You’ve got to be really stupid to accidentally start an ICE car fire. But it sure looks like pretty much anyone is capable of accidentally starting an EV fire.
Yet another reason I’ll be passing on EVs.
Not sure why ‘firefighters’ would feel compelled to ‘reiterate’ this. Of course it was the user’s fault. Too bad it only applies to Magic Climate Change Eraser batteries and not guns.
I was waiting for the industrial response to battery powered vehicles. Each vehicle is bought with a set of two batteries. They are swapped out as the preferred charging method. One is charging while the other is operating. They are slid in and out with a hoist at the charging station next to a gantry. Batteries don’t get short cycled that way.
