“Lithium oxide forms along with small amounts of lithium peroxide when lithium metal is burned in the air at and combines with oxygen at temperatures above 100 °C:[3]”

Should not surprise anyone, it happens everyday in China. But the dummies pushing EVs don’t want us to know how dangerous those batteries are.

They will wait until this story fades into nothing, then they’ll tell the truth that it was indeed the batteries. Because the agenda always wins.
