“Wonder what the insurance companies think about this?”

Insurance has got to sky rocket for EV’s as well as limitations on where they can be parked, etc. This will not sit well with the lefties and they will likely mandate be law that insurance premium costs be averaged out so that ICE vehicle owners pay their “fair” share.

Our electricity company has no solar or wind BS production equipment. However our rates have skyrocketed because of this averaging BS, or so a company rep told me.

The goal of socialism is to spread the misery, and that practice is in high gear no matter where we look.

The evidence is in EV cars cause climate change.

Liquid nitrogen, lots of it. Would be a spectacular display of fire fighting, but be sure to bring your air packs.

Added to the list which is not intended to be complete.

EVs need to be pioneered and "domesticated" imo.

In the meanwhile, beware of Democratic "one size fits all" remedies to what are probably government-manufactures crises imo.

In other words, I wouldn't be surprised if elite Democrats are working in cahoots with corrupt CEOs to force consumers to by profitable junk science remedies for government-manufactured crises.

You get it! Dump a ton of concrete on the flamer and a ton of sand. Bury it! It worked in Chernobyl.

That’s absolutely clever...the car one..not the one boinking the guy. LOL. The car actually moved when it was hit by the water.

The best way to deal with it is get a bull dozer and dump a couple loads of dirt on it.

Or just let it burn, then use the bull dozier to pick up the blob.

The car was absolutely crushed by the water but that still wouldn’t be enough to put out the battery fire. My point is the whole thing is just absurd.
