No noise, no vibration, no local air pollution (we literally call our ICE car the "Stinky" car), almost no running costs because I use excess solar, never have to go to a petrol station. Although they are expensive, but the tax payer gave me one for free. Not for everyone of course, horses for courses. But definitely not LOL. |

I’ll see you all in the distant future, when EVs will STILL not have “taken over”, and they’ll STILL be adamant it “will happen, it’s got to, it’s just a matter of time” 🤣 Live the dream chaps, that’s all it’s gonna be. |

Oh, it's unlokia again. That explains that. |

Commercial trucks are disproportionally a larger percent of those fires. https://www.warpnews.org/transportation/fewer-fires-in-electric-cars-compared-to-fossil-fueled-cars-in-the-worlds-country-with-the-highest-share-of-electric-cars/ https://rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/29438.pdf https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/9671 --- End quote --- what makes hybrid cars safer than gasoline cars? they have all the complexity of a gas, and electric.. in one?! me thinks a simple failure of applying the number of vehicles in existence.. to generate salacious claim of 7-40 times more likely. -there are how many hundreds of times more gas cars on the roads? i can't even remember a news article mentioning a gasoline or diesel car fire. |
