EV Chargers REMOVED By State Farm due To FIRE RISK!

#electricvehicle #electriccar #statefarm State Farm has made an unprecedented decision to remove EV chargers from it's parking garages at its corporate offices nationwide due to fire risks.

    I've known of two fire stations in my area to catch on fire. One was in Collinsville, OK. A small town, about 15 minutes north of Tulsa. In spite of being a small town, Collinsville had a full time professional fire department for a long time. There were firefighters sleeping in their bunks upstairs that night. The firefighters all got out safely, and if I remember correctly, got the two trucks out of the bays. To get the fire under control they required help from other communities nearby, including Owasso, a larger suburb of Tulsa, Collinsville's neighbor to the south. Then Tulsa sent them a ladder truck. The building was pretty much a total loss. They also have the Collinsville rural fire department very close by, staffed by volunteers, that loaned the full timers space while their station was rebuilt. The other fire station to catch on fire was Tulsa's fire station 13. Which is located on the west side of the City. It's staffed by one company, and they were out on a training exercise. Another company from stations 25 happened to be driving by in their brand new truck they just acquired and were out getting training on the new truck. Hey, they got to put it to good use. I think that fire was traced to a small appliance, possibly a coffee maker. Afterall, what full time fire station would be complete without a coffee maker? The damage to this station was mostly due to smoke. The other company happened to drive by before things could really get rolling. The Collinsville station, I don't remember the cause, it was during the winter, so possibly the heating system. Both of these were before Li-Ion batteries were invented or so predominate.

      no, it can't eliminate the issue because the issue is the energy density. Any battery that can be used in cars should have a high energy density. The actual batteries are not enough energy dense so the trend is in the opposite direction. Any battery which has enough energy density for a car can start a fire. The LFP's are harder to ignite due to the lower energy density not due to "chemistry".

      @@jimrageLT1 Yes, it is insanity how he spends Canadian tax $$ with such disregarded abandon! Copied from the Conservative web site, who are the opposition to the trudeauliberals. Ottawa, ON - Rick Perkins, Conservative Shadow Minister for Innovation, Science and Industry, issued the following statement regarding the Parliamentary Budget Officer’s new report on electric vehicle battery plants and allegations of using temporary foreign workers instead of Canadians to work at the plants: “Today we learned that the multibillion-dollar subsidy to Stellantis may be funding as many as 1600 jobs that won’t be going to Canadians, but to foreign workers instead, despite the Prime Minister’s promises of jobs for Canadians. This is not acceptable. “Justin Trudeau has also been hiding the details of the massive corporate subsidies he gave to electric vehicle battery plants for months, but the Parliamentary Budget Officer let us know today that the costs are much higher than the Prime Minister has been letting on. “According to the PBO, Canadians’ subsidy to the three battery manufacturers may be as large as $43.6 billion, almost $6 billion dollars more than the government told Canadians. These massive overruns are happening before these large projects have even gotten off the ground. “The Prime Minister must do two things. First, he must come clean and release the contracts he signed with Stellantis, Volkswagen, and Northvolt so that taxpayers can know how much money they are on the hook for and what provisions have been secured to actually ensure that there are good, long-term jobs for Canadians. Second, he must guarantee that Canadian tax dollars won’t fund jobs unless they are for Canadian workers. “Common Sense Conservatives will ensure Canadians’ tax dollars are used wisely, and that new jobs in Canada are exclusively for Canadians.”

    It's pretty embarrassing when a fire station is destroyed by fire. The response time should be 0 since fire stations are always manned. I have worked on construction of a lot of fire stations and I'm not aware that any of them have fire suppression systems although the probably do have alarms. A fire station in a city near where I live just caught fire and burned. The cause is under investigation but they are focusing on the kitchen area. This is a good reminder to be cautious with recharging. A lot of trades people leave their tools on a charger in the top of a toolbox when they aren't working, an advertised feature of new toolboxes is the outlets and charging capability inside the cabinets. I don't do that with my tools but like a lot of people I have a laptop computer that is frequently plugged into its charger when I'm not around. My tools however don't get plugged in for very long and I'm always around where they are when charging.

      Lithium itself isn't particularly toxic: the human body needs ~600ug/L to work properly. Carbon monoxide will knock you out and asphyxiation will finish the job long before you breathe enough lithium to worry about lithium poisoning. Clean-up wise, it is all of the other stuff needed to make it work, especially cobalt (extremely toxic) and nickel in NMC/NCA batteries that are a major concern. LFP uses neither, which greatly reduces the toxic hazard on top of LFP being much less likely to fail spectacularly in the first place. The first step to making lithium batteries safer and cleaner would be to ban the manufacture of new devices designed for NMC/NCA batteries.

I plan on paying it off quickly and i intend to keep it for as long as possible. The fact that GM discontinued it makes this nameplate even more iconic.

      There is no other vehicle that'll give you what this one can for under 40K. I have the same plan. Payoff fast and keep it forever

    Another week, another blight on the eye of the amazing lithium ion battery. If we cannot recycle these things safely, what's the point?

      One fire at a single plant, and that means we "can't recycle these things safely". Literally countless oil refinery and oil platform fires and oil tankers running aground, sinking and polluting the entire planet, but we can obviously refine and burn oil safely, right...? Just an entire new category of stupid...

    How many fires have started from small scooters or the like, many while the scooter is being stored in an apartment building, too many. Small battery or large, when they start there's no putting them out, proven fact. Case in point, this fire station, has a long row of gas vehicles with maybe just one or two small or large batteries, we now have seen the outcome. There's more to say I will leave it for now.

      Scooters are probably among the most dangerous offenders for exactly the reason you said. They usually get stored indoors.

    I leased a 23 Sharkskin LT1 almost 2 years ago but the 2 year lease is coming to an end soon. Only things I did to it was switching out the run flats for Continentals and disabling 4 cylinder mode. It's been perfect except for some hesitation when it's been sitting for some reason. It's going to be heartbreaking to turn in this car in a few months, I'm going monday to look at a used Malibu with only 7k miles. No way I can afford the camaro long term if I bought it but was the most awesome car I've ever had while I had it.

    • @jimrageLT1
      @jimrageLT1 10 дней назад

      If I can ask, is the affordability problem the price you'd still have to have to pay even after leasing for 2 years?

      @@jimrageLT1 Yes the buyout price would be 35k. Been paying 480/month for the 2 year lease so payments would be more than I'm willing to pay if I bought it, even with a big down payment. I never intended to keep it, just wanted to get in on it while you could still get these but still painful letting go of such an amazing car. Been my daily driver 50 miles each way to Detroit suburbs but winters are rough here in Michigan, kind of need more practical long term solution. If I were rich would keep it as a fun car but just too much money.

    Great video Jim, I have one it’s the 6.2 liter Riverside Blue Metallic 2024 Chevy Camaro LT1 and I love it!! Traded in my 2017 Dodge Charger that I was have lighting issues and got a hell of a deal. Big thing is that for Camaro IT HAS NOT SEEN A SPEAK OF SNOW!! I bought it 9/20/2023 about three months before they discontinued them.

      Very good point. Guess the risk is too high where their own money is concerned.
