There is goign to be a new category of health issues called “EV Ulcers” and “EV Stress” that will cause all manner of conditions-
Think about it- you are forced to buy a really expensive EV (if it comes to mandates), and you spend all that $$- Go to work all day, get home, plug your EV in and lay awake all night worrying about whether your car will burn up during the night, or your house will burn down too- Get up the next morning exhausted from the worry- back to work- all to pay off the ridiculously priced EV that runs like crap- freezes you in the winter and causes heat exhaustion in summer
Pretty soon they will describe towns on maps as “Wisconsin, home of 200,000 standing homes, and 50,000 burned out shells, and anxiety treatment centers every 1000 ft”
I’m sure the smoke from a lithium battery fire is just wonderful and healthy to breath.
It may be the only thing that CA has not declared a carcinogen.
Never. There are BILLIONS of Li-Ion powered devices in use in America that never gave nobody any grief.
But you can’t run a small engine or fire up a bbq pit in CA.
I guess Kalifornians could grill over a burning battery.
If they could afford to buy some meat to grill.
Karine ?
Folks, remember to always park your EV’s next to propane refill trucks outside unless you park in your garage.
