The video of the truck fire included in the linked article is something to behold. These fires are almost impossible to put out.

It’s not a “growing risk.” It’s an “inherent risk.”

For the sake of the children and the environment, someone in Congress should write a bill banning lithium batteries weighing more than a few ounces. Maybe MTG could do that. She love to go after the left.

How are the Nissans? I hear a lot of scary stuff about domestic producers. But is Nissan building a good product an making money at it?

They should make self-destruction an option instead of a requirement. In case your car is taken over by Klingons, or something.

It’s not an F 150 if it is electric.

Batteries do not like hot.
As EVs become more common in the South and South West how is that gonna work out?

You will get that oversized electric golf cart fanboy all agitated and posting pics of gas powered cars burning.

As a commenter on the Dearborn, MI story said, one fire spews so much toxic fumes into the air that it ruins the advantage of giving up on driving a gas powered truck for a year or so.

I think that these battery fires are flammable metal fires with each flammable metal normally requiring it’s own extinguishing agent but there are no labels on the cars listing the materials involved.

Lithium Ion batteries are already going out of style. Tesla has already started the phase out to safe Lithium Iron Phosphate compositions.
So these battery fires are unlikely to be a problem for newer EVs.

“recalled 18 of the vehicles, which Ford has likened to the Model T in terms of importance to the company.”
The Model T was made to be affordable.

Obviously misinformation. EVs have been deemed "safe and effective" by the government.
