They don't seem to be called "mobile crematoriums" on the idiot box.
All you got to do do is get in a serious accident and then you can be put in a small vase.

The handwriting is on the wall EVs, or some other technology will eventually replace ICE mode of transportation.
At the moment it is EVs not because their cleaner for the environment which they are, but because it's a new market and there is money to be had.
All the major car companies are investing in charging stations and research into EVs.
You can't believe they do not see a big payday at the end of the tunnel.
I own an EV and find the joy of not having to go to gas station was worth the investment.

And they will require much less high-cost union labor to produce.

I'm sure somewhere there are statistics for the number of people killed in ICE vehicles and in EVs. My bet is that even when adjusted for the number of vehicles on the road, EVs are safer than ICE.

How 'bout you find that info and get back to us, rather than "bet" on it...

Make sure to parse out "due to fires", and not just MVA deaths...

Nah, I’m good.

I don't think many people can conceive of 70,000 watts in thermal runaway at 3000F. Not only will it melt titanium, it will also melt concrete. Mobile Crematorium is apt. A load of EVs in thermal runaway coming from Europe sank the ship.

So far.

Not an electric vehicle, just a plain old lead-acid battery gas burner. So, if you don't think flooding salt water bridging the terminals of your regular battery can't start a fire, guess again.

Small battery small fire, large battery large uncontrollable fire.

IMO shouldn’t cover either, it was their fault

Polar vortex, excessive summer heat and now flooding. Three reasons why I don't own an EV.
