Incidentally, this car is called Cao Cao 60, a brand under Geely..😝

Na that's the latest Nio quick swap OTG station being advertised.

What always puzzles me is the single shoe lying in the central reservation.

A crisis situation is unfolding in the California desert. Thousands of people headed to Las Vegas have been stuck on the I-40 for many hours, running out of gas and water. This is all due to the lithium battery truck fire that closed down I-15 yesterday.

E-bike lithium battery explodes in lift just as the doors close. Terrible.

You know, there's going to be a case in the future where a car or bus full of people are trapped inside somehow, and the lithium battery goes off, breaching the interior and quickly overwhelming them with the toxic fumes, before cooking them beyond recognition. It's bound to happen. Remember when Volvo promised no one will die or be seriously injured in their cars? Yeah, that's no good if you get taken out by the car itself.

It’s almost as though no one has told these people that petrol/diesel cars can actually catch fire too…!

When they find out that electric cars are significantly less likely to catch fire than petrol/diesel then it’s going to blow their minds 😂

You can lead a horse to water but if he won't drink he won't drink & he shall surely perish in the heat.

The XC40 story never made it prime time did it Bags? I wonder who squashed that one down.

When a bus goes up nobody is getting out in time as there's most likely 500kwh's sitting under the passengers, a typical high powered vape pen uses 5000mah parallel or in series i.e 2x 2500mah cells & we've all seen what happens when one of those goes off it's heed.

Also in the news certain Chinese EV's suffering quality issues including a snapped chassis rail, confidence inspiring eh.


Ah well, if they won't listen they can enjoy their own demise I guess.
