After Luton – Why car parks will eventually BAN all EVs | MGUY Australia

This is correct but the insurance companys take all the risk.Manufacturers make the unsafe electric cars and pass the risk to the insurance companys.Carpark owners let the electric cars park there and the risk is once again passed to the insurance companys.The result will be much higher costs for insurance which will be passed down to the consumer so the whole public will pay.The carpark owner will get a brand new carpark built and would possibly have income insurance to cover wages etc so they would possibly be better off.
If the building owners were responsible for damages like this and cant pass it on to the insurance companys then i can see them changing but as long as the cost can be passed on i cant see many companys changing.

Even of all the measures that you have mentioned for unground high-rise building carparks, if an EV catches fire the temperature and the duration of the fire, not to mention the toxic fumes in an enclosed space, a high-rise building might still catch fire and burn to the ground.
The EV fires and the safety procedures goes against all the Green and safety concerns that unions and governments have been lecturing us for the best part of four decades.
I think that the EV 'religion', the 'zero-carbon' messages and the virtue signalling is now so intense (particularly from the Labor party and the Greens), that a few high-rise buildings need to burn to the ground first before it will dawn on Labor politicians that we have a problem that cannot be solved with half-baked risk mitigating actions but rather avoid the problem in the first place.

Apart from the space requirements, Melbourne CBD space is very tight, the costs of maintaining infrastructure and carparks are high and for this reason I don't think that people who don't own EVs would want to pay the extra costs for people who do.

Finally, even if it were possible to solve the fire issues, the entire electrical systems, switchboards, street transformers and cabling would need to be re-dimensioned to cover for the MW of extra charging load.
Considering that the average city unit uses very little electricity, charging EVs in large numbers might well mean that the entire electrical system needs to be increased in capacity by many thousands of percent.

No, no no. These politicians HAVE thought EV's through.
They just don't care about the consequences, which a whole bunch of your taxpayer dollars will be lost and increased cost of living.
Why? To change the country and enact their Marxist agenda.

The recommended space between a damaged EV and other vehicles and structures is 15 metres

Governments are pushing EVs because this brings votes from the environmentalists. There is the huge part about the oil industry being over 100 years old and aggressive growth like in the past decades is over. The wealthy corporations are putting in huge amounts of money in to the rare earth metals, and EV battery manufacturing. This is a very new market with a lot of room for growth.

We are being lied to about the cause of global weather change. The planet goes through long term weather changes caused by the long term cycles on the Sun. The last ice age has been finishing up about 100,000 years ago and the planet is still in the warming trend. If we look back about a million years ago the polar regions of the planet were having tropical weather. This planet is moving back to that type of era. Scientists exploring the polar regions of the planet for pre-historic life have been digging up fossils of ancient tropical plants and tropical type animals. About 100 million years ago the average temperature of the planet at the equator was in the range of 50 Celsius to 60 Celsius. The weather trend is now moving toward the up cycle for temperature.

I got an ideal name for EV parking lots, how about Barbeque Pit.

Can't wait to hear the comments from birdbrain Bowen regarding this problem , should be entertaining 😂

And like we didn't have enough to worry about. Now it's where the next ev fire will be and can we get away from it if it happens

Persuaded by our Government leaders to buy EV's. All because the had shares in EV's any MP with shares in EV’s should be made to retire without a pension. How do we deal with the now polluted water, everything we do to eliminate the EV problem will go into the pocket of the shareholders.

I’ve wanted an EV for 25 years. Now that they are here I can’t afford one and the problems are a deal breaker.

Fuck I came to a lot of the same conclusions that you came to about all these facts 6 months ago, then I found your videos, it's about time somebody reported all of this EV madness. What puzzles me is how fucking stupid the people are that are pushing this rubbish and how stupid the manufacturers are. On paper, EV's are simply not viable, but still they push them. They'd make good boat anchors but then as soon as the water got into the batteries they'd explode. Petrol cars will only be replaced by hydrogen or some other fossil fuel if they are ever replaced at all.

It’s all very new risk. Insurers, and Lloyds, will soon be sorting out what to do about it.
Meanwhile, I have requested a local EV driver not to park near to my Volvo diesel wagon and he has responded by asking me not to park near his EV because ICE vehicles are statistically 100 times more likely to be on fire! 🔥I think he is deluded!
One EV thermal runaway in a multi-storey car park makes it into a war zone. Dealing with such a fire is impossible.
Arup are the worldwide consulting engineers of impeccable credibility. Thank you for the summary, that’s great news.

Jeez. Imagine underground car packs lighting up with EVs and then the business structure above it ALSO catches fire and it can't be put out because the bottom is thermal runaway powering the blaze…

fine job.

Instead of banning electric cars in car parks they will probably start installing charging stations in the car parks. Where electric cars are concerned common sense and pubic safety are out the window.

The fire was started by a diesel car at the latest report.
