I hadn't heard anything yet either.
How else am I supposed to generate 1.21 Gigawatts!
Isn't it always? Not that likely of a scenario though. Less to cause it to burn in the first place compared to an ICE vehicle, but we've got to keep the fear mongering and scare tactics up to make sure everyone knows EV=BAD!
And a battery also needs a fail point to have an ignition source. It also doesn’t contain flammable fluids. Neither spontaneously combust without a reason. What’s your point?
Fail point is usually internally in the cell or at a a connection within the battery pack. I would say all the battery fires I saw at work, 95% were bad connections that overheated. When they explode that is usually internally.
Reminds me of Hyundai's start stop system fail point recall on their gasoline cars. It's a pretty small percentage of failures to live in fear of EVs used as a delivery vehicle, don't you think?
LOL Due to my rural driving EVs are a while away, if ever for me. I have seen some big battery fires. Much like onboard Hydrogen.
It wasn't a reference to you, another poster mentioned EV delivery vehicles in particular.
A regular EV car works everywhere. I don't know what you're talking about. I'm always surrounded by corn fields. EV isn't the answer for every type of vehicle. Concerning yourself with the 0.1% scenario is just a fear tactic to explain something you don't want. That's fine to not like something, it doesn't require you to be irrational to tell me you don't want one.
Electrical fires are the most common even among ICE vehicles. EVs are just worse, especially as they age.Isn't it always? Not that likely of a scenario though. Less to cause it to burn in the first place compared to an ICE vehicle, but we've got to keep the fear mongering and scare tactics up to make sure everyone knows EV=BAD!
I\d think an all electric combine or tractor would be an improvement if they can design one that will run all day... those are machines that spend most of their life sitting still and get heavy use during planting or picking season. You wouldn't have to worry about changing the oil, or diesel emissions problems or the other stuff..
This still. BTW I looked it up and I was off in the figure. It was actually 0.3%. The figure for gasoline cars is 1.05%. Sure an EV if the battery is the source is more catastrophic, but it’s also less likely to happen.It comes down to battery size. Depending on what they came up with and the size of the farm it may make sense to some farmers.
Literally would not affect my decision whatsoever as long as the diesel trucks aren’t actively running.
I’d prefer not to sleep in a garage anyway, but how would you expect me to answer this? My EV charges 50 ft from where I sleep.
