Let me axe you sumthin - What is fueling the fire from one car to the next???
Can't get a BBQ started without squirting a load of fuel on it, how is this a raging inferno? Are these cars made out of wood stuffed with dryer lint???
EVs burn really well in time. Remember the flooding in Fla and days later the salt water caused EVs to catch on fire ? Makes one ask will it break down first or catch on fire.
It’s called thermal runaway. It’s pretty scary and hard to put out. I guess it’s what you’d describe as positive feedback. One battery starts on fire, any nearby will follow.
My question too. These cars dont have full gas tanks. Plastics can burn pretty hot and the foam in the seats but how does it spread into this? Skeptical that there isnt fuckery afoot.
Seat foam and plastics in vehicles have fire retardant added in manufacturing and must pass FMVSS requirements. M
Doesn’t mean they won’t burn. But shouldn’t burn uncontrolled.
Exactly...plus it's California. By law the fuel has to be drained before they're parked for salvage... same in other states. I've been to more junkyards than you can shake a stick at. I'd guess most have never been to one, let alone a U-pull it.
Looks like bullshit...(Prolly smells like it too)

Yeah... I've seen plenty. But my question is from car to car into a raging inferno...
The rubber tires, and all the other plastic stuff in cars... nasty

These arent all EVs with batteries.
i know i would never park one in my garage.
Amen, me neither, but then I would never buy a EV .
