, and passengers were able to exit quickly.

AFP notes that all 149 electric buses manufactured by Bollore SA have been taken off the road.

“The bus driver immediately evacuated all the passengers. Nobody was hurt,” RATP said. The city’s fire department said the blaze took 30 firefighters to extinguish.

Impressive EV fire. But even better is the one with five EV buses parked in the bus yard. One goes into flames, then the other four burn up too

BUT here>>>>

On related tack, how long and how much power do these, 18 wheelers, and locomotives take to recharge. I can’t find that anywhere.

Fake: Approximately 8 seconds before the bus is engulfed in flames. Not enough time to get a busload of people off the bus......

Truth: Driver evacuated ALL passengers.

But, but, we are saving the planet. If there are a few casualties along the way, well... sacrifices are necessary for any meaningful progress....right?

A battery cannot by nature have a fuseable link for safety. Only the lead to the motor and systems controls can be fused. The lead from the charger to the battery can also be fused but not the battery itself. Collisions on the highways will likely short cells and cause enormous releases of energy like the one in this video. Water will not put the fire out. It will cause explosions. It needs to burn itself out and be contained while it billows out toxic metals into the environment. I have had three battery systems fires in the past 25 years inside factories. We had to evacuate the facilities each time. They occurred during charging. One lead-acid fire and two Lithium based battery fires. The kead-acid fire was in a control room with about 400 motor starters and drives at 4,600 volts. That battery system served as a backup power source in the event of sudden unplanned power outages. Halon was released for about ten minutes and it didn’t do much to extinguish the fire. In the end we had to cut a hole in the roof and let it burn itself out.

Below, for reference.

Now, picture the size of a 100-200 gallon tank of diesel in a big city bus, and how big the equivalent LiON battery would be.

Now, imagine trying to put out that LiON fire.
