Alternative energy is exploding─literally. Lithium battery fires are breaking out on highways and in factories, home garages, and storage rooms. The rise in battery fires is amplified by government efforts to force adoption of electric vehicles and grid-scale batteries for electric power.
The rise in battery fires is amplified by government efforts to force adoption of electric vehicles and grid-scale batteries for electric power.
E-bike battery fires are now the leading cause of fires in New York City, with 216 fires last year.
Lithium batteries for cars and trucks are 10,000 times as large as phone batteries.
The same plant also reportedly suffered three other battery fires in the last year and three more fires in 2021-2022.
How are governments responding to the rash of lithium battery fires? They are doubling down, promoting the use of even larger, grid-scale lithium batteries as part of efforts to transition from coal, oil, and natural gas to wind and solar energy.
The number of grid battery fires is growing, and grid batteries are hundreds of times larger than EV batteries.
If government leaders continue to push lithium batteries and the green energy transition, battery fires will soon be coming to a location near you.
