Seems that a few media commentators have reported their doubts about EV's. Financial pundit Stephen Moore has a report headlining the question: Exploding Electric Vehicles Are Unsafe At Any Speed (?) Click Here
<< In NY City there's been 108 lithium-ion battery fires, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. << Last year there were more than 200 fires from batteries from e-bikes, EVs and other devices. << A fire ignited at an e-bike shop and killed four people near midnight on the morning of June 20. Two more people were left in critical condition. << It’s happening all over the country as these blazes have become commonplace. Moore asks us to recall how Ralph Nader's bestselling book “Unsafe at Any Speed” helped discontinue the compact Chevrolet Corvair — with its engine in the back trunk of the car. Nader’s titled has been paraphrased, or borrowed here Seems that Stephen Moore and I are both EV critics, along with You Dave. And several other folks here, joining the chorus, and calling out the libs and greenies. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Report titled: As Hurricane Idalia caused flooding, some electric vehicles exposed to saltwater caught fire Seems this is another down side of electric vehicles. It's also bad for gas powered ones. But at least the gas one's being flooded won't burn down your garage or your home. Quotes: "two electric vehicles caught fire after being submerged in saltwater churned up by the storm. Firefighters in Palm Harbor, Florida, cited the incidents, both of which involved Teslas, . . . If you own a hybrid or electric vehicle that has come into contact with saltwater due to recent flooding within the last 24 hours, it is crucial to relocate the vehicle from your garage without delay." Six EV's were reported as burning after a 2022 Florida hurricane The warning also applies to electric golf carts, scooters and bicycles, with lithium-ion batteries. Pinellas Park, Fl. Tesla was a victim of 2023's Idalia hurricane |
