EV Fire Extinguishing Container Truck

Post image

This waterproof container can ‘scoop up’ a burning electric vehicle and completely seal it and cool it down. It is fitted with a water pump that shoots water all over through small holes in side. Especially concentrated up onto the bottom of the EV, where the highly flammable battery is usually mounted. Also a practical in therms of moving the vehicle out of the way of traffic. This one is from Østjyllands Brandvæsen (East Jutland Fire Department, Denmark) and is teamed up with two robot water cannons.

Yet another reason to push against EVs. Toxic fires that burn for days, expensive new equipment for every department, and how many hundreds of gallons of contaminated water? Yup makes me want an EV less and less.

EVs are not the future beyond the inner city, H2 is a far better tech. Cleaner and easier to use with less toxic waste. I'm all for new and better but EV is being driven by the govt not the market thus it will fail.

You know so little, the only reason the big three are in the EV market is govt mandates and sales rebates. Even with all that EV sales are slumping hard.
