Amazing the stuff people figured out before computers...

Interesting you are telling me to come to the discussion with "logic and facts", how come you haven't said the same over and over for the endless articles or "fear of fire"? I have yet to see any data showing that an EV is any more dangerous than an ICE. I have never said the EV is more or less dangerous. Quote:

Have there been no battery fires on airplanes? Yes, there have, some fatal. Numerous ones have caused emergency landings and serious injuries. And these are just small batteries. They are now a safety regulated hazardous cargo. Just like other hazardous things. |

That one isn't far off though. People were losing their **** years ago when Toyota introduced the Prius...with a BATTERY. There was no shortage of predictions of terror and apocalypse due to this, with projections of dead Priuses everywhere, how it would fail completely, how they couldn't be repaired, how it was going to take their jerbs, etc. People are losing their **** again. Calm down honey, it's not going to change overnight, you'll be ok.

Yes, they are both dangerous. most of us here already know that. Thing is, gas tanks don't start themselves on fire, batteries can and do. |

That's a real green mentality there. And those that prefer to keep cars past 100k are typically ones that don't care to be burning money needlessly.

yea disposable society. Let's just make a rule all these EV's get shipped to 3rd world countries after the end of the lease so they can figure out how to "recycle" them. Out of sight, out of mind, we all still get to feel so green.

How many ICE car shipments do catch fire spontaneously vs the whole number of shipments? I don't think it's directly proportional to that 0,84%, if it makes sense, otherwise there would be roughly one cargo fire a day.. Yeah, it's the number of evs on a single shipment so it's just an assumption that it would translate to the hypotetical ICE/EVs shipment numbers if split up, but it won't be that far imho Last edited by PhaceN52; 07-26-2023 at 10:21 AM.. |

I am not defending EV's as being safer, just waiting to see proof they aren't before I make a decision on it.

Recall was initiated after .011% caught fire. Note that if instead of 16 catching fire it had been 1410 it would have been 1% of them. If you come up with any data that EV's are more dangerous than ICE's please post it. Quote:
