Your new EV doubles as an IED.
OK, that was good.
The disposal plan is to dump the worn out batteries in third-world countries. Poison their environment. Out of sight out of mind so the rich leftists will feel righteous.
Jim Varney only needed 4000 D Cells for his electric car in 1977...

I encourage EVERY Democrat to buy an EV.
Do it for the party.
Fires happen in all vehicles.
174,000 is 476 vehicle fires per day all year long.
Do we read hundreds of reports about them all year long as
if it’s something very unusual?
No.
I have yet to find an prospective buyer or an owner who cares about that.
I also don’t know any who’ve read their insurance policy thoroughly.
Bet some folks are going to be in for one rude awakening.
So, just like our “E-Waste” and recycling programs then? Good to know,
Yup flood the EV with salt water and keep it in high humidity FL.
Check your homeowners. Specifically the GARAGE.
What? He’ll beat DeSantis?
Insurance... I wonder that too.
Do EVs cost more to insure?
How much more?
Figure if the buyer can afford an EV that not worried about the insurance.
Because most of those fires are related to accidents, not by getting wet.
Yep , They’re ticking time bombs
“...at risk of corrosion...”
What happens to the flooded area after all the chemicals in the batteries are leached out? Does it become a new “supersite” chemical waste dump, waiting for a billion-dollar cleanup?
Minorities and women will be hardest hit.
“74,000 is 476 vehicle fires per day all year long.
Do we read hundreds of reports about them all year long as
if it’s something very unusual?”
That argument has no weight.
The vast majority of fires in ICE cars are minor and not hard to put out, and even the larger fires don’t require the dangers, manhours and expense that all EV battery fires cause.
So if 50 EVs had fires because they got wet, that’s worse
then the 420 plus ICE cars that caught fire, in excess of
that figure?
Actually reading the stats listed regarding the fires in
ICE cars, they referenced faulty fuel lines and other issues.
I’m sure accidents do fit in there also, but I believe
they have gone a long way toward making the gas tanks a
lot safer than they used to be.
ICE car fires have gone down from 450,000 in the 80s, to
175,000 now. That’s a very good improvement. Still...
Yup.
Just another reason to not push for them
Oh I thing 476 vehicle fires do carry weight.
Here’s a situation where EVs are having an issue, on a
couple of days.
The ICE cars have 476 vehicle fires every day.
Buyers beware for pre owned Teslas.
