Nailed it. As you’ve said before, once you’ve lived in China for a while, you realize they just chabuduo the **** out of everything. My “luxury” apartment in Beijing looked amazing… for the first few months. It’s only after you’ve lived there for a while that you realize the wood paneling is just stickers, the kitchen sink is only held on with caulk, and the granite flooring in your bedroom starts to crack and break apart because they never leveled the subfloor and used spackel instead of grout. If they’ll cut corners when making baby formula to earn a few extra bucks, then why would it be any different for an EV?

From internal combustion engine to spontaneous combustion batteries, what a marvel of technological progress!

[krautworks]

The company I used to work at provided testing facilities for the automotive industry, batteries included. The battery tests were conducted in armored, reinforced cargo containers for safety.
And around a year ago, a battery actually blew up inside one of them. The explosion was violent enough to rip the reinforced door out of the frame and yeet it several meters away. There even were some blow-out panels installed, but the pressure of the explosion was just too much for them to handle.

So China invented a flashy EV version of the Ford Pinto that self ignites, no collision in the rear necessary, as a key feature. Hopefully it has other great features like an "all static" AM radio, automatic ejector seats that launch upon collision, self-shredding transmission, motor oil fountain, and auto flattening tires.

The wild thing is, none of these were accidents, they were all just charging or driving normally. These are massive quality control issues. I work on smart phones and smart devices and know firsthand that you can't mess with Lithium batteries. The thermal runaway will just continue until the energy is used.

Made In China really means Remain In China

I know I'm pretty late but GODDAMN that motorcycle in the elevator had me absolutely mortified for those two... I can't imagine the horror of knowing that thing IS going to explode at ANY moment, you can see the panic setting in on those two poor people...

[EleanorPeterson]

Safety tip: stay upwind of a lithium battery fire. The smoke is seriously toxic. In an enclosed space, don't try to fight the fire - you'll fail - just get outside.

These EV‘s are giving the term internal combustion a whole new meaning.

I stayed in a Chinese built apartment block in Kenya. It looked like a unmaintained 20 year old building in the UK. Electrics tripping, paint peeling, damp, leaks, broken glass and everything was super low quality. It was in a shocking state and was 2 years old!

This is why I'm very wary about Chinese made Bluetooth ear buds. The thought of the battery exploding or catching fire in my ear is scary.

[angiedillman]

I have a fireman friend and he told me these electric cars are ridiculously hard to put out, the degrees at which they burn is incredible compared to regular fires..He said water barely works..They need to find something that can put these fires out quickly

[jxxxxx]

This is why Japanese automakers are "behind" in the EV game. They have to make sure that the technology they're putting in their cars actually WORKS, instead of, you know, catching fire.

[Anhemnnneditor]

The older Tesla from 2012-2013 also catch on fire but when Tesla heard about that, they put a massive titanium cover to protect the battery and a really big fan to help the battery cool down when overheat! Chinese brand don't have these!!!!

[patrickchubey]

I was considering buying an electric bike, but then I started to hear about those things just bursting into flames, and since I'd be keeping it in my garage, that means if it caught fire, it would burn down our house, maybe at night with me and the missus asleep. I gave up the idea and just got a normal 21 speed bike for our mountain roads. The fact that manufacturers AND the media are keeping this quiet is not only disgusting, it's potential murder.

The new "onboard crematory" feature was added to address the formerly long waiting times in funeral homes.

[randomnik]

When I was a child I wanted a big house like in American movies, with a big garage integrated. Now with all these EVs I want my garage to be a free-standing structure at least 10 meters away.

You get what you paid for … you paid for a metal moving coffin, and you got it !

Good to see Chinese manufacturing is still at high quality levels.

Dude, my Chinese made shaving machine blew up whilst being charged for the very first time. It literally blew up, and I didn’t even get to use it, not even once. That’s $70 down the drain. My previous German-made (Braun)shaving machine, lasted from 2009-2022.
