Aside from the potential CAR-B-Q, I’ve already seen two EVs suddenly go into hazard light mode as they very slowly moved over to get off the road. I have no evidence, but I suspect they ran out of juice just as golf carts tend to do by the 17th hole. How many accidents will this cause in two years... five years... ten?
—”Aside from the potential CAR-B-Q”
Recently a former neighbor’s few-week-old Ford went up in flames a few minutes after parking in his garage.
His very nice acre-plus vacant lot is now for sale!!!
Nothing new, from Fords past:
“At that time, it was a largest safety recall by a single car manufacturer
Ford received reports of 2,000 fires that may have been triggered by the faulty ignition switch, causing at least 28 minor injuries
The ignition switch was installed in 23 million vehicles between 1984 and 1993”...
“The first recall, which impacted 8.7 million models manufactured between 1988 and 1993, was issued. They had short-circuiting ignition switches installed in them, which could cause them to overheat and catch fire. Furthermore, a short circuit can occur even when the vehicle’s engine is turned off. Ford spent around $200 million to repair the “burning fuses.”

Until the a-hole started pushing, I liked EV and wanted one.
Now with government intervention, EVs have been set back many years.
See, “Man Mounth”, Brook’s law...
