Where will you live when your EV burns your house down?


Saw a video of EV fire being doused with water. EV's subjected to flooding with salt water are prone to catch fire due to corrosion by salt water.

I wonder how electric cares will do here in the salty rust belt.

Just as well as they've been doing for quite a few years. In Michigan, for example, there are 10,620 electric vehicles registered with the Secretary of State.

And they give Dr. Oz a hard time for having 10 houses.

Out of how many total vehicles registered ? Like 5 or 6 million ?

Although you could easily google the answer, it is about 5 million.

10,620 is an ample sample size to determine the suitability of EVs in states that salt their roads.

We'll see.

Since the democrats are pushing EVs and FU-ggle seems to be their propaganda division, I'd trust the search machine's results as much as I trust the Dominion voting machines.

For example, bigPharma and their toads claimed the quack-ccines were safe. Months later a large life insurance company reported a 40% increase in all-cause mortality yet all the white coats at CDC can't figure out why the increase.

How about duckduckgo.com? I use "google" as generically as I use "kleenex".

The exact same source that Google gave me.

I'll bet if you drive around Michigan this time of year you will see ten times as many dead deer on the road than you see EV's.

Oh no! Now the troll can't trust dudkduckgo anymore. Probably call it FUckFUckgo next time.

He can't just simply accept your facts can he? No, but he can just nym-shift again and disappear.

Well, that sure adds a lot to the discussion. Thanks for jumping in, Frankie-Boi.

No reason they could not be protected from salt.

10 Persistent Automotive Myths That Are Wildly Wrong

EVs Are More Likely To Catch Fire Over the years, we've witnessed the recall of millions of vehicles from all kinds of manufacturers after widespread cases of catching fire. Recently, there has been more electric vehicle recalls, fueling the myth that EVs are more prone to catching fire. But the statistics tell a different story.

Data collected and analyzed by the National Transportation Safety Board, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, and government recall data indicate that EVs have reported the least fires per 100k sales. Hybrids lead the way with 3,474 fires, gas vehicles with 1,529 fires, and EVs with only

25 fires. But it's worth noting that EV fires are more damaging and harder to extinguish.

I do not mind them but do no support that they are being forced on us.

That is the problem with their fires. All the energy in the vehicle is contained in the battery unlike ICE vehicles which require air to release the energy.

That's it? Where the hell is the EV revolution?

What would you expect in the state that contains the Motor City?

Let's see what happens when the electric grid starts crashing.

Maybe we should all buy Honda generators to charge up our new electric shitboxes?

Let's see what happens when gas is $10 a gallon.
