Samsters still dare to try EV?

Farking Mercedes EV also can suddenly burn and explode like that, don't talk about BYD and other makes. Any EV charging point is a ticking time bomb about to explode literally.

Chee Hong Tat will have a lot on his plate soon. Best is EVs cause fire and burnt a PAP minister's immediate family members to death. Then confirm there will be island-like ban of EVs and removal of all charging points to go back to ICE and hybrids, LOL. Else PAP will continue to push for policies to fark Sinkies with EVs and more charging points.

Mercedes EV Bursts Into Flames In Parking Lot, Injuring 21 People And Damaging 70 Cars​

It took firefighters 8 hours to extinguish the fire, which filled the apartment complex with black smoke

  • A Mercedes EQE ignited a massive fire at a South Korean apartment complex.
  • The fully electric sedan burst into flames while parked and not charging.
  • 20 residents and one firefighter were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
A Mercedes-Benz EQE electric sedan exploded in a South Korean apartment complex parking lot, igniting a massive fire. The toxic fumes sent 21 people to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and damaged 70 other vehicles.

The incident occurred in Incheon, South Korea, and was captured on CCTV footage from the underground parking lot. The fully electric sedan can be seen emitting white smoke while parked and not charging, likely from the floor-mounted battery. Moments later, the EQE erupts into flames, which then spread to nearby vehicles.

According to the Incheon Fire Department, the fire broke out around 6:15 am on the first basement floor of the apartment complex. A total of 177 emergency responders and 80 pieces of equipment were deployed to the scene. Local media reported that it took 8 hours to extinguish the fire. Electric vehicle fires are notoriously difficult to manage, though they occur less frequently than those in ICE-powered vehicles

Due to heavy smoke, a total of 209 residents had to evacuate their apartments, with nearly half being rescued by firefighters from stairs and balconies. Twenty residents, including seven infants and children under 10, were hospitalized after inhaling smoke, along with one firefighter.



A spokesperson from the local arm of Mercedes-Benz spoke to the Korea JoongAng Daily about the incident: “We can’t confirm details about the exact model and batteries at the moment. We are taking this very seriously and will do our best to collaborate with fire authorities to determine the exact cause.”

The police and fire department have launched an investigation into the cause of the fire. Experts speculate that the EV might have been involved in a collision before the incident, which could have damaged the battery and led to overheating. While Mercedes has not confirmed this, the EQE sedan uses a CATL-sourced lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 90.6 kWh.

The fire reportedly damaged around 70 nearby vehicles and sent black smoke billowing into the sky. The complex, which includes 1,581 apartments in 14 buildings, prompted 197 emergency calls to the fire department.

Hospital Turns Away Dad’s EV Because It Might Catch Fire Or Explode​

The security guard allegedly told him that the EV's battery could react with the metal car park causing it to catch fire or explode

The incident took place at the Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool, UK. Mr Freeman-Powell, who had a doctor’s appointment for his son, claims he was turned away from one of the hospital’s car parks due to a temporarily ban for EVs.

The driver was greeted by “No Electric Vehicles” signs right outside the premises. He also spoke with a security guard who informed him that his EV’s battery could “react” with the metal car park causing it to “catch fire” or even “explode”. While this explanation didn’t make sense to the EV owner, he complied and parked outside, as he didn’t want to miss his seven-year-old son’s appointment.

Should have got a Tesla they're far less likely to catch fire.
 
OMG...moi better park far far away from those brand new EV
 
Fall in love with EVs!

These EV kind of thong is full shit ,the batteries cannot tahan hot weather

Nothing to do with weather. It is humid and not hot. Don’t be fooled by the effects. Otherwise all gas tanks already exploded like crazy. All I know is EMF from 5G cell towers are shooting everywhere

Remember the laser beams are shooting from 5G cell towers everywhere in major cities in case you think that cell tower is just doing nothing
 
Don't park next to an EV. Despite the improvement in range and a host of features, I still don't feel safe buying an EV.
 
like that means cannot park next to ev cars
Don’t park or stay near to anything or people who have graphene in them. EMF from 5G cell towers are attracted to graphene
 
NBCB better ban all EVs in S'pore before the whole nation MSCP and charging points all go up in flames.

EV was never an issue. The battery was the issue as it contains graphene as mentioned and 5G cell tower is attracted to graphene just like vaxtards who were injected with nanotechnology containing graphene oxide as part of the ingredients.

Remember the batteries in PMD? What has happen? Lol

The invisible laser beam are just shooting all over the place. You vaxtards are done.
 
Terrible of them to force their tunnel vision plan to sinkies throats instead of providing options and choics.
Let car owners choose what type they prefer. Both type can co-exist. Not their chosen one only.
 
With solid state batteries, EVs become a genuine and safe alternative to ICE.

Solid-state EV battery defeats 1112°F thermal runaway, withstands extreme heat​

The Goliath P1 remained safe and stable, avoiding the hazardous swelling, rupturing, explosion, or fire typically associated with traditional lithium-ion battery failure.​

A prototype solid-state battery, named the Goliath P1 and developed by UK startup Ilika, has made waves in the electric vehicle (EV) industry due to its significant benefits and implications. The battery achieved a major breakthrough by passing an important safety test known as the nail penetration test.

This test simulates a catastrophic incident that often leads to dangerous thermal runaway—a condition in which traditional lithium-ion batteries, which use liquid electrolytes, can explode or catch fire.

During this test, the Goliath P1, which uses a solid electrolyte, stayed at a temperature below 176°F (80°C). This is much lower than the 1112°F (600°C) often reached in thermal runaway events associated with lithium-ion batteries.

“In the nail penetration tests the P1 cells neither exploded nor caught fire, with external temperatures remaining below 80°C,” said the company in a press release.

Furthermore, the Goliath P1 showed none of the hazardous swelling, rupturing, explosion, or fire that typically occur when traditional lithium-ion batteries fail.

Solid state batteries to boost EVs​

Dr. James Robinson, leader of the UK Safebatt Project, which focuses on improving EV battery safety, expressed his excitement about these results.

“While there is still further testing to be undertaken, there seems to be an inherent safety advantage in nail penetration tests for this cell type over conventional state-of-the-art cells,” remarked Robinson.

Solid-state batteries are emerging as a promising technology in the quest for safer and more efficient electric vehicles. As the world moves towards achieving NetZero emissions, EVs are expected to be essential in this transition.
Solid-state batteries, known for their improved safety and high energy density, have the potential to transform the EV industry.
The inherent safety of solid-state batteries, as shown by Ilika’s successful nail penetration test, addresses the significant concerns linked with conventional lithium-ion batteries.
 

Toyota’s Solid-State Battery Production Plans Approved By Japan's Government​

The plan states that Toyota will begin solid-state battery production in 2026, although the initial ramp-up will be slow.​

Toyota is expected to be one of the world’s first car manufacturers to launch a passenger vehicle powered by solid-state batteries. The company has been talking about its solid-state goals for years, but now its plans to start building cars with this battery tech have been validated by the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, and the official start of production is set for sometime in 2026.
