And There I was at the Charging Station

What EV has a propane tank? Doesn't look like the run-of-the-mill grill tank.

Edit: what propane powered car refills from the hood?

I didn't think anything is more dangerous or environmentally detrimental than owning an EV .

F'ing right.

Don't know if this is still the case, but new a guy who's car ran off propane while he was stationed over in Italy. I'm guessing mid 80s.

You can make just about any carbureted(sp?) engine run on propane. That was a popular modification in the old Toyota (84 and older) rock crawler groups.

To answer your question, the propane tank exploded. The guy that was hit, died on the spot.

In this clearer image, you can see that the unfortunate victim was just walking back and forth, talking on his cell phone, before the explosion, and he went out like a light when that flying object hit him in the head. Of course, he could not have known, but if he had just stayed put, or moved back into the tunnel, he would have been unharmed. Poor guy! Is that an electrical charging station or a propane-loading one? If it is electrical, why was the vehicle carrying a propane tank? Or is that a backup power source?

i watched the clip slowed down and it looks like he may have broken his neck. tank hit him in roughly the chest then he flipped in the air and landed basically on his head / neck. maybe that checked him out and he did not lay on the ground and suffer. ?

I watched it again several times. He was definitely out cold on the ground from the impact, first with the object, then with his head against the ground. Maybe a broken skull and/or neck. Terrible way to go, but at least the poor guy did not linger on the ground afterward.

Probably a propane backup generator ,LOL.

I do feel bad cause I laughed. Not because of the injury, just the fact he avoided this explosion only for that object to bounce back and nail him... That's my level of bad luck.

This person lived right? That was a gnarly impact to their torso.

Yeah same here. I laughed only because it looked like something you'd see in a cartoon.
The guys safely separated by a solid wall but then gets hit by by debris bouncing back at him from a fr wall. The screen shot image of him up in the air with arms and legs splayed out looked comical.
Hopefully, he's OK. Looks like it hit him broadside and just scared the bejeesus out of him.

Edit...yikes, I didn't realize he died

From the looks of things I wonder if that was a LP tank instead?! Why you ask? Well when installed they are round. Battery packs are usually more squared off

would have expected more flames from an LP tank failure.

Guessing this truck was fueled by CNG from the way the flames were acting. Lot of garbage trucks are these days.

Can't stop now....

Be interesting to know if those buses were manufactured by BYD. They are big into buses as well.

Vehicle runs off of propane.

Hey Phil I tried to message you directly but said I couldn't start a conversation. But anyways here was my message.

I have been trying to get a window sheet based on my VIN. But the Ford dealers and group here in the Philippines are clueless. Wondering if you have connections or ability to find that for me?

Exactly the reason he does 't accept PMs.

Phil unblocked me a while back , trick is to lead with "tortoise praise" and a lot of "back in the day" stuff , we've been pretty PM chatty ever since ... (It still be April fool you see)

 

[JimInVA]

That guy had bad luck.
