Also, I actually had a vehicle from 1987 that totally flooded the cylinders with gasoline due to a fault in the carburetor, and even then it didn’t explode when I started it.
Seriously though, what’s up with these EV’s that’ll just as soon randomly burn your garage and house down while you’re asleep and the car isn’t even running?
Liquid gasoline is not what will explode. You need vapors. Gasoline still requires oxygen to burn, so if air is not mixing with the fuel, nothing’s gonna happen.
An internal combustion engine relies on having an environment of maximum flammability in order to function correctly. It’s when that environment is no longer contained by the engine that you run into catastrophic problems. Multiplied by how empty your fuel tank is.
Still, gasoline doesn’t have a tendency to up and spontaneously combust all on its own, it takes some sort of external spark or flame to ignite.
Lithium batteries play a different game of Russian Roulette though. The car doesn’t even have to be running for one worn out cell to overheat and cause a catastrophic chain reaction blowing the entire battery pack.
I wish you people would actually do a comparison between ICE engine explosions vs. EV explosions.
Guess what? Firefighters can actually put out ICE vehicles, but they still haven’t figured out a solid way of putting out EV batteries.
Guess what? When ICE vehicles explode, more often than not they’re already running and there’s some electrical short or something. EV will just as soon explode in your garage while you’re sleeping.
Guess what? Studies show that since EV’s are way heavier, they wear through tires way faster? Did you know it takes approximately one barrel of crude oil to make an average car tire?
Guess what? Autonomous vehicles seem to have a habit of getting confused around emergency vehicles and causing wrecks, into the very vehicles meant to save people from accidents.
Guess what? Lithium ion batteries are typically rated for a max safe temperature of around 40⁰C, while the pavement the battery sits right over can be over 80⁰C
I’m too lazy to look up links, you’re smart, go Google these things or whatever. All these facts check out.
Yes, I love carrying potentially explosive batteries in the pocket…

I hope you also love driving an actual explosion. Also known as a car.

This is quite true.

Yeah, right, lol https://www.reddit.com/r/IdiotsInCars/comments/fzm7i8/a_lamborghini_driver_set_his_car_on_fire_while/

Guess what? You’re wrong on all points. Studies show that you have 5G Corona and should report to Bill Gates immediately.
