Do what? Paint them, they do. They do not do zinc coatings in the automotive space.

Lol
Of all the examples to pick. You picked an ipace.
Sorry to **** on the parade
But it's worth noting that GWM is now recalling its Ora vehicles. Why? Because due to a design flaw there is a chance the driver gets electrocuted with a high voltage current everytime they pull out the charging cable from the car and if you happened to be using a huge fast charger your remains won't even be recognisable

Did you actually read the original source for this ‘news’ before posting this bile?
It’s fixed via a software update which for whatever reason can’t be done over the air.
I’m not even sure how one could remove the charging cable without stopping the charge first anyway as the cable should be locked to the car. You basically have to rip the cable out of the car (probably breaking it in the process) for it to be a problem. Some might say that’s a good thing given it’s only people who seem to think it’s funny to try and rip charging cables out of cars who would do that.
Given it’s not an immediate stop sale, it’s very low risk.
Driving any car will be considerably higher risk and probably the riskiest thing you do in a given month and you wouldn’t even bat an eyelid.

What about the asbestos in the cars and the failing brakes, is that also a software update?

Heres one for you, maybe the software doesnt implement the said locking criteria well enough to allow 'cable should be locked'. Large sensitivity to the word should there...
The controller for the locking mech doesnt have software thats updateable over the air through the telematics module so it needs a physical hardwire connectiion to the diagnosis and firmware update systems.
Hows that for critical thinking.
Pope bodge it to the rescue.

Why are you defending that low effort post which isn’t based on reality? Bizarre.
It wasn’t suggesting the issue didn’t need to be fixed, it clearly does.
It was a rebuttal of the bile that was paired alongside it like it’s some kind of fatal flaw that will kill you the moment you unplug the charging cable. It’s clearly not such a critical issue that is high risk.

Not defending just keeping it objective fact. You were the one who posted the guy to some critical thinking not me.
No smoke without fire. To be fair the safety system on the PP pin means the charger disconnects power without the car having to do anything anyway.
Ill have a go anyway at the science quoted here though.
Slow AC chargers with a common earth ground are frankly more dangerous than the isolated DC charging regardless of the speed.

At no point did I say it wasn’t a problem that needed fixing.
I didn’t watch the video either, I searched for the original source E.g. the recall notice which sets out the actual issue which is fairly low risk in reality, hence people can still use there cars.
The framing of the post was pure hyperbole, hence it got called out as nonsense.
What’s your problem?

It most certainly isn’t. I’m talking about the wall EVSE anyway. You complete the path as a human…. Guess that doesn’t happen with Pope Bots

@Nasher you went quiet again on this one… seems you are atleast becoming self aware.

Wasnt the issue with zinc coating (for some reason that reminds me of a job I had where I needed to send data on zinc usage used for galvanising to NSO, but I digress) was that as soon as it was breached it was in effect no better than not adding zinc anyway.
So stone chips, deep scratches, accident repairs etc all breached the zinc and hence created a point where if not repaired properly created rust spots.
Exactly like not zinc coating would have (ie you needed to breach the paint anyway)
I think a lot of the zinc went back to when they were painting cars that were already rusty during manufacturing!

yes I'll drop this in too on electrocution protection for dc charging - risks are there just like home ac charging

]Electric vehicle with ground fault detecting system
Abstract
An electric vehicle incorporates a ground fault detecting system and has first and second ungrounded power supplies. The ground fault detecting system includes a first insulation resistance detector for detecting a first insulation resistance of the first ungrounded power supply with respect to a grounded region of the electric vehicle, and a second insulation resistance detector for detecting a second insulation resistance of the second ungrounded power supply with respect to the grounded region. The first insulation resistance detector and the second insulation resistance detector detect the first insulation resistance and the second insulation resistance at different times, respectively.
