EV Fires Becoming a Much Bigger Problem

This warning comes from 24M Technologies, a company started with research from MIT. Battery experts warn electric car fires will increase unless decades-old technology is improved

According to the International Energy Agency, there are 40 million EVs on the world's roads today. However, this is forecast to reach 250 million by 2030.

'Even at a conservative rate of one fire per 10,000 EVs, thermal incidents could reach 25,000 per year worldwide by the end of the decade,' experts at 24M Technologies said on Thursday.

This is the MGUY Australia video ⚡️ EV catches fire and 🔥 BURNS DOWN 🔥 a family home

I've said this before, but what we're doing here is transferring the vehicle fueling process from the safe, controlled, and highly regulated environment of the petrol station to the uncontrolled, dangerous and completely random environment of the family home. It's quite frankly insane.
Safety is, frankly, just an irritation and annoyance in the mad, net-zero world where electrification at all costs trumps everything else, including safety and common sense it seems.

  1. People don’t think, why in the world would anyone drive a contraption that if wrecked could become possibly trapped in a blowtorch inferno. I saw a YouTube video many years ago of a cartridge battery from a cordless drill with a Phillips screw driver hammered into it. Burned like a cutting torch. That was all I needed to see.
