Many, many more. But matty wants to create an atmosphere of fear because he prefers diesel and petrol cars.
NO, I wanted to let you know that an EV car fire was the death of 2 firefighters in spain, just like the rest of y'all like to let the rest of us know something that was in the news.
If the point is that firefighters died, that is tragic. As is every death in service.
So why mention the cause of the fire?
Because it was the cause of their deaths, the initial fire was from an EV.
Do you think he'd have written "A sad loss...because of ICEs" if it was an ICE car?
Over to you, matty.
I have not seen anything mentioning 2 firefighters in Spain dying due to ICE cars.
..tackling multiple car fires.
The only reason it was multiple car fires was because an EV car started it and the fire then spread to other cars.
In case you did not actually watch the video:
Within the first 40 seconds of the video the experienced firefighter (So I'll listen to him more than you) explains that he would not expect an ICE vehicle to set on fire like this, most vehicles are not as prone to setting on fire just because they hit a supporting column at low speed. Reports say the batteries were on fire fast, suggesting something punctured the battery compartment starting thermal runaway and the consequent fierce fire, then filling the garage with toxic smoke & flammable gas which resulted in a large explosion.
One firefighter was killed instantly in the explosion due to the above, the other died shortly after due to the toxic smoke.
14 other firefighters were injured and at least 1 was still in a critical condition.
Stick up for EV's all you want, however they ARE more dangerous when on fire especially when in a confined space such as an underground garage.
Yes, it's a sad day in Spain because of EV's.
