Yep, not sure what is exactly wrong but trying to find out what the actual issue is.

Batteries...in cars meant to be powered by gasoline?

While I agree 100% I am curious what part is actually causing the fires to start. Is it the battery itself, the wiring, a plug? What is causing it? I'm curious to know. I'm still pissed they stopped making the diesels!

We all know what’s wrong. It’s wacko loudmouth extremists getting the media to sensationalize a non-existent problem and politicians looking for publicity jumping on board to ride the frenzy wave and force through legislation regardless of cost to society because it increases their power, media exposure, and wealth, popularity, and not just the politicians, but the media and wackos as well. It opens the door for limitless corruption, all at our expense and suffering. And this is not just EV’s, it’s every green cause, animal rights, protection of swamps, turning tire ruts into protected wetlands, including the one next to your mailbox so you can’t fix your driveway because it is within the 100’ setback required by zoning, and did I mention C19, and 20, 21, it’s like Rocky movies! (No disrespect to Sly intended.)

I could go on but I my beer is empty.
