Chemically, those batteries are somewhat similar to the incendiary bombs used
to firebomb Dresden and Tokyo. Lithium serves as the stand-in for magnesium.

These batteries are ticking time bombs and can self-destruct due to improper storage, software glitches, etc. If I had an EV, I wouldn't keep it in a garage.

If Teslas are so wonderful, why doesn’t he drive one?It's not about the EV's, it's about the EV sales. Think portfolio.

“”unexpectedly caught fire””????
Is there a time and/or place when it is expected to catch fire??
Inquiring minds want to know.

Light to medium weight branched liquid hydrocarbons are a far safer, time-tested, and convenient energy storage strategy for motor vehicles and will never go away despite the government’s best efforts to demonize an entire sector of the economy.
