    I have a friend who was a fireman and he said he put out lots of car fires. I asked if he ever saw one explode and he said "nope'. It was routine easy to put out and not very dangerous to deal with. ICEs burn at 4 times the rate of EVs.

    BTW, with Hendon Hooker gone, looks like Tennessee football is going to wallow around the bottom of the SEC standings with Vandy next year.
    Guess thats why the Vols are ranked 14 preseason poll and Milton had 3 TDs against Clemson

    Based on you as an example Tesla owners aren't very smart.

    And how many more ICE vehicles than EV do you think there are? I think you get the message. BTW:The answer is there are about 279.7 million more ICE vehicles than EVs in the US.

    They are a ticking time bomb
    This sort of thing has happened many times. Fire experts still dont seem to be able to come up with a good way to put out EV fires. Not just that, I think I know that they burn very hot and put out lots of toxic fumes....exactly of the sort that might cause cancer.

    This EV thing has not been thought through.

    Well naturally there are more Internally Combustion Engine driven automobiles than EV's in the USA currently.

    It'll be that way for years on years, as not many people can even think of buying a new car in this high inflationary period of high interest rates, and while Detroit only started ramping up their engineering to produce them just a few years back.

    But they are trending, as their sales are doubling and tripling every year now moving forward.

    It's a progression sort of thang!

    EV's were invented even before ICE vehicles. But back before the turn of the century before last, batteries were basically huge tanks full of water, and the vehicles they were in were impractical and dangerously top-heavy having to haul around all that weight and water sloshing around in them. EV's of that era were self-defeating and people like Henry Ford had another idea that matched the times.

    They are typically called Internal Combustion Engines.

    Not strictly true as there are class D extinguishers, not sure how effective they are on EV lithium fires though.

    Are people rooting for electric cars to fail?

    Are we in the 21st century that enamored with late 19th century technology like the internal combustion engine?

    OK, I love the sound of a well tuned gasoline engine as much as anybody, but if the time has come to move on,
    I wouldn't root against the successor.

    EVs are a technological dead end. The future is green hydrogen and ammonia.

    Perhaps you might launch an investigation before speaking.

    Assuming we have a future of any appreciable length.
    I don't know and only marginally care, but I do know this.

    I'm not an environmental scientist, but...people who deny man-made climate change are usually the same same people with opinions that I KNOW are ridiculous.
