Is It Time to Ban Electric Vehicles? | Frontpage Mag

I really dislike EVs on principle...expensive in terms of resources to produce and a hazzard as well-
The New York Fire Department recently reported that so far this year there have been 108 lithium-ion battery fires in New York City, which have injured 66 people and killed 13. According to FDNY Commissioner Laura Kavanagh, “There is not a small amount of fire, it (the vehicle) literally explodes.” The resulting fire is “very difficult to extinguish and so it is particularly dangerous.”

Last year there were more than 200 fires from batteries from e-bikes, EVs and other devices.
A fire ignited at an e-bike shop and killed four people near midnight on the morning of June 20. Two individuals were left in critical condition. The fire commissioner has warned New Yorkers that such devices could be very dangerous and typically explode in such a way that renders escape impossible.

Wouldn't hurt my little feelings any Brother Dale.

Personally, I think EV's will prove to be a niche item. They are very material intensive and I don't believe there will ever be enough charging stations to fill the needs of users/drivers.
