50,000 gallons.That’s how much water it took to extinguish the Tesla Semi that caught fire on a California highway last month, according to investigators. That’s the equivalent of one of those carbon-bolted steel tanks used in irrigation or wastewater. And its certainly a lot more than the 500 gallons that was needed to put out a Model S fire in 2018.
EV battery fires are such a concern that the Department of Transportation convened a whole-ass panel about it last month.
Ev’s are fake and gay. I wanna see musk design a internal combustion car.
Tiny explosions in an engine are bad for the environment. They make cows fart aswell. My ev is clean. The lithium mines have zero carbon emissions. And if everyone has an ev then we won't need petrolium for anything ever again. <insert blue purple hair screaming white chick with a female penis>
Meanwhile, brown children claw lithium ore from the earth with their bare hands...
lmin: sarcasm, right?
Yes ofcourse
EV's based on batteries are indeed fake and ghey.
EV's based on fuel cells, or some other type of electric power generation that works as you are driving could become viable competitors to ICE cars.
Did you know that train locomotives are hybrids? They use electric motors to actually move the train (which have truly insane amounts of torque) while they use diesel generators in the locomotive to supply the electricity for the electric motors as the locomotive is rolling down the tracks.
Build cars using the same basic hybrid principles and you could have a pretty decent competitor... electric motors have some big advantages, and your entire drive train is nothing more than a power cable... but you lose efficiency and therefore waste energy converting the fuel to electricity, which is why we are not all driving that type of hybrid car already.
Basing EV's on batteries, especially unstable ones, is just plain stupid.
Hybrids are way better, you are correct.
"Did you know that train locomotives are hybrids? "
Yes, I do. But they're not "hybrids" in the same sense as hybrid autos. In a locomotive, there is no battery involved.
