Ford Motor has been forced to suspend production on its electric F-150 Lightning pickup due to a battery fire.
Apparently, the electric pickup was sitting in a holding lot being charged when *poof*.
What about those pickups built during this lapse currently sitting in showrooms and garages?
The battery in an electric car is where the energy is stored. Therefore, the battery is the equivalent of a normal car’s gas tank. So let me ask you this… What if this many gas tanks had exploded over the same time frame, the past 18 months or so? You think we might pause the whole idea of the internal combustion engine until this potentially disastrous problem is worked out?

Proven, since the early 1900s, safe, reliable, heavy, get better with age, and inefficient. They work.
The rectory at our old parish burned...about a week after the pastor got a new vehicle... you guessed it.electric!!
they need to stop all the nonsense
its a waste of money and dangerous
The anti-science zeal to push us to electric vehicles appears to be getting ahead of safety. Politics has priority over people.
Leftist politics has priority over EVERYTHING. That’s the problem with it.
Will detached garages make a comeback?
Deliberate coverup by the corrupt media.
Soon, having an EV will cause your home insurance to skyrocket...
If Ford just called all of the new EV’s “Pinto” for a while, that would cover the issue. “Pinto SUV”, “Pinto Pick-Up”, etc.
“...and you will be happy.”
“Soon, having an EV will cause your home insurance to skyrocket...”
With home and auto “bundled” insurance (for a discount), there won’t be any sneaking it past the insurance companies.

Ford Pinto.
Take a wild guess how many Pinto’s burned before they were removed from the market?

Apparently, Pedo Joe’s rush to EVs was a little premature. They still haven’t got that crap right. LOL.
Yes, sure. That explains why the Internal Combustion Engine won in the market place.
“Ford Pinto.”
Yes, they were “fixed” by use of bracing and eventually went away. And they didn’t blow up all by themselves while sitting. There was nothing wrong with their gas tanks except their location. They had to be hit hard by another vehicle from behind to cause the fire.
WHEN DID WE HIRE A KING NANNY? Telling us what Stove we can have. I thought this was a Free Republic, not a Dictatorship.
I think I’m smart enough to pick the APPLIANCES I want. After all, they are in many of our Public institutes, businesses, and the homes of the rich Parascitic Elite$.

BIDEN WANTS ALL GAS APPLIANCES AND CARS. Look at the comments I ran out of writing room and put them in the comments.
“Cause Unknown” “Dying Suddenly” EVs going up in smoke from spontaneous conflagration syndrome.

Pintos beep horns.
