Sad to see - driving EQE and love it. Comfortable and great on long distance, like the look as well. Hope they get their act together.
-
Funny how only certain brands get reported on having technical issues, because the other brands don't have any problems because their EVs are perfect, right?
-
Benz is one of the worst companies for customer support, even for their petrol/diesel vehicles. I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.
-
They CAN be hard to extinguish...?😂🤣 Your spin is on another level.
-
3 prong quality seems to have dropped while pricing has increased and depreciation is outrageous, especially on the ev’s .

A few years ago I was working in a 3rd floor office, I looked out of the window and saw a mini on a car park (1970's car) on fire, it belonged to a colleague who was horrified. The fire service arrived about 10 minutes later, by which time the five cars around the mini were also well alight. There was no obvious cause, but the Fire people said most likely an electrical fault.

Cheers mate
-
LFP only I think!
-
Morning mate
-
If my memory serves me correctly, a big study of US accident rates suggested one EV fire for each 11 ICE car fires...
-
Before your electricity bill gets nothing your PV system has to go through the amortization time...which should take about 3 years.
-
The beginning of the end for German auto makers.
-
We need government mandates against EV fires!
-
Wow China actually has consumer protection.
-
Moral of the story: only buy cars with CATL or BYD batteries
-
A plugin hybrid is not "essentially an electric car" (3:33) ... it's essentially an ICE car with an alibi electric motor.
-
The real issue is cylindrical vs pack. Pack is not good. They catch fire. Remember the cell phones? Pack. Bolt? Pack. Almost every time, no matter the product, pack catches fire. Mercedes EQS, Pack. Found the problem. You can make the pack battery LFP to make it safe, but when you do, you add 20% to the weight of the battery. EQS is already heavy with a 118kWh battery. Imagine having a Mercedes EQS that weighs more than 8,000lbs!?
-
BTW sammy it isn't smoke coming from the merc it's toxic flammable gas therefore the ensuring gas explosion you can see in footage classic scene of thermal runaway gas first then the explosion and fire
-
I think the Electric Viking should make a video where he compares auto brand by brand and the number of burning cars, including ICE cars. I think the result would be very interesting. But I doubt it, this channel is not about transparency and reporting news based on data.
