Buttigieg joined with several other experts ..

Herein lies an obvious falsehood, i.e., Buttigieg is NOT an expert!

Part of my solution is that my car batteries are lead-acid.

So just imagine if the entire propulsion system ran on lithium batteries.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along those same lines, I’ve got to wondering whether any of the ferry operators have given any thought to what they would do if an EV fire broke out when they are on the water.

It’s required isn’t it? I mean, you must make the story longer so that you can post more ads while it is up. Isn’t that correct?

These kids would fail and faint at the thought of having to get the necessary information for a billion dollar financial decision on one page as I have had to do so many times.

I swear, you have to read War and Peace to get to the punch line of most articles these days.

But IT COULD HAPPEN just any time from now. You never know and you can never say never.

How can you bear the knowledge of the risk that they may develop a short circuit and burst into flame any day?

The thought of such a tragedy maybe happening to you or me or anyone is just terrifying! Oh the horror!

/s of course.

OTOH, I do wonder how much risk there is in all the lithium ion batteries I have around this place. I sure would not park an EV in a garage attached to the house.

NEVER HAVE HAD A FIRE IN ANY OF THE VARIOUS VEHICLES I have owned.

You must not have owned a VW Bug, almost every roadside fire I passed was a bug. I think they made a lot of engine components out of paper.

Saindy Pyles thought she was going to die with her son, Gomer, clutched to her chest.

had a cheap external cell phone battery charger on a plane before the seats had usb ports on them to charge phones. Heated up hot to touch and had that burning battery smell. People around me started alerting the attendents. i showed them the charger. I thought we were going to turn the plane around. The attendant calmly took it, wrapped it an inflatable vest and put in the trash. She said they were just trained on what to do. No harm done, everyone went on with their lives

Lithium-ion batteries ‘keeping the fire alive’ on burning cargo ship carrying luxury cars..

Felicity Ace, carrying ~4,000 vehicles including Porsches, Audis and Bentleys, electric with lithium-ion batteries, caught fire in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean .. then it sank..
