For those in charge will let you know that "day and night we are watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." You can add a sentence that says "we also have to travel in gas-powered vehicles and private planes to instruct the people as to how to save the environment" ( see Al Gore, John Kerry).
EV’s are being encouraged (and soon to be mandated) so that YOUR travel can be restricted .... within that 15-minute city is going to be their ability to shut your power off whenever they want or restrict your ability to charge your EV at their convenience.
Some electric vehicles in Florida are bursting into flames after coming into contact with saltwater.
The saltwater isn’t just from flooding. Live anywhere near the coast and that stuff just eats away at anything and everything it touches. Best examples are vehicles that were purchased and driven in the SW, dry climates, body and frames are in perfect condition after decades of use. Then see what happens with cars and trucks along the coastal areas and in northern parts of the country where they treat the wintery roads with salt. It destroys vehicles.
Eventually that saltwater mist creeps it’s way in and, VOILA, a big ol’ POS on fire.
And THAT is only one stepping stone on their path to full communism -- the abolition and control of all domestic travel and a permanent ban on all private automobiles for the hoi polloi.
I worked in China for seven months late 1976 to late spring 1977 and saw what a society without any private automobiles looked like. It wasn't pretty. I worked in a fertilizer plant located at the confluence of two major rivers and three provinces. You could not leave the Yunnan province to go to either of the other two without an internal passport.
EVs are part of the Agenda 21 corridor system. Limited range and freedom. Can’t bring extra charge with you like extra gas cans. Have to be charged in metro hubs.
You bought a cherrybomb!
EPA mandates for carbon capture/green hydrogen are going to send the cost of electricity soaring.
There also has been an instance of the occupant (IIRC the driver was alone) drowning because he pulled a Teddie Kennedy and drove off a bridge and into a river.
He couldn’t get out because the door locks were shorted out in the closed position.
Nice thing about EVs is the increased difficulty of fraudulently selling a flood damaged car. They self-destruct before they can be cleaned up.
That's what I said on the thread about the car-carrier ship that caught on fire back in August.

Salt water is a massive conductor of electricity.Is transporting 500 electric vehicles with their lithium ion batteries at sea with the salty sea air and dampness and water everywhere really a good idea?
Is it possible that the salt water can cause a short somewhere in the EV that causes the battery to overheat until it catches on fire?
All nonsense spread by the anti electric vehicle non believers. Just add a “booster battery pack” and you will be fine!...
