I Got Turned Away From a Hospital Car Park in my Electric Car - Can They REALLY Explode?!
"Electric car driver turned away from hospital car park" - You might have read in the news recently that I was turned away from one of the car parks at Alder Hey hospital in Liverpool because they have banned electric cars ("temporarily", it turns out...).

Since the story got so much traction (it was the most-read article on the entire BBC News website for quite a while) and got picked up by several other media organisations, I thought it would be worth making a quick video telling the full story, discussing the key points and issues raised (especially surrounding genuine fire risks but also other misinformation regarding electric vehicles) as well as responding to some comments and feedback I've seen since the news story broke.

💥 "Because the battery in your car will react with the metal car park and it could catch fire or explode."
🔥 "When EVs, electric cars, do burn, they're harder to put out, but they are far safer and less likely to catch fire in the first place."
🚭 "The negative press from the fossil fuel industry is exactly the same playbook as when the tobacco industry tried to convince people that smoking wasn't bad for you."
Takeaways
- Electric cars are often subject to misinformation and misconceptions, which can lead to unnecessary bans and restrictions.
- While there are genuine risks and issues associated with electric cars, they are safer and less likely to catch fire compared to petrol or diesel cars.
- The fossil fuel industry has a vested interest in spreading negative press about electric cars to protect their own interests.
- Accurate information about electric cars should be communicated to the public to dispel myths and promote clean energy solutions.

How to Wash Your Hands (... with a little bit of help from Google)
Thank you!
Thank you very much, it really helped me.
What is used instead of the chime?
You can use your existing chime if you have one, alternatively (or also) all your Google home speakers and your phone too.
Hi.. Thnx a million times for a lesson.
"Get into settings" when phone is off and button does not work, nice video!
Have you actually watched it?
Use pass through people, these connection are a nightmare to install.
I prefer to cut the wires on an angle.. i.e. orange stripe been the longest and brown been the shortest.. make it even easier to pass thorough.
Perfect first try. Thank you!
Nice work! 💪
I’m getting “no bootable device”. I have a usb and did the changes on my bios
For goodness sake, make sure the post office put a customs label on it. Currently waiting to get all my stuff back to resend it. Nightmare
Not working now I guess. When using the formula, an error comes up stating Imported content is empty.
Have you got an API key?
Please can you (or anyone) tell me how to do this with a flat ethernet cable? They seem to be wired differently to traditional round ones and I can't find any crimping tool, stripper or tutorial for them. It's a flat Cat 6 cable and I just need to put a new connector on one end.
Would you be able to help me sort out the issues in my DIY Fiber Optic Network?
Probably not - but try me!
@@SwitchedOnNetwork Okay, what's your email address? I'll send you a diagram of what I designed. Please check your Spam folder, sometimes my emails go there.
You're not supposed to untwist the pairs in the keystone jack. You'd fail the AM2 exam
How do you wire them without untwisting them?
Thank You, Angel 😇 ❤🙏
TO THOSE PHONE THAT NEED THE POWER BUTTON TO PRESS OK,U JUST NEED TO WAIT FOR 4-5 MINUTES AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY❤
I may start calling my "roWter" a "rooter" now.
okay, I don't know much about this internet improvement stuff so I needed help from someone who could tell me what I should do to fix my patchy internet. We have very strong internet, but it doesnt get upstairs.. and not good enough of signal to get outside to the bridge system. Anyway.. I just needed to let you know some things. First off, the I'm here for the free wifi shirt is BOMB. The preview of the video showed when I searched .. and I KNEW INSTANTLY that it was the video I NEEDED to watch! the VIBE is so genuinely awesome and I am here for it!
Can you use it without playing music? For example, watch a movie or listen to a podcast?
Yes - anything which would/could be played out of a single speaker will come from both and be stereo
I think im inlove and im not even gay ;) thanks mate
haha thanks.... I think! 🤣
DUDE THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH THIS WAS SUCH A BIG PROBLEM FOR ME UNTIL U CAME THANK YOUUUU❤❤❤
No problem!!
The cable in this video is solid. NEVER crimp RJ45 connectors onto solid wire cable. Only use stranded wire cables for that. This video shows what you MUST NOT do. The gold tips of the connector will not go through a solid wire. Horrible connection, if any at all. Then you might wonder why there is no connection.
Works fine, and has been working fine for years 👍
@@SwitchedOnNetwork does not make it correct
Can I put two cables on one wall jack .thanks
You can't join them together - you'd need to get a double keystone socket with two jacks. If you want two connections then you'll need to add in a network switch
I have two cables in socket,one from router another goes to the attic .And they left one keystone socket@@SwitchedOnNetwork
Thanks for answering
All these vids on how to hook plug to ethernet wire are no good to me cause my ethernet cables use totally diffrent coloured wires. Mine must have come from Mars, even though i bought them from the usual shop outlets, i just dont get it.
Weird! What colours are yours?
He's the guy from assassins creed
Never played it but I'm assuming that's a compliment? 😂😉
great video , for my needs this is overkill, I have cat 5e UTP cables in the wall so I get the cheapest plugs and crimp those. The router has a max of 1 Gbps and will reach this trough this this cables. The internet from the isp is a 500 kbps symmetrical so I think will not need cat 7 :)))
What if the wires have no colors?
What, none at all...? What cable are you using?
Firstly, thank you for the video. Secondly, I took me 2 hours to coax these damn tiny wires to stay and go on the right order through TWO connectors - with very short wire I may add. I hope I never have to do this again..
Ha, well done for persevering! Glad it worked, and you'll definitely be quicker next time if you need to do it again 💪
Can you view the camera in real time (and for longer than 15 seconds), or only view the recordings?
Yes you can view real time 👍
Thanks
You're Welcome!
Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
Enjoyed your rant - you were right to highlight the issue - let’s ban 5 year old ICE cars from multi storey car parks and see how much of a non-story it would be then. A study by the US National Transportation Safety Board showed that per 100000 petrol cars, there were 1530 fires, per 100000 EVs sold, there were 25. So it’s not just down to the fact that there’s more petrol cars out there. As you say all Fear, Uncertainty, and Disinformation. Why wasn’t the car park closed if its sprinkler system was found wanting. What’s this magic sprinkler system that would put out a petrol fire anyway ?
Thank you! And some great stats that further back-up the notion that it's nonsense to ban the safer cars from a car park.
Levels must be matched within 1db. When doing comparisons.
... unless the level difference is part of the comparison!
how in this world i watched the whole video when i made hundred of ethernet cables??
🤣🤣 thanks for watching anyway, hope you enjoyed it or learnt something!
thank you sir
Would you recommend a Nest mini 2 if I put in my bedroom? And are you Not able to disable data and audio collection or delete the collected data in the google home settings?
Yeah you can go into your Google account IIRC and clear data collected by the device. You can't disable it altogether I don't think - but check in the account setings.
@@SwitchedOnNetwork Ok thanks
It's been ages since I crimped a RJ45 I can't believe there are pass through plugs that makes is so much easier 😁
2 minutes and 10 seconds of my life that I'll never get back
sorry about that 🤣
No. It is "proof of address" not "proof of residence". These are two very different things. The rules are you need to provide "proof of address". So it doesn't need to be a "utility bill" as you claim. This is bad advice!
I can't remember exactly what I said as this video is about 6 years old and related to the information at the time. Like with anything you find on the Internet which clearly has a date attached to it stating when it was written/produced, it's always a good idea to check current information, guidance and requirements (especially before publicly decrying something as "bad" advice...!)
@@SwitchedOnNetwork No, you were giving legal advice. The "date" issue is just you justifying that you can put it aside. Also your response just highlights, that you have no idea what you're talking about!
haha riiiight OK good luck with that
@@SwitchedOnNetwork Which means you agree to my point that you have no idea what you're talking about!
Thank you so much for this, has saved me money and time to sort a new phone out and everything that comes with it!
Glad it was useful and saved you money!
An important point to add here is that when inserting the wires into the connector you must have the clip side down. Though this video does show that I thought it an important point to make for anyone doing this for the first time.
Yes, thank you - important to get everything the right way round!
Does anyone ever have a problem with the crimping tool not crimping all the wires? Is it the tool or the connector or is it possible the wires are crossed which prevents them from being crimped properly?
Which tool are you using?
Will my regular Ethernet crimping tool work on these ends to crimp the end on? Or is the crimping tool designed different for these ends?
My regular tool is for passthrough.
who did the voice over?
Me! (Paul Freeman-Powell)
@@SwitchedOnNetwork sounds great.
Thanks!
Hi we live in Spain and used the Irish embassy in Madrid three weeks by courier bags from the local post office ..I did not know you can claim Irish citizenship as well. Dave.
Is it so difficult to follow the rules imposed by a Hospital?
Difficult, no. But why was such a rule imposed in the first place? It makes no sense and no just ends up perpetuating incorrect and false misinformation among the public - which is very dangerous.
Didn't you say on another video, that they have been sold and the new company doesn't respect your privacy?
Not me I don't think, I've only ever done this video about Tile... 🤔
Thanks you bro❤❤🎉🎉
Hope it was helpful! 😁
Will these work for cat6a?
Yes! 👍 (Just make sure the AWG numbers on the cable and plugs match)
If you're just making cables for your own home, is there any reason you couldn't just wire "straight through", i.e., without the goofy color order? Seems to me that if you went orange, orange-white, green, green-white, etc., it would work just as well. Isn't it the case that as long as the same wire is connected to Pin 1, then the same wire is connected to Pin 2, etc., that you would get electrical connectivity from the plug on one end to the plug on the other end.
Simple answer: no 🤣 slightly more complex answer: there's a very specific reason they're ordered that way as it's not just electrical connectivity you need. The signals going up and down the wires create electromagnetic interference, as well as being affected by it externally, so you'd get poor performance due to cross talk and other interference if wires are essentially twisted with the wrong other ones based on how they're wired at the ends.
