According to press reports, 3,783 vehicles are on the Fremantle Highway, of which 498 are electric vehicles.

According to Allianz’s annual Maritime Safety Report: One of the main hazards of Li-ion batteries is ‘thermal runaway’, a rapid self-heating fire that can cause an explosion. The main causes of Li-ion fires are substandard manufacturing or damaged battery cells or devices, over-charging and short-circuiting. Fires in EVs with Li-ion batteries are difficult to extinguish and capable of spontaneously reigniting. Source.

Just as with the plandemic, not everyone who was vaccinated felt the effects of this experiment, and in the case of the electric cars, not all of them exploded. Statistics show that out of 100,000 electric cars, only 25 will ignite, compared to 1,530 for internal combustion engine cars. Source: Telegram 7/3/2023 12:25. This would benefit electricians if it weren’t for the great difficulty of putting out exploding lithium batteries. In vehicles with a combustion engine, a standard powder extinguisher is sufficient to prevent a fire.

To understand why lithium batteries explode, I present again a video of an experiment showing what happens when we treat a lithium battery foil with water. I shared this video in the Electric cars article.
