If only they would have had the new Biden railroad built..
Has this kind of destructive mayhem always existed and we just more readily know about it when it happens because of the lightning speed of communications and sharing media? Or are there an increasing amount of saboteurs out there trying to destroy / rebuild society? That’s a question everyone needs to ask themselves.
Sooner or later this will happen in an underground parking garage somewhere. The damage will be in the 10’s of millions. Eventually the insurance companies will tire of losing their ass on these things and refuse to insure them. Kinda like house insurance in California or Florida. That will pretty much put an end to this farce.
Better check to see where the Nordstream saboteur’s were at the time . . .
One person has died and several have been injured after a car carrier with some electric vehicles caught fire in the North Sea off the Netherlands overnight.
The first was report around midnight on the Panama-flagged Fremantle Highway traveling from Bremerhaven, Germany to Port Said, Egypt with 23 crew members on board.
The ship is reportedly loaded with 2,857 vehicles, including 25 electric vehicles. The cause of the fire has not been determined.
The burning ship is located around 27 kilometers off the coast of Ameland, Netherlands.
I have to wonder if the 25 electric cars are a much bigger problem than the other 2832 ICE cars.
If all the cars were electric I can see them being forced to scuttle the ship & let them all sink to the bottom.
I wonder if there's a connection between the car batteries and the fire.../s
This is the kiss of death for ships transporting electric cars.

“The possible cause of the fire was an electric vehicle, one of some 25 on board, the official said.”
If you’ve ever been around ocean going vessels you become aquatinted with the damage that the continuous salt spray causes. Even living close to the ocean is problematic. You better garage your car because the continuous salt environment will eat it up. Problems with combustible EVs are going to be worse.
This ship will be the second one full of vehicles to be lost.
The electric vehicle party is OVER. They will soon be uninsurable and not possible to ship anywhere in the world.
Upon becoming uninsurable, EV’s will not be eligible for financing as lenders will have a major risk of total loss on EV loans.
Electric vehicles are a huge risk, ready to ignite at any time without warning.
EV’s will be banned from using ferries and parking in public garages. Local ordinances will prevent them from parking in private, single family garages or public garages. There might be laws passed to prevent EV’s from being parked within 200 feet of any structure.
Walmart might prohibit their parking as a result of the risk of damage or loss to other vehicles parked near the EV’s.
All you need is 1 EV
I guess they could make special slots on the ship for electric cars, from which they can be ejected into the sea in case of fire. But that will raise the transport costs.
My friend once remarked that paying for his daughter’s wedding was like buying a brand new Mercedes and driving it into the ocean.
Hi.
Moral of the story? Don’t charge your EV on board a ship going to Egypt.

Who manufactured the electric cars?
Jeez… yet again? Car shipping insurance rates are GONNA SOAR!
