Lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars on board have caught fire, and the blaze requires specialized equipment to extinguish, captain Joao Mendes Cabecas of the port of Hortas said. The source of the fire is still unknown.

I would assume fire depts across the USA will increasingly need this special equipment to fight electric car fires resulting from car accidents and malfunctions. I’m sure they burn clean as well. -sarc

I think it’s a sign from God to avoid electric cars

Well if your special order car is on that ship, you can kiss it goodbye.

Lithium-ion batteries in the electric cars on board have caught fire (...) The source of the fire is still unknown.

"The ship is burning from one end to the other ... everything is on fire about five meters above the water line," Cabeças said. (...) the fate of the cars remains unknown.

Ronan Glon: Moron.

I am betting they will tow it around long enough for it to sink. Who’s going to want to clean up that mess?

In Europe they dunk them in a dumpster full of water for a day.

Would be humorous if all the cars were secretly used to ship Chinese fentanyl through middleman operation. Drugged seagulls would be a clue.

Electric cars good for environment? Reality is that no technology is completely free of some kind of environmental impact...even ones declared “green” by the Environmental advocacy industry. The real criteria for whether or not a technology is “green” is that it is not yet in use on a mass scale but is still a more expensive or less practical “alternate technology”. As soon as a technology becomes main stream, the Environmental groups will suddenly realize the impact it does have and exaggerate it to abolish the technology in favor “green sustainable alternatives”...which they will also denounce as dirty tech if they ever become main stream.

>specialized equipment to extinguish

LOL!

Anyone with any sense knows that is a complete loss, there will be no extinguishing short of it burning out. That is a 4000+ car carbeque.

You noticed that too, huh? “Caught fire”. From what?

I suspect that somewhere on board a violent gun erupted.

Guess electric cars and gas powered vehicles cannot “ co-exist “.

I distinctly ordered the Antarctic Blue Super Sports Wagon with the C.B. and optional rally fun pack.

We know a communist leftist that we call ‘Battery boy’ because he thinks all the world’s problems would just be solved if we just built huge batteries to power everything.

He is effectively as dumb as that meme that has AOC saying, ‘the supply chain problems do not effect me. I buy my food from the supermarket.’
