Not just the fires. Won’t the extra weight of an EV cause more damage to other vehicles when they hit them?

Yep, the laws of physics will see to that.

  1. More extensive damage to normal cars when EVs hit them
  2. More deaths in normal cars when EVs hit them
  3. Cannot extinguish EV fires on the road
  4. Fire departments must buy many dunk-tanks to extinguish EV fires
  5. Increased house fires
  6. Processing and treatment of chemicals and water used to extinguish EV fires is required - cannot dump the water into the sewer without treatment
  7. Parking garages will need to be reinforced or number of EVs parked in them limited
  8. African child labor to mine cobalt
  9. High toxic waste streams from batteries; limited recycling of EV batteries (today)
What's not to like?
