Only idiots believe that is true. There's a reason why lithium batteries are considered HazMat and why they shouldn't be connected while being shipped. Somebody fucked up if a car started burning from its batteries.

Now isn’t this priceless irony?




Stop all future shipments of EVs over seas....TODAY!

That there were only 25 ev's is interesting. The Felicity Ace was burned last year also because ev's. The Golden Ray went down in 2019 though that was because of failure to properly ballast the ship.
 
Just wait till an ev starts burning in a underground parking garage, and ends up burning the building and threatening a city. The government will then mandate fire suppression systems in EV's, adding many thousands to the price.

You are almost certainly not going to be allowed to own a car in UTOPIA so to some extent this wont matter except that if you are allowed to call a car it will cost more digital currency.

Putting out a lithium fire is difficult but doable.

Lithium-ion batteries (or Li-ion batteries) are considered safe to use, but with growing usage from millions of consumers and businesses, failure is bound to happen. Issues with exploding cell phones, e-cigarettes, and laptops haven't gone away, even years after the Samsung Galaxy 7 recall. In the aviation industry alone, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported a total of 340 incidents involving smoking or burning lithium-ion batteries between 2006 and 2021.

Due to the rising popularity of Li-ion batteries, it’s crucial that businesses and employees who commonly use products and devices powered by lithium-ion batteries understand the associated safety hazards as well as basic handling and storage guidelines to avoid workplace fires and injuries.

Let's discuss how lithium-ion battery fires start, which fire extinguisher to use, and useful lithium-ion battery safety tips to ensure your employees are prepared and able to prevent these fires from occurring in the workplace....

I want to make a personal note for the record, that I will not be jumping to conclusions about what stared this fire.

NO! I will wait until it has been investigated by the experts to tell the public the truth, based on facts and evidence!

Cargo ships catch on fire all the time, for all kinds of different reasons, including sabotage, where there are "0" EV's on board.

The deep into this dark age when we are constantly lied to by power your approach is idiotic.
 
The crew knows where this fire started, and they know what cars were there is one thing. Another is that we know that Regime Media is loath to report anything that weakens the Save The Planet narrative.

I tend to suspect that this is an EV caused fire.

An EV was my first thought. Some shipping companies are refusing to carry EVs. Joe Crapitalist Craps his panties.

The new battery tech that is showing tremendous promise is sodium based and not lithium. Better in every regard including performance.

It does look like we are jumping into EV's before the tech is ready.

Which is moronic.
