Hurricane Idalia Aftermath: Saltwater Exposure Causes 'Thermal Runaway' In Flooded Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicles flooded by a storm surge produced by Hurricane Idalia have spontaneously ignited in the Big Bend area. This underscores a lesser-known safety concern for the thousands of Americans who recently purchased EVs and reside in coastal regions vulnerable to flooding. 

In the aftermath of the storm, fire officials in Pinellas County, west of Tampa, reported at least two incidents of EVs combusting after lithium-ion batteries were exposed to the saltwater. 

"If you own a hybrid or electric vehicle that has come into contact with saltwater due to recent flooding within the last 24 hours, it is crucial to relocate the vehicle from your garage without delay," a Facebook post by Palm Harbor Fire Rescue reads. 

"Saltwater exposure can trigger combustion in lithium-ion batteries. If possible, transfer your vehicle to higher ground," the post continued. 

It also said, "This includes golf carts and electric scooters. Don't drive these through water. PHFR crews have seen numerous residents out in golf carts and children on scooters riding through water." 

Fire officials posted multiple images of a Tesla fire in Dunedin. 

Video taken by James McLynas shows another burnt-out Tesla in Pinellas Park. 

"Hurricane flooded Tesla Bursts into flames while being towed to the storage lot. Driver picked up the flood damaged Tesla from a storm damaged home and was towing it back when it burst into flames. Driver stopped on a street and quickly off loaded the burning car to save his truck. (that's why there are burnt tow dollies under it). When the fire department arrived, they put it out, but it kept reigniting. After several attempts to put it out, they just let it burn out. This was all that was left," McLynas wrote in his post on YouTube.

The issue with EV battery packs is that saltwater corrodes wiring and battery components, often leading to shorts or exposed wiring. And then thermal runaway ignites the battery -- very few fire departments nationwide are trained in lithium fires. 

This problem isn't limited to Tesla EVs.

Biden Admin To Provide "Up To $12 Billion" To Retrofit Auto Plants To Produce EVs (Which Keep Catching Fire, Need Coal And Cobalt which are destroying nature, streams, involve unethical chiId-labor in poor countries, can be digitally controlled by State and turned off if they want to, batteries can never be recycled/destroyed & forever to pollute nature, can also not be used during power outages, like the millions of people currently without power due to heavy rain, hurricanes, fires etc)

It was announced on Thursday that the Biden administration would be making "up to $12 billion" available to retrofit facilities to make both EVs and hybrids.

The money will include $10 billion from a US Energy Department loan program for clean vehicles and an additional $3.5 billion in financing to expand domestic battery manufacturing, according to Bloomberg. 

The United Auto Workers, currently in negotiations with Detroit, has argued that a shift to EVs will cost the industry union jobs. US Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said on Thursday that the funding would help Detroit retain workers.

However, we've seen this "bailout" business model to save jobs before - at banks and during Covid, to name two examples - and it always winds up turning into a company cash grab before ultimately firing workers regardless.

These demons are not curing "dis-ease" (which they themselves single-handedly created with their toxic injections and pharma products, toxic environments, GMO crops, toxic every day products and food), they are changing and destroying human DNA, because they hate God and their God is satan.
They're also busy destroying all DNA in nature, created by the Creator.
Did you know that there's a code in our DNA which reads: "God Is Eternal In The Body"? The God gene.
They really hate that.
