What has large lithium batteries? All BMWs? The 10 new BMWs that were destroyed? The information I could find did not give a cause of the fire.

I read a few articles regarding this. Check out the article in which a BMW caught fire in the garage of a homeowner in Wesley Chapel. Even though the cause of that fire is still under investigation, It will provide you with some insight.

although true in the simpliest of comparisons, the actual differences between gas and chemical fires are miles apart in intensity and extinguishment execution, and lithium files probably follow a non linear exponential intensity path with battery size, which of course the cultists want to ignore. .

Lithium batteries
Coming from an administration that wants all government vehicles to be electric by 2035? I think listening to the government is always a mistake. They do not even listen to themselves! I have had an electric cart for over 8 years and have owned a tesla, I would not worry too much and you can stick to the nonflammable gas you use if I were you, you know, the one you use in your combustible engine.

Post #15 seems to want to imply that the recent Wesley Chapel fire was caused by lithium batteries. Nothing in the available reporting on that fire gives any evidence of that. Previous reporting on BMW fires indicates that BMW has had an issue since well before they were using lithium batteries. The recent fire *might* have been caused by the batteries but we don't know that yet.

A lithium battery fire would be a flammable metals fire. It would be interesting to see statistics showing the frequency of fires for gas and electric vehicles: how many engine fires for every 100,000 gasoline engines and how many battery fires for every 100,000 EVs? Does something like that exist? It would also be interesting to see how that number changes over time. Gasoline engines became safer over time and EVs are relatively new. Are they dangerous now but not as dangerous as three years ago or are they generally safe now and getting safer every year?

Reminder to gasoline powered carts. Gasoline can burn.
