There are many scenarios I can think of that make owning an EV exclusively impractical......most of them emergency related.

Not to mention environmental concerns ironically

Well, Tesla sold just over 930,000 cars in 2021 alone. And with new Giga Factories in Texas, Germany, and China, they are on track to sell well over a million this year.

As I said, we've reached the knee portion of the curve.

To make matters worse, your average firefighter crew cannot properly extinguish the things because the battery casings insulate the fires from foam and water as applied by the firefighters:

Personally, I never park near them since I don’t want any fire damage coming my way as the result of their random explosions.
