These EVs are making it to America because in the last year there's been an influx of Chinese citizens coming into the country illegally and sometimes they're coming from Canada and sometimes they're coming from Mexico but many of them are driving through the desert

Now that's a spot on
The company I used to work at provided testing facilities for the automotive industry, batteries included. The battery tests were conducted in armored, reinforced cargo containers for safety.
And around a year ago, a battery actually blew up inside one of them. The explosion was violent enough to rip the reinforced door out of the frame and yeet it several meters away. There even were some blow-out panels installed, but the pressure of the explosion was just too much for them to handle.
Most of those blast-proof enclosures are rated for X amount of pounds of TNT, so if a battery explosion blew it up, the amount of energy behind it must've been insane.
Bigger battery, bigger boom.
Should go over well with truckers. They have huge battery cells.
I know I'm pretty late but GODDAMN that motorcycle in the elevator had me absolutely mortified for those two... I can't imagine the horror of knowing that thing IS going to explode at ANY moment, you can see the panic setting in on those two poor people...
If you look closer you'll actually notice that the second person who entered placed down a battery bank and that's the source of the smoke. It probably produced some kind of sound or smell which is why they both kept staring at it. Still a nightmare scenario
@@connorelliott7881 Nightmare is right.
Stupid is as stupid does
From internal combustion engine to spontaneous combustion batteries, what a marvel of technological progress!
ICE fires can be extinguished relatively easily. EV fires can burn for days.
It's their new weapon. 😱
Thank Elon

Ok but the other hundreds / thousands of people driving or walking on the road care
Nailed it. As you’ve said before, once you’ve lived in China for a while, you realize they just chabuduo the **** out of everything. My “luxury” apartment in Beijing looked amazing… for the first few months. It’s only after you’ve lived there for a while that you realize the wood paneling is just stickers, the kitchen sink is only held on with caulk, and the granite flooring in your bedroom starts to crack and break apart because they never leveled the subfloor and used spackel instead of grout. If they’ll cut corners when making baby formula to earn a few extra bucks, then why would it be any different for an EV?
Face culture leads to danger and disappointment, I guess
We get stunning luxury Chinese car brands here in South Africa. At 75% of established brand's prices. After a few short years these Chinese brands disappear, and a few new brands appear. So no parts, no service.
They cut corners on the stuff they build for their own people. Imagine the corners they would cut on a car they are selling in the US?
stop lying you don't live in China ... and your describing furniture used in America low housing.
@@Joker-Leto How much is the CCP paying you to comment?
So China invented a flashy EV version of the Ford Pinto that self ignites, no collision in the rear necessary, as a key feature. Hopefully it has other great features like an "all static" AM radio, automatic ejector seats that launch upon collision, self-shredding transmission, motor oil fountain, and auto flattening tires.
IT'S A FEATURE!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
All-static LOL! 😂 And it shocks you too!!!

The wild thing is, none of these were accidents, they were all just charging or driving normally. These are massive quality control issues. I work on smart phones and smart devices and know firsthand that you can't mess with Lithium batteries. The thermal runaway will just continue until the energy is used.
They are not even driving at max speed in the highway, the roads are all flat and well maintained, the batteries should not be bumped around and they should not overheat. this is peak clownery.
Nice Futurama Pic

For those that love their cars and want to take them into the afterlife.
Safety tip: stay upwind of a lithium battery fire. The smoke is seriously toxic. In an enclosed space, don't try to fight the fire - you'll fail - just get outside.
Last time I was near a Tesla Model 3 fire, I accidentally caught a breath of the smoke and had trouble breathing for a week afterwards. Even if you're downwind, the smell permeates through the air and stinks like a power station fire.
I have a fireman friend and he told me these electric cars are ridiculously hard to put out, the degrees at which they burn is incredible compared to regular fires..He said water barely works..They need to find something that can put these fires out quickly
How about fossil fuels instead? Those actually WORK
The thing is, there's barely anything flammable inside a car, so for it to catch fire it must be incredibly hot. And the temperature rises due to the energy from the battery, so you can't put it out, it just heats up again until it runs out of charge.
As a Chinese, My friendly advise: DO NOT BUY CHINESE CARS for the sake of your life.
I try to never interact with anything china related

I stayed in a Chinese built apartment block in Kenya. It looked like a unmaintained 20 year old building in the UK. Electrics tripping, paint peeling, damp, leaks, broken glass and everything was super low quality. It was in a shocking state and was 2 years old!
To think some people actually believe China won't only do the cheapest bottom of the barrel construction projects possible for their African "allies".
Hmm tofu dreg building
All part of the plan as they can re-build it on year 5 and boost the GDP numbers. Horrible strategy for the environment.
Ramen quality
U wonder what Kenyan government sold the chines to get such a great deal. Was it an airport, was it mineral rights or was it a land for future military build up.
The older Tesla from 2012-2013 also catch on fire but when Tesla heard about that, they put a massive titanium cover to protect the battery and a really big fan to help the battery cool down when overheat! Chinese brand don't have these!!!!
no the chinese fans are crap as well.
Good to see Chinese manufacturing is still at high quality levels.

This is why Japanese automakers are "behind" in the EV game. They have to make sure that the technology they're putting in their cars actually WORKS, instead of, you know, catching fire.
Toyota is developing Hydrogen electric technology because they see it as more viable than batteries. Once Toyota brings an EV to the US and its been out a few years, I might consider getting one.
@@wes773105333 the BZ4X is a solid first attempt by Toyota imo. People complain about the range and all but, who actually drives more than 200 miles on a daily basis?
Japan ev's brought down a cargo ship.
@@hycoperosity5843 most ev's exposed to the same conditions would catch fire. There is a reason they're starting to ban them from ships.
@@wes773105333 Their first EV had to be recalled because the wheels fall off. Toyota head of engineering recently said they tore down a Model Y and is saying Tesla engineering and manufacturing is lightyears above Toyota... A "symphony of engineering and manufacturing" is a quote. So far Ford, VW and Toyota have said that they are far behind Tesla in technology and manufacturing...
The biggest issue with EVs catching fire, is that it's mainly a metal fire, from the batterypack, rather than a "conventional" fire from all the other parts inside. Lithium fires in particular CANNOT be put out by water, and in fact, adding water speeds up the thermal runaway, as the lithium reacts with water and explodes, which stimulates the rest of the battery to burn harder, which exposes it to more water, etc.
EV batteries are so large that you'd need a full shipping container to put out their metal fire, cause you need like 6 kilos of anhydrous salt in a specialized extinguisher to put out an 800g metal fire, let alone a several hundred kilos worth.
I was considering buying an electric bike, but then I started to hear about those things just bursting into flames, and since I'd be keeping it in my garage, that means if it caught fire, it would burn down our house, maybe at night with me and the missus asleep. I gave up the idea and just got a normal 21 speed bike for our mountain roads. The fact that manufacturers AND the media are keeping this quiet is not only disgusting, it's potential murder.
I hear ya. My bike is 3 x 8....and I only ever use 8 gears on flat ground.
Well loads of those reports are extremely overblown. If one e-bike catches on fire it will make national news, while a gasoline car fire will barely even make the local news. In reality they're extremely safe, and all of the electric bikes that *have* caught fire have always been home-built ones or super cheap Chinese ones bought from sites like Wish.
The billion dollar battery recall by Hyundai and GM was caused by the Chinese plant where LG Chem was building the batteries.
Batteries built by LG outside China were ok, but all the batteries built in China had to be replaced because of a manufacturing defect
GM has such a great reputation.. China is killing these good companies... This is absolutely absurd !!!.... Chi sin. It takes around a good 5 years to train a low level manager.... The pay is similar regardless of levels.. but the importance is actually the qualities. And they even rate them on performances by being truthful...

What gets me on a lot of these, are the jets of flame shooting out. It's not just the vehicle itself, but a threat to other vehicles and even people around them.
The radiant heat from one electric car is sufficient to break the seal on the battery in another electric car parked next to it, creating a chain reaction of igniting cars. It will be very exciting to see when a parking structure is full of enough of these for the whole thing to go off.
@@Miyuki2319 So like GTA? lol

you should always want your garage to be freestanding and NOT at the front of the house Attached garages (at the front of the house) are a result of poor design and building practices starting in the early 70's.

We have Chinese EV's on the road in the UK. They are branded "MG", but that's just a badge now for SAIC. Not heard about fires yet. Perhaps they are a little more careful about the ones they export?

Fantastic content on all your podcasts. Well done!
As a former Base Fire Officer in the Australian military, I am gobsmacked at these well meaning but silly people standing so close to burning cars, with the very real possible of a massive explosion or burning liquid electrolyte under pressure, shooting out from under the car, engulfing everything, and every one, in its path...🐼🐼
Forgive them. Just 30 years ago those well meaning but silly people were totally unfamiliar with any other transportation technology than their government-issued black bicycle.😉
I think part of it comes down to ignorance on their part; they don't realize how dangerous it is to stand that close. Another part is that outside the West many people seem to care less about safety in general. They're way more accepting of danger even when they know fully well how dangerous something is.
Google the BYD Blade Battery puncher test aka they drill trhoug the battery and ZERO FIRE....

It will be very difficult to prove to the manufacturer the cause of the fire..
The thing is, it's not just an electrical fire. It's a metal fire. The metals in the battery actually catch fire. You do not want to mess around with metal fires. They are insanely intense.
The lithium in the batteries are turning moisture in the air into Lithium Hydroxide, Hydrogen gas, and heat. The Lithium itself doesn't ignite, but it produces a whole lot of good fuel.
@@ctpctp The lithium is undergoing a thermal reaction to produce lithium hydroxide. In laymen's terms, it's burning. It's going to be distinction without a difference when your entire car, including the frame, is on fire.

Indeed, and I first heard the term “‘export quality” used in south Asian to describe Chinese products. It turns out the Chinese junk we get the in US - export quality - is far better than the stuff they sell domestically. Now if you excuse me, I’m gonna go watch a movie on my Pony brand TV.
@@ClockworksOfGL export quality was a thing in all of the so called communist states. When you were bribing your doctor to give you the treatment you were technically guaranteed by law, the ones most likely to ensure you got a decent treatment were packs of real coffee smuggled from Germany, jeans, or export quality clothes. They were so much better than the domestic ones it wasn't even funny.
@@ClockworksOfGL wdym chinese junk, apple, tesla and a bunch of other companies all produce their products in China
I think this needs to be emphasized: The electric vehicle industry in the United States and particularly Europe is very well regulated. Electric vehicles in the aforementioned countries are relatively rare. It’s pretty much China and other corner-cutting countries that have electric vehicle fires with such regularity.
Firedepartements in my country actualy experiment with a container filled with fluid Instead of trying to put the flames out they just dump the burning ev in there and leave it for up to a week (!) until they are sure that the batteries have fully drained...
The biggest problem is that even when you constantly lower the temperature of the fire with water the shorted battery will continue to discharge rapidly until it simply cannot any more. And heat will probably fuse together more and more parts of the battery until everything is shorted. My god imagine a mass crash in a tunnel in a world with the majority being electric cars that would be absolutely deadly.
Few years ago a diesel car started to burn in Norwegian airport parking hall. Several gas tanks exploded destroying that section of parking hall. Several EVs burned, but not a single battery burned. Accident in a tunnel full of EVs would much less serious than with gas cars. Hydrogen cars would make it much worse.
You just made a very sobering point. That would be a very nasty domino effect.
@@jkn6644 EVs with safer batteries would. But in China they use the least safe chemistries.
Those chemistries emit oxygen gas in significant quantities when they burn, so the graphite and metal electrodes also catch fire. Metal+graphite fire is no joke!
@@adamrak7560 there is no safer battery
Gasoline burns more easily and you are most likely carrying 2-3 times more energy in the gasoline than in the battery. I would be far more worried about such a crash happening with gas cars. Much more likely to spread from car to car with the explosive flames from gasoline vs heat but mostly contained for batteries.
I was on the firefighting team as part of my job on a ferry in 2021-22. Our gravest fear was having an EV catch fire on the car deck, as we wouldn’t be able to extinguish it, despite having the newest high-fog, foaming agents, and enormous fire pumps. We would always park them by the ramp, joking that they’d go overboard if they caught fire (impossible btw). Thankfully never happened and the company no longer allows EVs onboard.
actually here in europe they just put in them in container filled with water and wait for about 2 weaks .....

China misunderstood the assignment. They thought EV ment Explosive Vehicle
My fortune cookie exploded. All my lo mein was fried. Told the owner my money all burned. He said "You pay anyways!" Handed him a stack of incinerated scallops and he was happy. Going to the Mexican place next. I wonder if my refried beans will erupt into a lava flow.
Stick with me for a moment while I explain something. I used to import computer mice, I mean by the container load. We would start by ordering some samples which we tested and noted the components. Satisfied that they worked we would order an initial batch of 3,000 pieces. When they arrived we would test those mice but guess what, the internals were nothing like the samples that we signed off. Sure they looked the same and they also worked but when confronted the factories response was "what's your problem, they are the same thing. We use other components when there's a short supply". This video 100% explains the truth about Chinese manufacturing, it's like an ants nest of small companies supplying bigger ones and they will take short cuts without you knowing. I don't know why you electric reviewers out there keep banging on about their design, their construction and their reliability? It's all smoke and mirrors.
This is why the EU and the USA is keep saying things like "go green"... as in..."take the rubbish from china and start manufacturing to create a better quality item " etc.... THAT is what they are saying now. Some people have started to do just that. Others not so much...
it's pretty much known the chinese worship wealth and will screw you over for it

Those batteries often have fluorinated plastics and liquids inside. The smoke coming out is extremely toxic.
Well also PVC for the cables, which can result in chlorine gas being emitted...
EV fires are suppressed and censored by the media. Question ? Why ?
I sometimes work in tunnels here in Europe. In general, only diesel-fueled vehicles are allowed inside the tunnel as diesel doesn't ignite as much as gasoline; and this is also the reason why especially EVs are NOT allowed inside a tunnel under construction.
That's really interesting bro thanks your your insight

the horizontal flame thrower mode is quite impressive. I heard they had primitive propane versions of those as carjacker deterrents in Johannesburg, but those were intentional and only worked in small bursts.
Seen those too, lol.
Some great vids of flame fried SA thugs. Funny shit, asses on fire and their heads are catching, swatting themselves like they're dancing the macarena🎆 LOL
Wonder how much the subscription for flame thrower mode is? 🤔
Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
(19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

How I miss them olde days, when everything worked in S. A. Hahaa... I would absolutely loved to see them flame throwers back in action.. Hah
The front end damage distorting the door and cab of the BYD in the multiple car accident is EXTREMELY concerning for anyone who knows even a little bit about the impact safety testing done on new vehicles, especially when the airbags failed too.
if the airbags wont deploy its a failed test and the car is not allowed to be sold here locally, that in the one if not one of the top requirements to get a ok to be sold
Tesla showed a video of crash tested vehicle that you could sill open and close the door. Meaning of course the crash had very little impact on the passenger cabin. BYD or any chinese car brand will never be sold in the US.
@@donm2255 Everything you said is true but BYD won't be sold in the US because of politics. BYD is meeting safety requirements and starting to sell cars in Europe, Australia and other western area's. Sure they won't be as safe as Tesla's but most cars aren't. BYD certainly has a way to go but their cars have gotten significantly better over the years.
@@Ryan-ff2db Or perhaps, they are selling in Europe and Australia because of politics.
@@JohnSmith-wx9wj Or lack there of, but whatever the reasons, they will need to pass the same regulations as everyone else. BYD is selling at significantly lower prices than other EV's and even lower than ICE vehicles in some cases. If they can pass safety regulations and politics in western countries they will gain a huge market share. Then again those are "ifs"
It happened in Luton Airport but they were paid to say it was a diesel.
I suggested to my apartment manager (in writing) they consider banning the charging of scooters and bikes within 50 feet of buildings due to battery fires .
Consumer: The car catches fire.
Company: We are working to solve this.
Consumer: The air bags don't go off.
Company: To address the issue of our cars catching fire, we have disabled the air bags to increase your chances of being ejected from the vehicle. We've determined that this is a safer alternative to burning alive.
Sounds like a splendid 5 year plan comrade😀
What about a fire extinguisher as optional !?! 😂😂😂😂😂
😂
They aren't wrong.
Tofu Dreg Batteries 🤣😂🤣😂😅
I see what you’re saying... the BYD camper van deploys it’s own campfire when you arrive at the camp ground, and it’s wind & rain resistant :D
No good for marshmallows tho....

Thanks for sharing!
First time watching, well done!
As a voluneteer firefighter, EV fires are our worst nightmare. You can't really put them out, as soon as you stop the water, it reignites itself. The strategy is therefore to get a huge container, fill it up with water and throw the burning car inside, where it can stay for up to a month.
Great. And that's called progress...
@@rudimoesbauer184 gasoline cars catch fire, horses don't. You call that progress? 🤣🤣
German fire fighters say cover it with fireproof blanket, foam, and leave till cool. It is pointless to try to put out with water. That simply causes more electrical shorts, igniting a different battery cell.
@@ps8432 funny enough I am also a German firefighter 😁 guess this varies by Bundesland. We only ever use foam for liquid (fuel) fires. Probably also a good idea though, especially in combination with the blankets, as I am not sure how long our foam lasts, I think only a couple of hours.
Shouldn't you be using special metallic fire fire extinguishers for this?
When I was in China, the taxi fleet had been upgraded in about the last 5 years, with similar aged Toyotas. VWs, BYDs and some Suzuki vehicles. I would actively avoid the BYD's as they were totally clapped out, was incredible how quickly they disintegrated in comparison to the other marques.
Reminds me of a friend I had in Italy. He bought a brand new Tata pickup (Tacoma clone basically) and it fell apart straight away. It wasn't even six months old and it had nasty electrical gremlins and surprisingly broad mechanical issues. Parts were just popping off; go to roll down the window and the winder would end up in your hand lol-
@@mer9706 The stories I could tell you about Tatas!
And the next biggest problem after buying your Tata is getting mechanics to fix it without making the car another 5 years older because of the damage they would do!
@@mechpatt LMAO
you must not came to China over 10 years， now BYD sells more than Toyota， Suzuki？ i am sorry it has quit Chinese market。
笑死掉
I'm so glad EVs are not adding to atmospheric Pollution!
Don't let China send them on American ships and why ships are catching fire
When battery goes off it's not an electrical fire it's a chemical fire
Exactly because a lithium battery is just a galvanic element....
It's both actually. Electrical fires are something chemical burning, like the wiring or the gunk inside a battery. I know what you meant. Lithium metal burns a bit like magnesium does and it hates water.
The only people that can stop things like this is insurance companies. They either ramp up premiums or refuse to insure them.
True, just like the houses in California they refuse to insure now.
why? Gas cars are literally 100 times more likely to catch fire. Feel free to look it up. Nearly 200,000 cars every year catch fire in the US.
@@Tokenomics1 Its not what's more likely, its what it takes to put it out that's the problem. There's no argument that gasoline cars catch fire too, but they can be extinguished a lot easier, and safer.
Na, they are Subsidized by governments fool! Your tax money is being used to trick you!
@@Tokenomics1 Just FYI those stats don't differentiate between Electric and Gas car Fires. How many of those 200k are Electric cars vs Gas Cars? No one will tell you!
Thank you so very much for your objective review. U r an everyday hero!
Watching these videos is like watching Brazil come to life. I can imagine the music playing in the background.
“No matter how nice and how many features, still have quality issues.” I think the whole focus of “Made in China” is to look good on the store shelf and be the cheapest, and who cares if it doesn’t function or falls to pieces within a few weeks or months (or hours….have seen new kids shoes come apart while being tried on in the store).
@Vidalion hahaha. Something similar like that happened to me in Belize. I bought some Chinese tennis shoes and the entire sole & heel came off before I got home. 😅
@@michaelpowers9259 in China, we also buy the Chinese brand shoes which can last for 2 years at least, if you want to choose made in China, you should buy the Chinese brand but not the just made in China.
China cell phones are really the only thing thats good in quality.they last longer than the buildings and cars they make.
Chinas industry can produce "made in China" and actual quality goods.
But going down the quantity over quality route has proven to make more money to them, hence most stuff produced in China fully falls into the "made in China" category.
Unless we stop buying crap, they will continue to sell us crap.
Chinese companies have really figured out this part of capitalism.
When I was making my products for shipment, I had an option to use Cheap Chinese material and make good profit but I preferred quality over cost. My profit margin was less but my customers only buy my products 😂😂
It’s unfortunate that byd cars are being sold here in India
Yes, especially cause this will lead to improper disposal of battery materials
All electric cars have this problem and they are not as green as they say, all the materials for the bat'teries are not recycled, toxic and only last 5 to 10 years before you need to replace and discard the whole set. (Also very expensive to replace battery set).
@@robertjohnston8690 yea I think hydrogen may be the future
russia too
indians love buying cheap chinese crap, you need to take a stance!
Utterly amazing that they kept trying to put out the EV car fire when it is sitting in the middle of the road, but ignored the burning building, Astonishing.
what are the fumes consisting of when a battery burns?
As far as I know, it's incredibly toxic
As an ex volunteer fire fighter I know how hard it is to extinguish any car on fire. But also know that lithium spontaneously combusts when exposed to water. That's like fighting fire with fire.
I watched a video of a tesla in Texas that the owner piled books on the seat and sat in the passenger seat and let it drive in autopilot. It autopiloted itself into a tree. It burned and they put I think 21,000 gallons of water on it over 4 hours before it went out
Modern batteries aren't made from lithium.
It's cobalt+iron. Which is more safe, I guess.
But cutting corners and disregarding safety tasting will account for that inconvenience 😂
😂😢😂😂😢
@@ik2254lifepo4 is still use in many modern big brand car
There's not a lot of lithium in a lithium battery. That's not the issue. The problem simply is that the battery has all that's needed inside: the fuel, the oxygen, and the ignition source, which means you can't put out the fire until it has internally ran out of one of those. Your goal is just to keep the battery and the surroundings cool enough in order to not let the fire spread while it's using up all its energy.
The biggest fear I have with an electric vehicle is not being able to get my kids out of their car seat in time if or when it catches fire
More time you get than ice
Don't worry those battery fires are slow starters, there will be plenty of time. When your gas car starts to smoke you had better be quick though.
Indeed. it's fear. Not reality.
A big tank of gas fire = explosion
Battery = slow 4hr fire
Then you probably shouldn’t drive a gas powered car. Gas burns and exploded instantly
@@GreenDriveIndia Under what circumstance? You're driving a Pinto still? A fire around the EGR system? A short on the tail lights wiring? You will have time to react.
With an EV the fire starts under the vehicle, the only thing I can think is comparable is forcing the ICE car to run fuel rich and setting your catalytic converter on fire. Even if you puncture the gasoline tank, you still need an ignition source from somewhere.
"It''s all a smoke screen."
Especially after it bursts into flames.
I haven't seen the stats on this particular car, but the rate of catching fire of EVs is actually MUCH lower than fossil fuel cars. There was a massive fire in the UK at an airport and it was common knowledge that it was an EV, but eventually they discovered it was a diesel car that spontaneously caught fire. The fact that the car doesn't carry the oxygen around with it matters hardly at all when the air does that for you.
That is absolutely horrifying! The e-bike caught fire while the owner and another man were in the elevator. Fortunately, they were able to escape in time.
So lucky. I am retired FDNY, and it was common for civilians to try to toss out a smoldering chair or mattress, only to have it light up in the elevator from the air flow as it went down
@@richardmeo2503 I bet that happened more in specific "hoods."
in Singapore previous case, the person died, its either e-scooter board thiny or e-bike iinm
Yeah thanks, we totally missed that part
@@josiahr1375 The wealthy would call "a worker bee" to handle anything like that. Sadly with so many "hoods" in NYC that issue was a common problem. More than once the civilians were found dead in the flaming elevator.
There's an old saying here: "It fell apart faster than a Chinese motorcycle".
Respect from india🇮🇳 🙏 keep washing chanese
Once the battery is in thermal runaway, the battery produces oxygen and heat through a chemical reaction that then produces flame. It can be submerged in water and still not be extinguished. It can be put in a vacuum and still burn. The batteries needs to burn completely before the fire is considered extinguished. Water is used to cool it while it burns.
Interesting. Thanks for succinct explanation.
They should adapt and bring more more water with EVs burning
@@user-gq8rw6hf9v in fact water helps lithium batteries to burn, you'll need a fire extinguisher for that specifically
but the best picture where the car loses its entire rear axle with the wheels, how cool is that?
hmm...someone should tell the dopey climate activists blocking up the roads about this! Doesn't sound very environmentally friendly. Like those windmills that kill thousands and thousands of birds.
Their ev's are so ahead of the game they even got a self destruct feature
Before the internal atomic energy battery explode the car goes up in flame so to avoid a small nucelar explosion like in the terminator movie, in the movie the terminator did remove the battery by himself but customers isnt allowed to change or remove anything from their EVs so the car have to go up in flames and self destruct.
To make sure those pesky westerners can't get their hands on them and infringe on their IP 😂
@@BAUSSCO DNA scanners built in to the cars, if they detect a tourist in the driver seat it start the BBQ ?
5:50 GODDAMN that's a freaking FLAMETHROWER.
EVs have a long way to go to prove themselves.
These are class Delta fires, in the navy the preferred method for Delta fires was to jettison whatever was burning over the side into the ocean.
Too bad cars don't drive in the ocean.
Will it become a Delta Mike fire then? (Discard Maritim)
There are commercial products available to put out these fires. They make the battery very cold basically.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 The problem is getting close enough to the exploding/burning EV to use those products.
The frightening thing is that you have less than 30 secs to get out of the car before the fire and smoke overwhelms you
That's if the door opens ...gulp !
wear a race suit and helmet when you drive. Problem solved lol
@@manoz6194 1 iq take
30 seconds? It wouldnt take me more than 2-4 seconds (depending on the type of pants im wearing) to get out of my car. 30seconds is more than enough time. I could probably light the cigarette on the flames, smoke it, and then get out of the car before 30seconds lmao. Try harder
I worked at an electronic components manufacturer. We had many parts in deadstock. All made in china. We could not use them beacause they were faulty. I certainly would not feel safe in a vehicle made completely of them.
It's like if Apple tried to make a Tesla with Lithium Ion batteries.
Just as an added note, my 31 year old petrol car has leaked gasoline in the engine bay for about 3 days until i caught it, and replaced a cracked rubber hose. The point is, that all the petrol what leaked went straight onto the exhaust manifold, what is extremely hot most of the time, and it still didnt catch fire. It evaporated before it could ignite. So remember, things can, and WILL happen, and its pretty important how "bullettproof" is the technology. We are using petrol for over than 100years now.. and it shows.
it's the evaporated gasoline that ignites. you did get quite lucky
@@03056932 nah, happened to me again since then, the retainer failed, so it was pouring big time, but again, besides the stink of petrol nothing happened
You may be surprised to learn how many gasoline cars catch fire each year. According to our analysis of data found in the National Fire Protection Association, Reuters, and U.S. fire departments, there are an estimated 284,130 gasoline cars that catch fire every year.
@@ThePeca1988 your own example, an anecdote, doesn't trump science. gasoline vapour ignites. not the liquid. look it up.
you are extremely lucky, but you will ofcause also cling to that as a proof of fact instead of looking at real data. Actual facts are, that battery cars catch fire much LESS than ice does.
Haha i thought i clicked the wrong video when this started😂
you might need to mention that the particle fire extinguishers they were using to put out the apartment fire is one of the most expensive extinguishers you can get. They are basically highly compress, super dried sand in extreme pressure. They work by smothering the flame so using them from 4 meters away isn't going to do much for an electrical fire. They would have been better off carrying buckets of sand
yes and it's really the wrong type for lithium. You need heavier than air inert gas...IIRC not an expert.
In the Netherlands they dipped it in a container full of water. Maybe we should have firefighting methods before we launch electric cars. But that would be too easy.
Isn't the way to fight them just flooding with enough water to cool it and stop the thermal runaway? There's no atmospheric oxygen to smother, it's about just removing the heat energy.
@@wilsonx3217 Maybe we should require blow-out prevention devices that actually work before licensing deep-sea oil drilling operations hmmmmm
The issue there is that some of the high voltage circuits might still be live
Thanks for covering this exclusive BYD EV feature. It’s called AFP technology (automatic fire pit tech). If you are camping, this feature turns your EV to an enormous camp fire, free of charge. Only setback is it’s for one time use.

Did you notice with the guy stuck at the side of the road who's car wouldn't start - he was stationary yet the speedometer read that he was moving at 35mph!
Love the “flame on” function
Make me feel like a super hero
Don't forget how incredibly toxic the smoke and fumes created when those EV's burn is,I'm glad I don't have any charging systems by where I live and I haven't seen those brands of cars in Canada yet.Hopefully never after seeing your great video,thanks.
The whole EV crazy has to stop right now. Making the batteries is extremely harmful to the environment (and the people who mine the materials), uses tons of energy, recycling then is a catastrophe and we are heading towards being buried in a battery avalanche, the toxins from batteries just rotting away somewhere are bad, the energy to charge them is mostly dirty and yeah, obviously they are unsafe too. We've had EV bus fleets burn down in Germany and France so this isn't just a Chinese quality problem.
Don't import them
Can you name one EV brand that hasn't caught fire? Battery tech is changing all the time. Don't join the scaremongers.
those are hiybrid cars not EVs
So are ICE cars, you generally don't want to breath in the fumes that come from either a EV or a gasoline car.
The heaters are impressive... In wintertime you'll be in your toasty living room calling the fire department for your high end Chinese luxury vehicle in roaring flames out on the street. (hopefully not in your garage)
In big cities it's hard to find a place to park. With a BYD it's no problem. You park wherever you like. By the time they get round to ticketing or towing your car it will have self combusted. Problem solved. VIN tags and license plates no longer legible. Plausible deniability. Or you could just say it drove itself there and then caught fire. So you can claim the insurance without receiving a parking fine. Like the Chinese say "If you can cheat, cheat".
