the headline was click bait like many are.
The story still challenged many of of myths of EV tech The story also explains how those with an EV usually charge them overnight every day whereas most folks with petro fuels don't drive around with full tanks Last edited by cyber16; 01-27-2022 at 08:11 AM. |

Plus, everybody can huddle around the EVs to stay warm when their battery banks spontaneously catch fire.

links to the studies and date within the page LiFePO4 does not suffer the same thermo runaway that other lithium types have. Therefore spontaneously catching fire are very slim chances of happening unintentional CO poisoning is also something to look at Last edited by cyber16; 01-27-2022 at 09:33 AM. |

Well dang. Then I can see no benefit to having an EV while stranded in a snowstorm.

I have little fear of using LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE
This was a gaylord of just over 1800 lbs of strike master auger batteries. The vast majority was the 50v packs utilizing DAKOTA LITHIUM IRON PHOSPHATE 26650 cells. There were several of the 40v 5ah packs mixed in. I have done extensive testing not only to cell resiliency/capacity as well as intentional abuse to test over-charge & over discharge safety. It was in preparation of a diy power wall energy storage cabinet project. I have a few variable test bench power supplies. Not once did I get one of these LiFePO4 cells to burst into flames. Simply put, after my abuse just having fun with some of the cells, I have little to no concerns of LiFePO4 safety |
