Electric Vehicles - dangers of same

and what’s near them.

Articles say that they’re difficult to put out.

It could take a LOT of water (Kinda’ like ‘You’re gonna’ to need a bigger boat!):

I’ve stated in my listing, I don’t allow e-bikes nor e-scooters.

You are spending way too much time on social media. :roll_eyes:

I don’t like EV’s either, but there are still more ICEV’s burning and exploding every day than EV’s.

I bought a Leaf at the end of 2019. Nice range, about 220 miles depending on ambient temp, if you’re using A/C, etc. I put a Level 2 charger in my garage. I don’t advert it, as I would need to leave the garage door open, and we occasionally get nighttime “shoppers” poking about cars and garages here.

Apropos of your decision, I miscalculated. I have family in western Pennsylvania, and it’s about 50 miles out of my range. They’re kind of into fossil fuels around those parts;, chargers have been few and far between.

I didn’t want to deal with the potential to have to stay in a motel some night with the 110v cord dangling from my car through the motel room window.

The chargers are multiplying, but mostly Tesla, and even with their adaptation to charge other cars, won’t work with mine. I unluckily have the CHAdeMO charge port which is headed toward obsolescence. So my car is local; I’ll go 75 miles max.

All that said, I really like it. Although I did have some ICE pickup driver pass and blat black smoke at me after I crossed the line into one of our redder counties. Wasting your own fuel to “own a lib,” what a dummy.

I read an actual study they did, where men who identified with what we’d call “macho” attitudes also were the most likely to mark that they wouldn’t want to drive an EV. So ridiculous.

Karma can be so satisfying, especially when no one is actually physically injured or killed.

It certainly makes me yearn for high fuel prices at times. But I realize that kind of karma always hurts the least able to take the pain the most.
