Well, to be fair, this lockdown crap has made getting marshmallows and weenie dogs difficult.
Couple years ago a passed an electric car fire on the interstate. The car was completely engulfed with flames shooting 100 ft high.
Another thing to worry about, when the voltage drops you can not get out of car. Heard of a case or two where driver burnt inside with rescuers unable to help victim out of car after an accident and electric actuated door did not work
Don’t tell Antifa.
Ah... Burning lithium mixed with all that other good stuff is always good for the environment.
And during a power failure? when all cars are battery powered, and there’s a power failure, than all cars stop. I’m betting the ruling elite won’t be driving battery powered cars, but will have something that runs on gasoline while the ordinary people, who they scorn, walk home.
The most common protocol is to stand down and let the fire burn itself out.
I gather then, that there is no federal requirement for a fire suppression system for these hi-tech electric car batteries?
That would seem to be a reasonable requirement, would it not?
