Could hurricane-damaged EVs be the cause? In this video, I analyze the incident, show the devastating aftermath, and explain how lithium-ion battery failures can lead to such catastrophic events.

Book Training Today https://www.stachedtraining.com Florida has seen a dramatic increase in lithium-ion battery incidents during hurricanes, starting with Hurricane Ian in 2022 and continuing with Helene and Milton in 2024. In this interview, I speak with Florida's Chief Rice, Director of the Division of State Fire Marshal, about the challenges posed by electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries during severe weather events. We also discuss the state's efforts to raise awareness through their annual lithium-ion battery symposiums and how these initiatives aim to improve safety for first responders and communities.

Learning about the 1917 Owen Magnetic Car's Legacy at Tampa Bay Auto Museum Welcome to the Tampa Bay Auto Museum, where history comes alive through a remarkable collection of classic cars. Today, we take you on a journey to uncover the fascinating story behind a true gem of automotive history – the 1917 Owen Magnetic Car. Today, we’re diving into a piece of automotive history that's bound to blow your minds—the 1917 Owen Magnetic! This car was way ahead of its time, merging electric and gasoline power in a way that feels shockingly futuristic. Buckle up, because this hybrid marvel is going to take you on an unforgettable journey! Now, let's get to the juicy stuff. The sole purpose of the Owen Magnetic’s design was to use the gasoline engine to drive a generator that created electricity. And that electricity, my friends, was what propelled the rear wheels. I know, right? Who would have thought! But someone did—Justice Entz did. He was working for the legendary Thomas Edison. So, Justice Entz designed this incredible generator while employed by none other than Thomas Edison. It's almost like a superhero origin story, right? This groundbreaking work led to the creation of technology that was licensed to Baker Electrics and later sub-licensed to RM Owen. In the early days of the automobile, inventors were trying out all kinds of propulsion methods, hunting for that ‘magic laser’ of the automobile world. Electric cars in the early 1900s were quite common, and the Owen Magnetic was part of this exciting experimentation period. But over time, we forget. We forget that nothing is truly new. Today’s cutting-edge hybrids are all building on principles laid down way back in 1917. It may be more advanced today, but it's essentially the same concept. And why did the internal combustion engine win out back then? Gas was unbelievably cheap—it was practically a byproduct! Back in the early 1900s, gasoline was abundant and dirt cheap. So naturally, the internal combustion engine became the dominant technology. But let’s not forget the incredible innovation that vehicles like the Owen Magnetic brought into the world! ❤️ LOVE this Video? Click “$ Thanks” to show your SUPPORT.

Is It Worth Fixing An EV After One Breakdown? Owners Paying Out Of Pocket Say No Here's Why! Many EV owners are finding themselves with expensive headaches. The EV companies made many claims about EVs being low maintenance, with easy battery swaps, and no hidden cost repairs. Many EV owners are claiming otherwise as Electric cars are not only less reliable , but also have expensive repair cost. EVs once seen as the future of our transportation with the general population, is now coming under fire with broken EVs being sent straight to Junkyards. In our video we will breakdown for you the reasons EV owners are say No to expensive maintenance and the one optimism that once surrounded the EV industry has faded.

Ford’s electric vehicle unit reported that losses soared in the first quarter to $1.3 billion, or $132,000 for each of the 10,000 vehicles it sold in the first three months of the year, helping to drag down earnings for the company overall. Ford, like most automakers, has announced plans to shift from traditional gas-powered vehicles to EVs in coming years. But it is the only traditional automaker to break out results of its retail EV sales. And the results it reported Wednesday show another sign of the profit pressures on the EV business at Ford and other automakers. The EV unit, which Ford calls Model e, sold 10,000 vehicles in the quarter, down 20% from the number it sold a year earlier. And its revenue plunged 84% to about $100 million, which Ford attributed mostly to price cuts for EVs across the industry. That resulted in the $1.3 billion loss before interest and taxes (EBIT), and the massive per-vehicle loss in the Model e unit. The losses go far beyond the cost of building and selling those 10,000 cars, according to Ford. Instead the losses include hundreds of millions being spent on research and development of the next generation of EVs for Ford. Those investments are years away from paying off. And that means this is not the end of the losses in the unit - Ford said it expects Model e will have EBIT losses of $5 billion for the full year. The company said it is its “intention” to be have EV pricing cover the actual costs of building each EV, rather than covering all the research and development costs, within the next 12 months. But a price war among EVs for about a year and a half has made even that measure of profitability very difficult said Ford CFO John Lawler. He said while Ford has removed about $5,000 in cost on each Mustang Mach-E, “revenue is dropping faster than we can take out the cost.” In 2023, Ford Model e reported a full-year EBIT loss of $4.7 billion on sales of 116,000 EVs, or an average of $40,525 per vehicle, just more than a third of the first quarter loss. Model e doesn’t handle all of the company’s electric vehicle sales. Some are also sold in its Ford Pro unit, which handles fleet sales to businesses and government buyers. And Ford said it had strong demands for electric vehicle sales in that unit, including an order for 9,250 E-Transit vans from the US Postal Service, which are to be delivered through the end of this year, and an order for more than 1,000 of its F-150 Lightning pickups and Mustang Mach-E SUVs from Ecolab, a global sustainability company. Despite the EV losses, Ford CEO Jim Farley said in a call with investors the company is making changes in its EV business, and that the company’s planned next generation of EVs will allow it to be profitable on that business in the near future. Ford Pro, which primarily sells traditional internal combustion vehicles, was the primary profit driver for Ford in the quarter, posting EBIT of $3 billion, or more than double what it made a year ago, as revenue from the unit rose 36% to $18 billion. The number of vehicles sold by Ford Pro was up 21% to 409,000. But Ford Blue, which handles sales of gasoline-powered cars to consumers, reported that sales fell 11% to 626,000, and revenue dropped 13% to $21 billion. That resulted in EBIT in those traditional sales falling by nearly two-thirds to $905 million. Together Ford Blue and Ford Pro produced roughly the same level of profits as a year earlier, but the increased losses at the Model e unit meant that Ford’s overall net income fell 20% to $1.3 billion, while its adjusted earnings per share fell to 49 cents, down 21% from a year earlier, but slightly better than analyst forecasts of 44 cents a share. Ford rival General Motors reported earlier this week that it remains on track to have its North American EV business turn profitable in the second half of this year, while Stellantis, which makes cars and trucks in North America under the Jeep, Ram, Dodge and Chrysler brands, said its European EV business was already profitable last year. https://quotes.everymandriver.com/ - Get matched for FREE in seconds with the right vehicle, at the right price and at the right dealer.

I met up with Lee aka The MacMaster for some lunch, which meant using the public charging network. You won't believe the maths of this one...! What's cheaper, a 1994 Volvo 850 T5 Turbo Saloon or a 2020 Porsche Taycan 'Save The Planet' Electric Battery Vehicle? You'd think the Taycan should run on nothing but cow farts and windmills, so it would cost 50p to fill the tank and wipe the floor with the old Volvo eh? Well, not so much. #EV #Cars #Volvo #ElectricCars
