According to the video, ICE cars are shipped with nearly empty fuel tanks. Can't do that with EVs.

If there is a frequent fire, the shipping line will reject it. Insuarnce will be sky high or won't be accepted.

Unless the EV manufacturing improves the safety.

This bloody manufacturing is killing the EV tech.

No worries, if other lines refuse to EV, we at BYD have already build our own carrier to prove to the world how safe shipping EV truly is.

Actually there is, just that we think it's better not to release such news to the public. If the public views EV in negative light, susah la want to sell EV. So must prevent such news from gaining traction.

Japantimes sudah start tembak liao. I'm going to make educated guess that current firefighting systems on shipping vessels are not designed to deal with EV fires. Doesn't matter whether ICE car or EV started the fire, if the fire spreads and the EVs catch fire, then this is the result - fire cannot be put out and the ship has to be abandoned.

QUOTE
Fires involving EVs are often harder to extinguish and more dangerous to fight. The conditions of a tightly packed car-carrying cargo ship lead to limited ventilation, which can rapidly intensify heat. The confined, steel-lined environment makes fire suppression and rescues significantly more dangerous.

Additionally, when an electric vehicle burns, it does so for longer and the fire gets hotter. The flames can end up accelerating through chain reactions and spiraling out of control quickly, a process called thermal runaway. EV fires can take up to 30,000 liters of water to cool the lithium-ion batteries.

In 2022, a vessel carrying about 4,000 vehicles caught fire in the Atlantic and ended up sinking despite efforts to tow it to safety. A year later, another ship with close to 3,000 cars on board caught fire near the Dutch coast.

Shipowners have taken steps to try to manage the safety risks involved in hauling electric vehicles. Last year, a key safety group published guidelines on how to deal with fires on board the vessels.

Yalor. BYD cut price until so aggressive, how to sell? Just burn it down and collect insurance better.
