From January...

Insurer Aviva issues warning over rising claims related to lithium-ion battery fires 15 January 2024 INSURER AVIVA is urging consumers to be “on their guard” after witnessing a 7% increase in customer claims across the past year in relation to fires started by lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly found in rechargeable devices including smart phones, tablets, power tools, e-bikes and e-scooters.

So good anti EV people like me pay higher insurance due to bad people who own EVs.

(Yes, I divide people into good and bad. Controversial.)

My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
“We’ll meet on edges, soon,” said I
Proud ‘neath heated brow

Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow

Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now
