Electric Vehicles that have been flooded in saltwater can catch fire. If you evacuated and left an electric vehicle or golf cart in your garage or under a building and you are not able to get to it or move it, we want you to let us know. /1 pic.twitter.com/dpfiXRAGuR

I live in the TB area and even the local Lame Stream Midiots couldn't ignore the giant, fully-erecrt, horny elephant stomping on testicles throughout the room... EV's are a DISASTER waiting to happen! They were falling all over themselves in a vain effort to try and recover some semblance of trust by warning people to avoid exposing their "green" vehicles to ANY saltwater on a PENINSULA surrounded by oceans.
ReplyDeleteKlown World shit. 🤡🤡🤡
Just one more reason, as if
ReplyDeleteA very large house, entry level mansion in fact, burned to the ground in our neighborhood in broad daylight in Texas recently. These houses are all electric, and all have modern wiring with GFCI's throughout. There is no gas service in this area. I'm pretty sure it was an electric car that lit off in the garage but nobody is saying. They scraped what was left of the house off of the foundation. At some point insurance companies are going to intervene.
ReplyDeleteElectric cars are a great idea, but the battery technology or infrastructure is not there yet. Another nail Inn the coffin for electric vehicles.
ReplyDeleteThey are the ultimate internal combustion car.
ReplyDeleteHA! No shit!
DeleteGovernment mandated EV requirement. How well planned and considered. Those batteries don't extinguish with water.
ReplyDeleteI recently went on a cross country trip driving. Observation: passing numerous rest areas where semis park overnight, it would take over 200 or more "charging" stations. How many generators would that take to run them? and what about parking overnight at hotels around the country? they would need charging stations for every parking spot... Now think how stupid people are to believe doing away with gas engines is going to save the planet. No, it will lead to control of who can drive and who does not... thats how they control the planet...

The other aspect to keep in mind is evacuating for the storm even if your car is fully charged. Remember that even the interstates and Florida Turnpike get standing water on them. From Tampa to the Georgia line on I-75 is about 200 miles. Now think of being stuck in your car due to the bumper to bumper traffic. On top of the worry of whether you make it to a safe place before you need to stop and recharge (somehow) you have to be thinking about stopping in a puddle.
ReplyDeleteIf you want to buy an EV just take the money and flush it down the toilet.
ReplyDeleteYou should find and post that video of the bicycle that caught on fire in the elevator and incinerated the owner.

On a positive note, if you don't have flood insurance, the resulting loss from a fire will be covered.
ReplyDeleteThat's kind of what happened in the SF quake of 1906. No earthquake insurance but broken gas mains caused fires which were covered. And there was absolutely no fraud involved.
ReplyDeleteFirst, EV and the associated battery technology have been rushed to market about 3 phases of development too soon because of .gov subsidies but beyond that, if you have a Tesla or similar, with IP cameras etc., why not invest in a smoke/fire alarm system to boot?
ReplyDeleteI hope the owner and family survived but seriously, what a dope.
Had a friend who got passed by a squirrelly Tesla driver, who proceeded to crash into a utility pole. Got trapped because the electric windows and doors would no longer work. Friend ran back to his truck for a hammer to break the window. Tesla flamed up immediately, he couldn't get within 10 yards it burned so hot. Watched the guy melt inside his car. Said it was unbelievably quick.
ReplyDeleteI'll never ride in one.
