A daily occurrence. I'm sure the owner of the electric time bomb felt smug and self-righteous.

WHAT?

"Superintendent Adam Dewberry from Fire and Rescue NSW said that while battery fires were not uncommon, electric vehicles were not a concern for authorities."

Prediction: insurance underwriters are going to go head-to-head with NHTSA gov’t regulators regarding safety and indemnification of electric vehicles soon.

Meaning, EV insurance will either be severely limited, or unavailable within a few (3) years..

That’s okay though, GOVERNMENT will indemnify the industry - too big to fail, you know?

It’s for the children.

This is the kind of event that has become more and more common because government apparatchiks are stupid and listen to environmental wackos instead of these people:

1,600 scientists, including two Nobel laureates, sign declaration saying “There is no climate emergency.”

LOL! I guess that’s one way to “save da planet.” Have EVs burn down normal vehicles five at a time.

One day an EV will bring down a parking garage full of cars. If it starts on level one it will consume the place.

Have you ever looked at what is necessary for Lithium Ion batteries to work?

It takes a control board to balance charging between cells.

It takes another board to control the rate of discharge on them.

It is complex. And the world is dying from complexity.
