This guy’s channel is half decent, ppl hate when I post the videos in electric vehicle comms because they’re incapable of nuance, but I’ve been following him for a while and he’s not anti electrification at all, he’s just dedicated to posting about the problems which have not (in his view) inspired sufficient regulation and/or preparation yet. He’s also looked into various battery chemistries and talked to people who do all sorts of independent lab testing, etc.
The sad fact is, because of how capitalism works, in the USA we are going to need to have a grisly mass casualty event or three before some of the more problematic rare failure conditions of slapping high energy density batteries everywhere and YOLOing it are properly dealt with by regulations. The video he posted this week about tests of scooter, ebike, and sit-down scooter battery fires in a rail car was concerning.

That’s why we have passed sweeping gun control regulation at the federal level right?
…maybe the missing element is that grisly gun-based mass casualty events don’t usually char the corpses and require dental record or DNA matching?
though tbh in the current timeline I wouldn’t be surprised to see a sit-down scooter torch 80 people in a NYC subway car at rush hour and lead to no real action. 🤷
Uvalde, Vegas, Sandy Hook, Columbine, Virginia Tech, just the worst ones off the top of my head and Elon currently has the ear of every major regulatory body that could hold him to account. I highly doubt Americans let alone the fascist US government cares at all about mass death enough to do anything meaningful about it. America is not a country it is a genocidal fascist death cult.

Yeah, I don’t see a mass casualty event moving the needle at all.
