In the Rimac OTOH he had the low center of gravity and large crumple zones on the car saving his bacon.

Not to mention that the occupants sit directly on top of the HUGE EV batteries , they are literally under the entirety of an EV cars floor, where as the battery in an ICE vehicle is isolated out in the engine bay.

@AmandaHugandKiss411 4 ай бұрын

EV fires are difficult to put out because basically it is a chemical fire. It doesn't require oxygen to burn. And they can reignite hours to days later. So placing them in a wrecking yard, compound or dump with other EVs potential mass fires could break out. Fire departments simply don't have the equipment and means to put out a larger scale fire.

Then I guess you haven’t done your homework. First will be the cost to purchase (more expensive than old reliable), cost to install a level 2 charger in your house (unless you can wait the 2-3 days to charge it with the charger the car comes with), electric vehicle fee (replaces the gas tax), high registration fee (usually goes by weight), higher insurance premiums (insurance companies usually total the car if the battery is damaged), electric vehicle disposal fees (you WILL , not maybe have to replace the battery within 8-10 years. Car won’t be worth half of the $20,000 cost which means EVs will become disposable cars and it’s not like the old days where you pulled off the road, took the plates off and walked away).

As a retired firefighter paramedic I can tell you the extrication training will need to change due to the batteries and their electric hazard. Even with air bags and other safety features, a high speed crash or roll over will be more significant and will cause more serious injuries. Extra weight is a serious concern.

As it turns out there is a large storage parking for brand new cars where one electric vehicle had spontaneously combusted and ended up burning over 100 other electric vehicles parked alongside it. It took the fire department over a day to get them put out and they had to bring in a special group who dealt with toxic fires using some sort of foam. Great job for the environment

I like radar assisted cruise control. It's crap in some cars but pretty decent in others. When I used to have a long commute it very much reduced fatigue. That said, you still need to learn the quirks with each car and pay attention. For instance in a Honda, if someone cuts you off it will dangerously slam on the brakes. Our Mazda is much smoother and will deal with the situation more naturally. I've not tried a Tesla, but whatever the case, you basically have to learn about the system and where its shortcomings exist and constantly look out for those situations. I don't think level 5 or 6 will ever really exist, but basic adaptive cruise control, if not abused. I think will help with fatigue on long drives. I don't think I'll ever buy an EV though as they just don't make sense. Maybe a hybrid, but not sure. Gasoline works great and I see no reason to abandon it.

One major change that needs to happen is a change to the regulations on ‘commercial light trucks’ since that is what is driving car companies to produce ever larger and heavier pickup trucks rather than sedans, hatchbacks, etc. The USA is the only developed country where road fatalities are increasing year on year and that is mostly because of pickup trucks being increasingly prevalent. Pickup trucks are heavier and have much worse visibility, especially as companies focus on making extraordinarily large hoods as a marketing gimmick. This has unfortunately resulted in a massive increase of children being run over and killed, often by their own parents in their own driveways.

You didn’t even mention the fact that a serious crash involving an EV is likely to rupture the battery pack resulting in an intense fire. A gasoline fire burns at around 600 degrees F, while a lithium battery fire burns at over 3209 degrees F. You can shut off the oxygen to a gasoline fire and put it out. A lithium battery fire produces its own oxygen making it nearly impossible to put out. The fire spreads so rapidly and intensely that you may not have time to escape. Then there’s the toxic fumes and the fact that anything near it burns too.

What is your take on how this massive oversight and lack of regulation in these highly dangerous batteries gonna impact crashes and safety? What will a highway pileup end up looking like in the future, with just a couple of EVs getting batteries punctured creating massive toxic fires?

I do work for a towing company and they straight up refuse to tow a damaged EV They don't have a facility to store it safely and if it goes up in the lot it could damage a dozen customers cars as it burns. Meanwhile their insurance hasn't been clear on whether or not they'll cover that

The batteries catching on fire when charging or in an accident should be at the top of the list along with battery life and how much it is to replace the battery when it becomes necessary.

Not really as ICE vehicles catch on fire more per 100k miles than BEV vehicles do. The only thing to be concerned about in lithium ion battery fires is how difficult it is to extinguish the fire.

If y'all would learn how to use that little red triangle button called a hazard button, when there are *hazards* on the road such as a sudden slowing of traffic or a traffic collision, it really helps warn other drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop to avoid pile ups.

Swear people in America now lives their lives by the motto "It's fine"! It's always it's fine, it's fine, then all of a sudden it's not fine when something bad happens. No prevention whatsoever then all of a sudden they act like there was no way that said problem could have been avoided.

Yes, I hate it. To be quite blunt, what is the primary difference between Americans and Europeans? Hint, a surgery done on the genitals at birth. "It's fine, life is good." This form of preverbal trauma, among other things, splits the core self and primes for dissociative behavior and passive aggression in adulthood.

I it is a mentality of the usually but not always the younger generations. Although men seem to do it a lot too. Every time I bring up a problem of some sort to my kids or husband, they seem to say it's fine. Coming in second is the I know, but they really do not or choose to ignore it. But then, I tend to lean on safeties side as opposed to risking mine or others lives.

You wonder how much money it will take to charge up your vehicle at one of those future charging stations. News articles on this subject..... The European Commission will soon decide whether to classify lithium as a toxic chemical - causing a freak-out among battery and raw material producers who argue that doing so will derail the bloc's transition to green energy. The European Chemicals Agency’s Risk Assessment Committee wants three lithium salts to be classified as “known human reproductive toxicants.” It argues they can damage fertility or fetuses, and could harm breast-fed children.

I just watched a video from a local news outfit about someone who ran into a phone pole in a Tesla. The battery caught fire and the people in the backseat could not find the manual release. Eyewitness reports that people were seen beating on the back window desperately trying to escape. Of the 4 occupants, one person burned alive, and the other passengers were all critically injured. So next you get into the backseat of a Tesla you should probably be carrying a window breaker. Its not about battery fires or EV's. It's about dumb modern car designs.

As an engineer in the automotive sector, I can tell you that most projects start at least two years behind any new platforms. our budgets are tight so there is more profit than quoted which means corners are forced to be cut and will be and they will pay over time in payroll expenses since this is less than redesign outsourced work. Yes EV is on the rise and I understand the safety concerns associated yet this causes very expensive engineering mitigations to both 2D and 3D data which can take easily months to validate into production. Thus you have multiple cost sectors that potentially cause downstream effects to the project creating a tremendous a mount of stress. IMO, the board and shareholders only care about making more money than they put into the project at the end of day and you as an employee are there to suffer through it.

Thank you for the break down. I read somewhere where upper management is responsible for 80% of the problems in the company. But the workers get blamed for 80% of the issues. They found workers only cause less than 30% and they are fixable. Great point. You can only do what you have to work with. Greedy and saving money or cutting costs don’t mix especially when it comes to safety.
