Reply to comment by XonikzD in Fires from exploding e-bike batteries multiply in NYC — sometimes fatally by zsreport

Batteries don’t explode, they just burn and accurate in burning. It’s not exciting as a good old fashioned gasoline explosion with its sudden release of energy.

I keep that in mind every time I see video of EVs exploding. The explosion videos always turn out to be effects production heavy.

I won’t deny that lithium battery failures are interesting to watch. They flare up and the very hot flame consumes everything it touches.

Gasoline fires in the movies they use so many cheats though, a real car fire (see them here on the highway sometimes) is just a kinda violent big fire.
