But, but Tesla Gator posts how ICE vehicles spontaneously ignite just as easily.

Oops.
The rush to push the whole world into EVs in the next decade or too is madness. There are still many many kinds int the technology, infrastructure, safety etc. that need to be worked out before it makes sense to have a majority-EV-driving population.

The batteries are the Achilles Heel. If you don’t know that don’t stay the hell away from EV’s and Hybrids.

How many EV owners with buyer’s remorse left their EVs on purpose?

Way to tell: See if the insured buy another EV after the claim is settled...

It’s a bonus.

Your new EV doubles as an IED.

Water won’t extinguish an e.v. battery fire.

Much less quickly.

It makes them worse, the heat just turns it into extra oxygen and hydrogen fuel to make it burn faster.

They have to burn themselves out of fuel.

That crap is like thermite.

You can submerge them but that doesn’t put them out it just keeps stuff around it from catching fire, and dilutes the lethal smoke with steam.

All fireman can do is wait around and watch.

Every e.v. that went through that storm is now a ticking firetimebomb waiting to go off I bet.

Once the corrosion does its thing,,, poof !

If im right, this will be the last media we hear about it.

ICE cars explode from water, too ....













... provided you dry them out first, then fill them with explosives.

I would not only bee on the look out for EVs coming from there but regular ICE cars too. It was typical in the past to send these flood damaged cars all over the country to be sold to unsuspecting buyers.

There were 174,000 vehicle fires in 2021.

EVs were not a big number of those vehicles.

Looking back to the 1980s, there were upwards of 450,000 vehicle fires per year. LINK

No only putting out fires, but you need to know how to disable the electric systems to avoid lethal electrocutions.
