I don't know, are lithium battery fires good for climate change?

Caught on fire? Ignited? Or “goes” on fire? Sounds like “going on sale” or something. Went of fire sale?

Listen to the self appointed expert Poodleboy Kerry, we must all drive electric as Biden closes down coal plants ensuring less electric is produced

China doesm’t have to outright attack us. We just need to buy their stuff with subpar lithium batteries and battery management controllers.

He must have overcharged the battery or left it with inadequate space to vent. . I know that if I accidentally cover my cell phone, it over heats.

“goes” on fire?

Sounds like another Britishism. Like he's in hospital or she goes to university or spot on.

Don't know if it is or not, but sounds like one.

In my “home” town in Việt Nam e-bikes are everywhere. It seems like every ten year old boy has one and some of the girls. There are no fires but they are not as big batteries as those here. Their range is limited to about 25 kilometers for the cheaper ones and perhaps 80 kilometers for the expensive ones. I bought one for the lady of he house I stay in for 550 dollars. They seem to range in price(American dollar equivalent) from 350 to 900 dollars. They are great for going to school or around town. Plug it in every night. I have been unable to find out what the electricity for the recharge costs. When I arrived there in 2016 there were a few of them. A month later there were hundreds. It is a mark of the growing prosperity . You are supposed to have a driver’s license for the ones without pedals but that seems to be ignored.

Well, whether it’s a bicycle or any other battery powered vehicle with that type of battery, I guess you pay your money & take your chances. I have a friend who owns one & I wonder what will be his reaction if it catches fire? Or maybe I will never know.
