A state-owned public transport operator in Paris, France, the Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens, has pulled out 149 electric buses from its fleet after two of them spontaneously exploded within the same month.
The RATP decided to temporarily retire the electric vehicles after the second explosion occurred around 9 a.m. on April 29 near the François Mitterrand Library, according to reporting from the local newspaper Le Parisien and a RATP news release.
Footage of the bus engulfed in flames in Paris’s 13th arrondissement was widely circulated on social media.
A video by VIXX compiling the viral videos showed smoke emanating from the top of the bus, where the battery is located.

The Achilles Heel of EVs. Makes the old Ford Pintos actually seem safe. Imagine those giant lithium batteries or piles used for storing power for electrical grids going up.

Lithium fires burn until EVERYTHING is gone but steel. Firefighters cannot rescue victims from the fires. It takes upwards of 20,000 gallons of water to put out an electric car fire. A bus is way larger. This technology sucks.

Number two nails it. We DO NOT have the right fire fighting equipment needed to douse lithium battery fires. The EVs are giant lithium batteries with wheels and seats! Remember the phone battery fires on airplanes? They had to put special bags on board the aircraft to help the flight attendants snuff them out inflight.

Lithium batteries are incendiary devices, very dangerous and once the batteries ignite, very difficult to impossible to extinguish, apparently.
GM says don't park your electric bomb in an attached garage. Airlines will not accept shipments of lithium batteries. The damned things are dangerous as heck.

And who got bribed for that contract. This is a known problem with cars so how are companies buying buses or anything else that carries many people. Could you imagine a bus loaded with people. Scary...

If they took the same caution for electric vehicles as required for gas powered vehicles, there would be no electric cars on the highway. These things are fine as long as there is no accident. When an accident occurs they are very dangerous.
Additionally mining lithium from China and Africa using slave labor and children, and open pit mines is evil and very environmentally un-friendly..
If the everyone had been driving electric cars and someone discovered the internal combustion engine the environmentalist would be talking how safe, efficient the new car is. How the fuel is natural and not causing the environmental damage that lithium does.

There was some guy who was collecting worn out lithium batteries (the DO die) with the idea of recycling them. He had rented an old factory or warehouse, fortunately in the countryside, not near other buildings, and had a huge stack of these lithium batteries. Not being charged, not doing ANYTHING except sitting there.....and then they lit off. I don't think they quire explode, but some have reported phone batteries kind of exploding.
In any case, the fire department had great difficulty, perhaps even entirely failed, I don't remember for sures, at putting out the huge fire which resulted. Let me see if I can find a news story on it.
Well, here's one that came up. EVs on a ship...burnt the whole ship.

If you want to have some fun......do a search on " lithium batteries fires" in "news".....I used Bing
Dozens of different stories of places burning down due to lithium batteries. These damned things should be outlawed as too dangerous.

Lithium reacts with water to make fire so you can't put the fires out with water. Almost any source of Oxygen will do but water is double good because it also provides Hydrogen that adds to the fire. Last week a local school board was showing off their new eBuses before this video came out and I thought sure hope it doesn't go up with kids in it.

Within the past few weeks I have seen a video of a bus burning, pretty sure it was one of these or one like it. I have never seen so may sparks in such a large area before. They were cascading down like big 4th of July fireworks.

Cammy and Dementia Joe can’t wait to have all electric school buses so we can witness this with a bus load of elementary students going up in flames. They will ignore this because it does not feed their Marxist mantra.

Let’s see a governor or state legislature ban electric vehicles.

Isn’t D.C. going all in on electric busses? This may have a happy ending.

Be sure you get your 4th Covid booster before riding one of these EV's.
