Article is wrong: there was a thermal event, not a fire.

I was thinking about getting an electric vehicle but the recent Bolt “issue” put and end to that. How could you ever sleep at night while one is charging even near your home?

Careful! Those photos, with two different locations claimed, are otherwise identical. Look at the spacing of the five green buses, and their front wheel relative distances.

Not every internet claim of CAGW and green energy failures is correct. NPR a while back interviewed a Colorado specialist in making fake video’s and claim.

It’s California! They will order 1000 more of the same buses and start an advertising campaign to convince the folks that the buses are safe.

Californian: "I seen it on TV. They said it wasn't a fire , it was a thermal event."

2nd One: "Yeah, I seen that on all the TV news shows, too. But, ya' know, that thermal event looked awful hot to me. Ouch."

PS My usual apologies to the exceptions in CA, the FReepers. Not responsible for the dullard leftists in charge over their lives.

Send out Neil Young to examine the evidence in his electric Lincoln. Oops, it burned up while being charged overnight and set fire to a multimillion dollar classic car barn which was a total loss.

Then send those guys in the Tesla, or, wait, they leaped out before the Tesla burned to a cinder.

Well, somebody disprove that electric vehicles catch fire (yes, like the CHiPS ones that run on gasoline, I know.)

GM again recalls its US electric vehicles over fire threat - 2 days ago — GM is once again recalling nearly 70000 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicles because of a risk that the battery will catch fire when the car is ...

Ironically, LA had electric trolleys and the right of ways that ran all over the area into the valleys, until they switched to diesel in the late 40’s (or maybe early 50’s)
Overhead wires electric, not battery electric.

You're not really that stupid are you?

I’m not that stupid, nor as rude as you. C’mon. Make a civil comment other than a woke generation style calling me stupid.

Point is, they were non-petrol.(probably coal generation).
