A BOY of 15 has been killed in a giant explosion feared to have been triggered by detonating electric car batteries.
At least 163 were also injured following the huge blast in a customs warehouse near Tashkent Airport in Uzbekistan in the early hours, which was felt up to 20 miles away.
Shocking footage shows the explosion at 2.43am local time, which caused damage to hundreds of houses and other buildings over a vast area.
Batteries for electric cars exploded at the airport warehouse, it is understood.
Dozens of ambulances ferried the wounded to hospitals and at least five children suffered wounds from shattered glass.
A 15-year-old boy died after a frame collapsed on his head due to the explosion.
It is unclear how many people were in the warehouse when it exploded.

It wouldn’t take much energy to deform the casing and lithium base and trigger an e.v. battery fire.

I’m starting to wonder if the whole EV push is actually connected more to the depopulation agenda than the fake green energy agenda.

Just wait until the terrorists figure out they don’t need to sneak bombs into airports, they can just drive their EVs up to the garage and park there with no hassles.

This push to implement coal-recharged battery-vehicle technology parallels the implementation of the steam engine. The implementers and their supporters are indifferent to the risk and loss of human life as long as the profits and utilization are gained.
A century and a half of safety requirements are just discarded.

EVs and their batteries have become “assault vehicles”. High capacity batteries must be banned. Nine volt with three AAAs should be the max allowed.

Two thoughts
1) Uzbekistan. Are we sure there was no missile involved?
2) For you “told you so” guys - has there EVER been a gas station explosion? Refinery Explosion? Multi-car accident explosion from Gas? Did that prove gas cars should be outlawed?
