Mercedes EV Bursts Into Flames In Parking Lot, Injuring 21 People And Damaging 70 Cars

No meaningful mass market availability until 2028 and beyond

Initial production will be very limited but it will be ramped up through 2027 and 2028, although there could still be setbacks that postpone it again. However, actual mass production is planned for “2030 and beyond,” according to a post on Toyota Times.

In a recent press release published by Toyota, the manufacturer says it will begin solid-state battery production “starting from 2026” and that this will be “gradually implemented.” With its next-generation performance battery (which will be built by two third parties for Toyota), it wants to reach an annual production target of 9 gigawatt-hours, although this combined figure will be achieved over time.

The executive vice president of SAIC, MG’s parent company, stated that the automaker will begin introducing solid state battery (SSB) technology into its line-up as early as next year.

Speaking at the Chengdu motor show last week, Yu Jingmin discussed a new solid state battery technology that has been developed in-house and is planned to be introduced to numerous upcoming EV models from SAIC brands, including premium offering IM and the more affordable Wuling volume brands in China.


If successful, the introduction of SSBs will occur a full 12 months before the company’s original timelines, putting MG, as well as the other previously mentioned brands, well ahead of the competition.

Should have got a Tesla they're far less likely to catch fire.

going by the # of events, you're incorrect. This is the sole example of a Mercedes EV igniting. Tesla on the other hand has 44 well-documented cases and goodness how many undocumented ones.

Not charging, not being driven and still flammable :


EV's with highly stressed lithium-ion batteries should be banned from sensitive places as per the Korea example above. Thermal runaway is a real issue with them.

Tesla is only afloat because of Musk - Trump's brother from another mother. No surprise that the boss of this forum is totally in love with these two fatuous and fallacious father figures.

In the context of the Western world, BEV's are a fucking rich person's toy or a virtue signaller's (usually an incel) flag.

Anyone with a reasonable understanding of physics and engineering would understand that BEVs are a fool's errand in countries with real highway speeds with the current available technology.

The total reason for BEV adoption is twofold :

(1) Government incentives

Not only are BEVs subsidized heavily, gas car makers are heavily penalized for every gas car they sell. Tesla is the prime beneficiary for this. For a long time, most of Tesla's profits were derived from carbon credits. Meaning that for every vehicle Ford, GM or then Chrysler sold, they had to pay Tesla a few thousand dollars for the privilege. It didn't matter that the Tesla was garbage. All that mattered was that for every EV they produced, loss or no, they got to claim even more money from the other companies. The received amount was so significant, that it dwarfed their operational losses from making and selling BEVs

(2) Cool factor

Losers and incels by the boatload bought them to improve their social credibility. Some of these people are outwardly successful (even getting laid very often!) but are inwardly the very definition of an incel. That's why the Tesla brand is important to them. It brings them some measure of belonging and happiness. As it would with joining any church, mosque or temple. All the other EV companies are sad trying to imitate Tesla because they have the market cornered on sad, lonely people. And the reason for that is that the boss himself is a prime exemplar of successful yet sad and lonely. He understands his target market as he understands himself.

You cannot go by number of events you have to view the data based upon percentages.

Electric car fires are very rare. They might stem from a fault or crash, but no official crash test ever caused one. EVs are extensively developed and subject to the discipline of recalls. Electric scooter fires are far more common since they’re mostly uncertified – because they’re illegal.

The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) reported 23 fires in 611,000 EVs during 2022, or 0.004 per cent in a year, which makes it 20 times less likely to happen than ICE car fires, which burned 3,400 times in 4.4 million cars, or 0.08 per cent. MSB has also recently proven a new way to extinguish battery fires fast.

Our politicians still want to push for EV business.

Rare or not, everyone has only 1 life including you & your loved ones.
