Pretty much every EV thread is full of bullshit statements from EV Haters without any evidence to back them up, and when anyone asks for a citation they say lame shit like "I don't provide links" or "do your own research." |

There is an aspect of this that is possibly not being considered.
How about the fact that the gasoline cars that are catching on fire are still ELECTRICAL fires? It is being assumed that the gas itself is why the numbers are higher. |

PLUS, once my ICE gets low on fuel, I can replenish the tank in mere minutes instead of hours. Your "math" does not work for me. |

Laptop EVs are a nice first attempt at a modern reinterpretation, but ultimately, real people (not religious assholes) want to fill er up in 5 minutes, not 5 hours. Thus, GM just joined Honda for their hydrogen powered EV car, the Clarity. Top Gear's hosts announced that it is the real solution about 15 years ago, and they were correct. Hybrids are the best compromise for now, while countries decide if they wish to install hydrogen filling stations like Honda has done in California. Bottom line, if we can fill er up in 5 minutes.......it'll likely gain acceptance with the masses. If not.......**** off. |

An ICE car fire is easily extinguished. An EV fire is NOT easily extinguished. In fact, even after it seems to be extinguished, it can relight itself again and again and again for days upon days. And that's not the biggest issue - an ICE fire burns at around 1000F or so. HOT, right? Sure! However, that pales in comparison to the average heat of an EV fire - at 5000F is exponentially more dangerous, especially if near any structures. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - laptop battery EVs are ****ing garbage. Inside of 10 years, you won't see but a few on the roads. |

Happy to help in anyway. As I went through all the customer service reps and their crap from 2021 to 2023. Took me 2 years to get out of my Jeep. And I had issues day 2 of ownership. But my dealings is a story for another day. |

Facts are not on the side of EV bashers when it comes to fires. A gas car is many times more likely to catch fire. This is a fact. You can deny that fact just like you can deny that Jews were killed in the holocoust. That won't make it true. |

From a fire risk perspective, the chance to die in an EV fire is significantly lower than to die in a gas car fire. In most cases, there is plenty of chance to get away from the car in case of EV fires compared to gas car fire because once fuel ignites, it's hard to get away. Could the collateral property damage be higher with an EV fire? Sure, not denying that. However, risk of losing your life in an EV fire are much lower than in a gas car fire. There are cases where people died in their car just because they didn't read the manual on how to manually open the door. They had more than enough time to get out had they known that there is a manual door release. |

Technology already exists to charge over 500 miles in 10 minutes. It just takes time to mass produce it. Storedot, a Israeli company which may be the first company with their extreme fast charging long range batteries to hit the market. Polestar has a contract with Storedot to use their batteries by I believe 2027.

Are you okay with government FORCING EVs on us, and regulating IC vehicles out of existence? -- as is currently going on. Why do you think politicians, world-wide, are so interested in pushing this? I am not okay with government forcing anything on me. RED: What is it we're trying to solve, that needs a "solution"? We are not running out of oil nor out of energy, and "for the environment" is just a canard, an emotional tool to push a radical political agenda. |

I’m glad you’re mostly fine and were able to get out of the Jeep. Hopefully they will come through. I wonder if the B2B warranty is still intact? If not, I wonder if they’ll still do everything to make it right.
