A vehicle carrier transporting hundreds of Chinese electric vehicles (EV) sank in the Pacific Ocean after catching fire, fueling renewed concerns about the hazard associated with EV batteries, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The Morning Midas was carrying approximately 3,000 cars, including around 800 EVs, most of which were manufactured in China, according to the WSJ. While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, lithium-ion batteries used in many EVs are known to be highly flammable, and have been linked to similar maritime incidents in the past.
The ship had been drifting in the ocean after a fire broke out on June 3, prompting the crew to abandon the vessel. At the time of the incident, the vessel was en route to Mexico. more
So many things that China touches turns to shit.
I’m going to catch a lot of flack for this but this fire happened days if not weeks ago. someone did a deep dive on the cause of the fire and it wasn’t from the cargo. the article says that there was once a fire on a ship caused by ev’s ergo this fire was too. these articles are written for click bait views and are about as reliable as the ones on big foot
“So many things that China touches turns to shit.”
Stop and think, have you ever seen the Chinese flex their military muscle the way we just did? No. You no why? Their shit doesn’t work. All bark, no bite.
I’d have preferred that the ChiComs not built those cars, but since they did I can’t really think of a better destination than the bottom of the sea (it’s a shame about the ship, though). All the nasty stuff will gradually dissolve over time and be diluted to almost nothing. It seems to me much better than dumping the debris into some landfill somewhere. And CERTAINLY much better than to sell them to suckers who will drive them on OUR roadways.
^^^^ If you can send a spy balloon across the United States what’s the point?

I woulda thought those cars were on the way to Bruce and Sheila; they love them some Chinese cars.

That fuker just put out more pollution than all the cars made since 1975!
Good thing we’re getting off oil, huh!
Harry, just keep rinsing out the catfood cans before you put them in the recycle bin.
Meanwhile….I’ll take an order of General Tsao’s chicken and some potstickers….I met the General once. His wife smelled nice.
