"How many deaths are we prepared to accept in order to rush through an EV transition that nobody wants?"
As long as it’s just a handful. Right martha?
The electric grid, for powering the Liberals' short-sighted-ness, is a lot of material and maintenance that is not within the Liberals' "vision."
This is not good but to be fair gasoline powered cars that caught fire have killed a few people thru the years. It’s not just EVs
Where is the FAR Left? Why aren’t they trying to destroy Porche? Hrumpf! Hrumpf!
This large-scale explosion was allegedly caused by a fire in an electric car which had crashed when its owner was driving it into the garage.
Porsche EV's are like the Pinto of the EV world as far as fire hazards go. Reminder: it was a Porsche EV that caused the cargo ship fire. Most of the Porsche EV recalls are related to fire hazards.
It’s not a Tesla, so it’s not news.
You vill eat zee bugs.
Of course they have.
But when you compare the number of EVs on the road and the number of ICE cars on the road, the frequency of fires is much more common in EVs, and once they catch fire...they are difficult if not often impossible to extinguish via conventional means, and the toxic materials released in those intense fires is far more harmful.
As this guy (MGUY in Australia) states in one of his videos, the cars in an enclosed space can turn the entire space into a gigantic fuel-air bomb. I suspect that is what happened here that killed the firefighters.
It is common that parking garages prohibit EV’s. You don’t hear about that much either.
MGUY has made the point that this kind of thing is coming with Ferries, garages, and if you have a garage at home, it is going to make your premiums go up, or...you will become uninsurable.

Yep.
But were those gasoline powered cars sitting in a parking lot, minding their own business, with a molitov cocktail under them?
however no gas car fire ever resulted in a shelter in place notice cuz of the lethal fumes and smoke .
every ev fire produces lethal gases, fumes and smoke.
and the charging stations and battery stations are even worse.
couple times in california that kind of fire resulted in notices to shelter in place.
