You need to exercise . You gain weight :(
The BYD is the literal exact copy of the Tesla vehicles. All electric cars have these failures.
@@jordancambridge4106 Well the blade battery tech was stolen from Israel labs.
I'd love to learn why you see 'Hybrids' as being the better choice for the environment than 'EVs'. Is it related to the mining practices around the rare metals?
@@KPC-123 I personally think Hybrid and Hydrogen would be better cars. But since CCP state controlled companies are so poor in safety standards. That they would have tons of leaks and maybe half the of world's (water's) Hydrogen floats into space. It is lighter than air. Almost no ozone layer to stop it.

This year the Chinese ev market will experience explosive growth in the markets.
With the emphasis on "explosive"
“self immolated itself " 😄
And on the streets.
very explosive
So explosive, it would make Megumin proud.
Let us set this straight.
Being critical of the CCP does not equate to hating Chinese people.
well, its the CCP + the citizens that ALSO follow and do the CCP's bidding.
You hate the Chinese people if you support the mafia see see pee, John!
Let me set this straight. I hate them both
@Derek
You think the citizens got any say in the matter?
@@fluttzkrieg4392 There is going along with the CCP and going above and beyond to spread their message.

I worked in a assembly line for 18 wheelers and we once got a giant order from China of bolts instead Of Mexico or Canada where we’d normally get them I was a parts quality manger my god I rejected every single box just on spider fractures. I was amazed that anybody would try to send that off as a product
As a Chinese who used to work in two China IT companies, I can confidently tell you the concept of QC is non-existent in that fucked-up cuntry.
My former tight ass boss used to buy , at the very least dodgy or non compliant stuff from China by the container load. My job was to make them straight and square. What are these things? TRAFFIC LIGHTS. Be aware out there❤️🙏
I trust you shipped them back and they gave you your money back, right? Honest businesses always do.
Ask for massive refunds, but no returns so that you can melt them up as scrap metal
@@darrenneven8533 I bought a a Chinese lab power supply. Don't get me wrong it works exactly as advertised, which of coarse means they didn't advertise any over current protection either. That's a lretty standard feature on that type of equipment to the point where you wouldn't think to you'd need to look for it. To be clear your averafe purpose built chargers don't have much in the way of current protection either because they factor in the impedences of the device you are charging, but a general purpose power supply will just dump as much current as the circuit will let it, detonating whatever you power it up with, or maube causing a fire.
I heard a firefighter say that he has seen an EV dunked in water for 30 days and it caught fire two more times after it was submerged. Those fires are incredibly dangerous.
evs are usually left to burn out themselves to charred metal when they catch fire, it takes too much water to put lithium fires out
@@fidelcatsro6948 I would have thought there would have been some kind of special chemical invented to put out battery fires.
@@manoz6194 I don't think such chemical exist yet
lol cover it with cement water🤣
That firefighter should do basic training on fire classes and why class d fire is not extinguished with water. Or maybe he was trying to explain to you why metal fires are dealt with in different way.

I have to say I had a pretty bad crash a few years ago in a Toyota Aygo and the airbags did not deploy either, but the assessor told me the car worked exactly like intended... the frame and some parts took most of the impact it almost acted like a crush core in the landing legs of a falcon 9... and he also told me the car knew the injuries from the airbag would have been greater than the injuries if it didnt deploy (the car has sensors to determine if the airbag should deploy in a fraction of a second) and it was actually right... I had minor bruises where the seat belt held me in place and my neck hurt a little but I was fine, same for the passenger... but the car looked even worse than the car shown here...
I dont want to defend against the point you are trying to make here in general, but to be fair I dont think this airbag in the video malfunctioned... Would be interesting to see what injuries the passengers suffered...
I think this is a lot of clickbait. Cars sometimes burn. Fossil cars burns 4-5 times more often, adjusted to the number of ev's in the car fleet. We also know that when an ev is burning it usually didn't start in the battery. BYD has probably sold four million electric cars by now, the number that has gone up in flames are probably far less than any fossil cars in comparison.
You will never know because the Chinese government hides the real statistics
Glad you are spreading awareness about this, its wild how fragile blade batteries can be
Battery explosions are still no where near meth though.
Warren Buffett should be sued like those celebrities doing adverts for the Bitcoin ponzi pyramid FTX
But the EV fans will sweep battery fires under the rug.
this is Not catching fire 🔥.
It's a camouflage feature of the new BYD electric vehicles
@@dongshengdi773 yea its byd super fire cook nd get cooked
Storing these batteries in the factory must be a nightmare.
Prove it . Waiting
You are a genius! 20 years living in China and so glad to see you spilling the beans on the CCP. Love your work!
He got kicked out of China because he was considered to be a useless foreigner,ie no skill and not desirable. Dude has been butt hurt about it since, that doesn’t exactly qualify him as a genius. Just saying
Hahah. How dishonest are you? Why won't you also tell us that non-Chinese EVs are also going into flames at a similar rate? In the UK about 200 EV fires are reported annually, which is higher than China's rate. You're just a moron trying everything to slander China.
I'm an engineer.
If I made a mistake that killed people, i could lose my license, and my coworkers would agree with that consequence.
If you care about EVs, you should care about the proper transparency of and investigation of problems.
A proper investigating is good for the industry.
Cover Ups are terrifying and make the industry much weaker
I can understand using a Chinese-made pencil, but driving a Chinese-made car must be a joke with life!
You did a really great job, thanks a lot for sharing！👍😄👏
even their pencils suck. the lead slides out, it's composite wood, plastic so sharpening is rough.. doesn't show up well for testing (fill in circle)
@@emmapeel8163 You are too honest, but stand by your honesty！👍😄👌
Staedtler wooden pencils made in Germany are awesome even with the worst quality sharpeners it's still perfectly good to use.
I wouldn't even call them pencils,it's literally throwaway sticks that are only good with hanging clothes.
@@ryanhuang8498 Hanging clothes should snap right away. 🤣
It only needed one electric car to destroy a whole ship loaded with expenses cars.
Imagine what it could do to your home and family.
,that liad was shipped from Germany😂😅
The fire was not caused by an electric car. Educate yourself.
@@JerreMuesli What an incredibly stupid thing to say.
Yes, its already happening ,the ships that r transporting these high dollar EV cars catching on fire!!
@KarloKunze there were 500 EV on board the ship, transporting those cars from Germany and caught fire in the waters of the Netherlands.
"These are certainly not quirks and features that in interested in"
That burn is hotter than BYD batteries
Nope . Just selective bias no data
@@zacksmith5963 nah china hides the data
Thanks, but BYD Blade batteries do not burn. This does not apply to the new EV cars, only a few Plug-in hybrids. But good advertising for your wallet.
Watcher from Sweden here, just watched your video whilst on my phone.
Just got a BYD commercial on RUclips during the video, never ever seen one before here in Sweden.
The irony of the seeing their cars on fire in your video made me laugh.
Thank you for your videos!
Always makes me think if the problem could be solved by something as easy as a self sealing casing on the batteries which once they notice I break or tear it expands and contains the flames for longer
You can. Although these guys need to get back to the drawing board.
That costs money that BYD doesn't want to spend, they're too busy cutting corners to undercut western and japanese automakers
@@isaacvitela5131 they don't need the drawing board,since China manufacturing industry have traditon of "copying homework", it's more of cost issue since joining serval hundred individual powercell will cost more
@@leobuana7430 good point
I just talked to byd in my town which is in New Zealand.
They have never heard of any byd catching fire ever.
Mmmmm lies they tell
Possibly stupid question, but does BYD and others like Xpeng have its own production line for china/other countries?
There are plenty of BYD and Xpeng cars sold here in Norway, and it doesn't seem like they are catching fire here? (we also have a lot of electric BYD busses)
I would imagine there's SOME parts in your market for those cars that are manufactured in Mexico, but I also think a lot of why you aren't hearing about defects in EVs is because the stories are just being buried.
@@erinlikesacornishpasty4703 There are some very EV negative sites here that would gobble up chinese EV's burning at a higher rate, also insurance statistics are more or less publicly available here, so if chinese EV's actually caught on fire more often they would be much more expensive to insure (actually teslas crash way more often than the average here and are more expensive to insure)
We don't even know if the chinese EVs catch fire more than other EV's because we can never trust the numbers we get. Thats why it feels so risky to buy these cars in the first place. You cannot trust that the car is safe or that the company is as strong as they claim. The transparancy is needed, and if china doesn't give us that they will burn the western market for a long time if the rip us off. There is also too few chinese EVs in Norway and Europe to get any numbers on reliability. And scepticism is inreasing due to the war. But I guess time will tell
2:59: The BYD Haunted --- the ultimate halloween horror of bad cars. Welcome to BYD --- the EV land of gosts, goblins, shrieks, blood-curdling screams, and demonic laughter. If I could add my own musical caption to this video it would be Michael Jackson's "Thriller". And that battery explosion at the beginning of this video? The footage of that explosion would be preceding that evil laughter at the end of the song. For when you're in an EV, you're fighting for your life inside a killer thriller tonight.
Don't know what to make of this video. You say that BYD's Blade battery is unsafe. Yet Tesla are wanting it for their new cars. Toyota one of the safest car brands on the road already have a partnership with BYD to supply their EV with this battery. The new Kia EVs are also being built with this battery this year. So why if so unsafe are big brands wanting this battery for their cars?
I would love to know why, in your opinion, Hybrids are better than EV's for the environment
The fuel for electric car in a vast majority of the world is coal and gas that's why
Because he‘s a bit stupid
EVs need to get charged, it gets charged from the local power supply, local power supplies are more likely to be coal powered. You basically just passed the ball to another guy and bragged that you cut-off carbon pollution. EVs are only eco-friendly in countries where nuclear or renewable power plants are dominant. Hybrid lowers carbon pollution by using a cleaner (but weaker) secondary fuel.
@@BigOlRub so switch to renewables. Is that too hard to grasp
I am environmental engineer with 20+ years experience and I am against electric vehicles.
There is nothing about green technologies, this is just creation of another issue.
So? People want cheap cars. BYD delivers cheap cars.
It seems that these fires all start inside car or in the front of car. Not from batteries.
Id like to try a BYD.
Where can I get one, Harbor Freight?
Sure, just look for the Harbor Freight that's on fire.
The freight company I formerly worked for started switching from propane forklifts to electric, and I would have to assume they got a bulk deal on BYD, as they're running 40 of them now. From the moment I rode one for the first time I hated it. No torque, shoddy welds, and I wouldn't say it was common but on 5 separate lifts the connecting rods for one of the rear wheels that holds the wheel hub to the axle snapped and the wheel came off, hydraulic lines rattle themselves loose constantly, they don't have the same fork movement or range of motion other lifts have, and the hydraulics are MUCH weaker compared to our old Hyster Yales. The chargers are always throwing errors requiring you to unplug them several times to get them to charge, and pieces of the plastic they mold the charge plug with cracks and sometimes break off in the port, forcing you to either dig it out with a fine edged/narrow tool or get someone who can. The batteries die exceptionally fast in cold weather, and sometimes the chargers wont even work when it's too cold. None have ever caught fire thankfully but on a select few you could smell wires burning, which were promptly (and by that I mean I didn't see them for several months after reporting it) fixed. I shuddered a bit reading the title after knowing how their industrial EVs were, I wouldn't ever imagine owning a consumer model anything by them.
China aside. I live in Poland, and they want us to buy EVs - period. Even though 80% of our electricity is made out of fossil fuels/coal.
Even though Polish citizen makes around 36K PLN, the cheapest EV available on polish soil is (I believe) Dacia Spring - which costs (strats from) 106K PLN. So you'd have to somehow save 3 years worth of income, without spending a penny, and still drive a car that is polluting (80% of electricity out of coal etc.), and I'd be scared parking it at my place - not to mention drive it.
Another thing - pollution wise - my car actually caught on fire once in its lifetime. Aaaaaaand... I AM STILL DRIVING IT!
It needed new throttle body, set of injectors and respray of the bonnet/hood. All combined came up to about 5% of cars value.
EV catching on fire? 1. You might not escape it, 2. It's gone completely. 3. It pollutes a s**t ton of - I am sure - very HEALTHY gas into the atmosphere.
Don't get me wrong - I'm all in on being environment friendly - but not at such risk and cost.
Why not going hybrid or hydrogen?
AND WHEN WILL YOU BAN PRIVATE JETS for Tay Tay and other millionaires?
This is absolutely crazy. Those cars are death traps. I have a hard time understanding how anyone could want to drive one.
Because any mention of these fires is quickly censored within China, these videos are the ones getting sent outside of China.
Don't drive any car. They're all prone to failure like this.
@@Octamed No, they're not.
@@Octamedtotal BS.
@@rosstee in germany 40 cars burn down daily. guess what: they are all ICE, troglodyte.
I believe it was the Wall Street Journal recently that tore down a byd Han to find that there is no floorboard in it. You sit right on top of the battery pack as a means of saving costs during construction. Imagine what would happen if that battery caught fire and then there's nothing between you and it but a sheet of the battery's own top layer? At least in the Tesla Model 3 there's a floorboard between you and the batteries. Another thing to remember is when Tesla first debuted in China and all these people showed up at their car stands at shows complaining about major issues with the cars only to have them be found out to be paid actors?
Even without watching this video, I would never buy Chinese made car. Even if it's volvo or Buick
Yeah, save the planet with a battery powered cars. Meanwhile, wasting precious water we all need. Yeah that makes sense. Let’s keep building electric cars. We’ve got plenty of water to spare 🤬🤬🤬👎
Dealers selling pre-registered cars as demos to punch up brand sales numbers isn’t unique to Japan.
Like any new coming product or brand, I'll wait to see how the early adopters are faring. 3-5 years usually.
Why? Because the stakes are too high, i.e., safety of my loved ones, high investment cost, environment.
Living in China is like living in a surprise deathtrap
I would rather buy Internal combustion engine vehicles than an EVs
I agree with Serpentza - hybrids are the way to go for the vast majority of people if having high income, multiple types of vehicles, a house with solar power in a mostly sunny climate is not possible.
BYD: Be Your Death
I've never understood why you need to have an electric car that races to 100 in 3 seconds for the streets. The draw load on the battery for such acceleration is a factor in what causes malfunction and degradation.
about the white crashed car: no airbags will deploy if the car drives slow or is stationary. the airbags deployment speed has to be 15 to 25 mph, depends on the brand...
Have you heard of a petro or diesel car ever catching fire? Yes...that's what I mean. The possibility of a EV car catching fire is 20 times LESS than the regular petrol or diesel based cars!
"Spring is in the air"
NO
"Spring has sprung" >:(
so with BYD in UK now in my local area i had wondered why the showroom inside and the car pool outside has barely any models on display maybe this is a reason why they're spaced far apart .
These new fangled external combustion cars certainly will set the world ablaze.
Take that car transporter ship for instance
Does this just apply to the cars? What about all the BYD buses UK bus companies are currently buying?
EV-Extremely Volatile. BYD-Burn Your dreams
It's actually the petrol injection system on hybrids, not EV cars
Young people will not understand, 'Unsafe at any speed!" Written by Ralph Nader. Boy, he would have a field day with these battery-powered cars. They are indeed, 'Unsafe at any speed!'
Do not underestimate the value of virtue signaling to others that an EV is definitely saving the planet from spontaneous combustion. The possibilty of an unquenchable fire erupting from an EV is a minor inconvenience.
Recently, a BYD Han car catches fire on Highway G65 in China.
We have some entry BYD buses for transport in Nairobi and none has exploded🤷♀
China is so Orwellian. And, ironically, if BYDs were built well with reliable technology, they are really nice looking cars.
Got a BYD ad played before this video 😂
We Lov, ur Xtremely -N4mative, Research, &Discovery Podcasts!
I have a VW id.3, never heard of VW EVs catching fire ?
I had the Nissan leaf no fire and also the BMW i3 and no fire so it can't be down to the batteries themselves but poor construction and design of the cells themselves maybe and all the links, wiring and BMS that go with making a battery are obviously of shoddy design but I got to say only for your videos I was not aware at all about the issues with BYD.
I know Teslas have had fires, I believe many were down to crashes.
I do know one thing though is that I would never leave my kids locked in any EV while I go into the shop, even for 5 mins, the thoughts alone are terrifying. I'm confident in the VW tech but still not worth the risk.
Let's start importing these PDQ. Cheers!
Same for Teslas in the US!
Serpentza doesn't seem to understand the new auto-BBQ ignition system is a feature and not a bug. The car is so luxurious that one of it's many exclusive features is the ability to cook your dinner while you drive.

I won't lie. I recently purchased a BYD Atto 3. It hasn't burnt down. I charge it outside the house so if it catches fire it's less likely to burn down my house. However, after your last video I did up the agreed value on my insurance policy so I'll make a little money if the thing burns to the ground. So far so good though.
dont worry because BYD are using LFP battery that very safe and hard to catch fire compare to other form of battery like NCM. and also the event of EV car catching fire are very-very rare
....do they sell aftermarket batteries for it?
@@Fauzanarief-n7i it doesn't matter how small the chance is.. it could still catch fire so I don't want it near my house.

BYD is a major seller of electric buses to American transit systems and is also bidding on the Sepulveda Pass project In Los Angeles. The company was caught bribing California officials.
That’s why Berkshire Hathaway sold 100% of their shares quietly and slowly so they didn’t lose money.
Oh god, I guess I'll be seeing exploding busses sometime soon. This is why I hate the US bidding system when it comes to public works. They always go with the lowest bidder, but you can never take into account the quality of the products when doing so, which well, leads to situations where you get crappy shit that doesn't last long. And they ALWAYS choose the crappy shit, because you are required by law to get the cheapest bidder. And once you are locked in the contract, you can't get out it, and especially if the problems will only be found out later.
I'm a government worker in the Finance department, so I know how stupid and crappy the services are since they always make us get the cheap shit.
dang
Electric buses manufactured by BYD are exported to 50 countries and 300 cities including Germany, Denmark, Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Norway, Hungary, Sweden, India, and the United Kingdom
Only homeless use public transportation in socal 😂

He gets paid to rave about EV cars as that is what the car industry want as they have been pushed to go this route by all governments across the globe.

@@DavidWilliams-DSW558 this is Not catching fire 🔥.
It's a camouflage feature of the new BYD electric vehicles
@@Roads_of_Europe EV enthusiasts (at least those who are not sponsored by the CCP) would actually love to talk about such things, because facts and numbers don't actually undermine their beliefs, they actually prove them right. According to data, thermal engine cars are many times more likely to burst into flames than EVs (at least those not made in China by BYD), and their flames are often just as big and deadly.
The fact you don't hear about it is because it would be too "common news" because this happens every day hundreds of times, so journalists don't talk about it. The reason why you hear a lot about EVs bursting into flames, is because you just need to look at who controls the media: lobbyists. And who are the lobbyists? Oil companies, as well as traditional thermal car companies like GM. They have every reason in the book to spread bad news on EVs. So of course they would make sensational news out of 1 or 2 Tesla's catching fire, but they will never mention the 100 other thermal cars that combusted before those 2 Tesla's did.
If you are looking for sources, because I can't seem to share links on youtube for some reason, I can only tell you to look for them on Google online with "are EVs more liekly to burn?". On a website called the Car Expert UK, they come up with numbers from an american car insurance that counted 25 combustions of EVs for 100,000 units sold, compared to over 1,500 for 100,000 units sold for thermal engine cars. And even 3500 for hybrids (yeah those are not as good as Serpentza think they are).

Shouldn't the Chinese FD be using Class D (Dry Powder) Fire Extinguishers for lithium battery fires? What is that they are using?
Basically useless, battery fires are self contained (they contain both the fuel and oxidizer) and the cells are shielded against any extinguisher compounds. Class D is useful for metal fires that can strip the oxygen out of water. With battery fires you can only hope to stop the fire spreading to non battery stuff around them and keep the battery cells that haven't been compromised cool, water is perfectly fine for that.
@@antonjanssen3549 Spot on, with any fire with an oxidizer present, your basically preventing a spread and containing it until it runs out of puff.

Maybe there is a reason why they are so cheap in China and so expensive in Europe? They have to make sure that every single one works and does not burn.
they even put it on the news yesterday how cheap these cars are in china. to me it was an instant red flag despite my dad defenitely being impressed by their price. all i could think is : how safe are they really?
@@wolfgangpreier9160 not sure about the EV's, but like in the Netherlands, all they care is if a vehicle can safely stop and do not fall apart, the whole maintenance is setup to be that way.
I mean I had a broken airbag in my old car for ages and nobody cared.
Not even the RDW (the instance that arranges all these car stuff in the Netherlands).
Besides, their car will most likely perform barely in those margins and if the car burns up after a year (or 2) or something, it will take time before everyone is up to speed to see how much garbage the Chinese cars are. I really doubt there is a difference between the cars here and the cars in China. After looking into the pricing for a new EV Car from BYD and some other european vendors, and BYD is actually cheaper than most, and a bit more expensive than Dacia.. By doing so, they maybe able to get foot on EU with cars and cash in the money.
Haven't seen other vendors from china at the moment luckily.
@@smarseille7422 "I mean I had a broken airbag in my old car for ages and nobody cared." One year max. in Germany or Austria. Then you car is impounded.
If one car burns they must make a recall - as Hyundai, Ford and Toyota had to do and replace the batteries. If they do not react they are forced by the KBA in Germany.
If the chinese think they can get through with bad quality they will have a very abrupt and very bad awakening in a very short time.
Tesla needed a few years to shed its bad reputation of batteries burning.
VW still has a bad reputation of not beeing able to do Software.
When BYD thinks they can get away with rusted cars, breaking safety systems or breaking bolts in the supsension, they should ask Toyota how that feels.
Since when does a Dacia cost 72.000 Euros? Thats the price of the BYD Tang or Han. The Atto III with the small battery costs 43K. The large battery 46K. Just 400,-- less than a Model Y. And 7000,-- more than a Peugeot similar sized Peugeot E-208.
That is NOT cheap. And that is certainly NOT chepar than their European competitors.
Nio tries with high priced and low value vehicles.
XPeng the same. High price but visibly low quality. Bad Software etc.
MG sells actually quite good in the low priced segment. Quality and workmanship are worth the price.
Polestar and Volvo (Geely) are quite reasonably priced for upper class luxury vehicles.
BYD would have to deliver good quality for a reasonable price. Atto III 35K, Tang: 50K, Han: 40-45K, Dolphin 25K, Seal 50K. 8 years and 200.000km warranty on everything.
Even better: Toyota gives you 1 Million Kilometers warranty.
Thats why the BZ4X - in my opinion the worst EV from 2022 - sells so good in norway.
They have much "Salz and Schmutz" (quote from Teslabjörn) and cars usually only last 3-5 years in those conditions.
Toyota will have much repairs to do. But they let the customers pay for the privilege. I don't mind. Norwegians are rich, they shall pay.
Groeten uit Rotterdam!
It's a feature. In the settings there is Protest mode where the vehicle self-immolates.
Bad construction? Guaranteed!
I love how Winston went from living in and loving China, to living in the US and dedicating part of his life to dismantle the CCP web of lies. Really shows you how insidious it is. Keep up the fight sir!
He still loves china alot. Just hates the CCP because that's the reason he had to escape.
I think he does it because he still loves China and it gives him stomach ache to see how the people are mistreated.
Latest news Toyota and Tesla have used BYD “exploding” batteries. Probably because Tesla car fire has caused many more deaths than BYD 😅.
Living in the US, Ah-ha, now I know why he is not subject to 'control'
@@infoworld7706 lol you have just proven how garbage your CCP products are.🤣🤣
Update:
There are short video clips of the car on fire, taken by people who were trying to help put it out, before the damn tank exploded and everyone ran for it. Not only has it been identified as a Land Rover Range Rover Sport, the number plate could be read, and someone looked up its MOT details online. It's a 2014 (I think) model and definitely a diesel. You are a liar.
They seem to give off a lot of emissions when burning. They can't be classed as green then.
Even the ones that don't combust spontaneously increase pollution due to the rare metal mined for the batteries and the scrap and toxic metal released when the batteries eventually fail.
Brilliant deduction 😂
@@bkatbamna That's wrong on every level. The worst lithium mine is cleaner than the cleanest oil spill. The oil and gas industry uses more cobalt to refine oil into gas, than all the EVS in the world combined. EVs are cleaner by far, over the lifetime of the car, even when the power source is a coal power plant. If the EV burns up within the first year, then yes its worse for the environment. But it only takes a couple of years for the EV to become better overall. After 2 years its all a bonus. Especially if your house has solar.
Tesla’s batteries, called “NCM”, include more rare metals: nickle, colbalt, magnesium, aluminum… on top of the lithium. These LFP batteries only include lithium. They are far less destructive as a result.
@@DeeDeeCHAUNCEY And most Tesla's are now being made with LFP batteries. All Chinese Tesla's are LFP.

"China's BYD wins five-star European safety rating for electric SUV"
Every day, without fail, I give thanks to the universe that I was not born in China.
Jag issued a recall recently for their I-Pace due to a few of them bursting into flames during driving. According to Musk, around 0.01% of Tesla's catch fire which is around a few hundred-thousand. It's quite clear that BYD is not alone in this issue and painting it in that way is dishonest.
Yep, what a shit hole
I am in Australia and I seeing a lot of them, I will never park my ice car next to one. Cheers for the info brother.
…adding fuel to the fire.
Won't park next to a BYD, or EVs in general? Your ICE car is 136 times more likely to catch on fire than a Tesla, but as for BYD I don't have the stats on fire probability, I think China hides those numbers.
But you cannot prevent them from parking near your car!
It's like being in an action movie where cars turn into bombs at the slightest provocation.
Fitting for a Michael Bay film.
Or a Simpsons episode.
If you can't compete with byd, you start to slander this enterprise. Poor boy, I will support byd.😂

I live in Australia. I went shopping last week and the only parking spot was between two BYD EVs. I thought carefully about parking my car there and then thought "HELL NO"! I would rather walk a few hundred meters.
@@ozeight4278 WTF
No BYDs in the USA. They don't meet crash safety standards. Plus, you know, the fires.
Wtf we have them here?
@@wintersbattleofbands1144 GM Bolt makes up for it.
LFP blade batteries are pretty safe which is used in Oz. This video doesnt really show if they were blade batteries, and if that was a han it could be the hybrid non blade battery.
i like your setup, keep the videos coming man you are like MUST WATCH TV
BYD = Buy your death
Thank you so much for bringing out videos like these. Here in Europe I see way too many positive news articles these weeks on how we'll all soon drive Xpeng and BYD and how the Chinese car brands will be the one we'll see most on the roads coming years blabla. I work in the automotive industry and I speak to a lot of people in front and behind the curtains of different EV brands from all over the world, and I warn people of these Chinese brands and how those articles are likely paid for by the wrong kind of source to make China money at the cost of regular people's safety and lives. I urge them to find your videos and do a bit more deep diving, nót to go out and buy a Chinese EV if they can.
For sure, they pay, wine and dine influencers and journalists
@@serpentza
Why don't you dare to publish data on how many fires there are in BYD? Just looking for some separate videos and pictures? Did you know that the spontaneous combustion of electric vehicles is much smaller than that of fuel vehicles? And BYD's cars have a lower chance of burning than other electric vehicles? South African losers illegally teach English and make money by anti-China? Executives from Volkswagen, Porsche, Ferrari and Benley will visit BYD at Auto Shanghai 2023 because are these people stupider than you, an anti-China liar?
There are about 8.91 million EVs in China. so the EV car fire rate is 0.005%.and the ICE car fire rate in China is about 0.01% - 0.02%
When you compare the numbers, you can see that EV is indeed much more reliable than traditional ICE cars
To be honest, the whole EV movement is a scam. Fossil fuel cars are the way to go
@@southkoreausasmaster8805 This is such a flawed study. On average most ICE vehicles on the road are older than the average EV cars, a lot of ICE cars are also used for extremely long hours, like for Taxi jobs, delivery, etc. So far very few EV cars around the world have a lifespan of over 10 years while there are plenty of ICE cars over that limit. So it's only natural if ICE cars have more fire incidents.
Also, Fire fighters hate battery EVs because although EVs have lower fire risks, they can still catch fire and when they do, it’s incredibly difficult to put them out. In fact, there is no way to put out an EV fire. You can do your best to supress the fire, but the EV will burn again hours later.
There’s only one way to put out an EV fire - which is to temporarily snuff it out, and then find a way to quickly move the vehicle to a safe flat ground to dunk it into a pool of water or leave it to burn itself out in an open field (and emitting more toxic fumes). It is really2 dangerous.
To me EV is such a myth. It's not as environmentally friendly as we thought & it is never going to be as cost efficient as an ICE. Don't get yourself brainwashed by the environmentalist.
Man, I knew electric cars were hot, but I didn't realize they were THIS hot.

Serpentza, a white South African loser, was deported for not having an English teaching qualification and then began anti-Chinese propaganda
@@irdmoose Just like he smeared Huawei, smeared BYD
I've been cautiously interested in BYD possibly coming to the western consumer car market. I was very well aware that any issues in China were being censored to increase their chances of selling well over here, so we wouldn't really know their quality until they get here. Lets just say that if I see one in the parking lot I'm going to give it a lot of space lol
I have seen BYD buses. One bus just wanted to go by itself and crashed into a wall next to a train station.
Let it be until it happen then they will regret when the US and EU automobile safety authority impound them billon of dollar for those failure
@@Ukit50 sooo...did that happen?
@@kevin5224
Just newly enter US and EU market
wait till it happen ok
Easy fix. All BYD cars will come with free ice cream.
The BYD's electric cars are on fire on the market in China! Their cars exploded in popularity across the whole nation!
I've been in the automotive industry since 2011.
It is not easy to build a machine that doesn't kill its occupants. We've had norms and standards for ages. Those are neither easy to learn, not cheap to obtain.
I am pretty sure Chinese producers cut on those safety features.
Safety isn't exactly the top priority in a culture that treats its people as expendable.
Researchers from insurance deal site Auto Insurance EZ compiled sales and accident data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the National Transportation Safety Board. The site found that hybrid vehicles had the most fires per 100,000 sales at 3474.5. There were 1529.9 fires per 100k for gas vehicles and just 25.1 fires per 100k sales for electric vehicles.
Good research, I also thought that gasoline engine logically also have the risk of combustion, logically if mobile Phone made from gasoline engine is it saver from combustion problem? BYD is one of the top sales in china may be millions of cars sold, need to study the comparison percentage not based on cherry picking study. While improving the savety and to know reducing the risk
Whoops a rather inconvenient statistic given the purpose of this video is to turn people off electric vehicles and BYD in particular. Something like 700 gas car fires per day in the US causing many deaths apparently doesn't warrant concern either.
What a coincidence! I am literally writing a project about the EV market, focusing on both BYD and Tesla. I was in charge of talking about BYD's blade battery, and I praised it thinking it was an innovation.
now your video shows up, and I am not entirely sure if I want to delete my part or add on top of it. Maybe I will just stick to it, my professor wouldn't notice... 😅😅
Maybe add some counter points
You can make ammendments and counter arguments as otger have suggested

Ask ChatGPT what to do.
Something to think about, In the US, not a single Chinese car company has been able to get there cars past the US safety crash testing. I doubt BYD will every get their cars into the US market, over regular safety concerns, not even taking into consideration the fire problems.
Hope you are happy earning money through denounce China.
Let us set this straight.
Being critical of Africa does not equate to hating African people.
BYDs are now available in Malaysia, but with your videos, I will have second thoughts.
Like Geely's and Cherry's breakdown and parts issue in Malaysia isn't enough to deter...
yeah be careful out there. i saw a news report of these cars yesterday (and i do think i saw a few on the streets here as well. i live in the netherlands) but with the price of those cars alarms immideately went off in my head. cuz no car that cheap can actually be safe
hope your ready to see some firework and fire show :)
Don’t worry too much. This channel has it against China and will twist as much info as possible to make things worse.
Some of the fires shown here look like faults in the 12v circuits.
Cars of all manufacturers (gas & diesel mostly) have recalls for fire hazards by the hundreds of thousands, every year.
If you are afraid: don’t install third party electronic systems, stay alert for any recalls, even if they are not in your country.
