“According to a Tesla Model 3 emergency response guide, it can take 24 hours to extinguish an EV battery fire. When it’s safe to do so, the automaker recommends allowing the battery to burn.”

Firefighters try new way to smother hard-to extinguish EV fires, tossing big blanket over vehicle

Electric vehicle fires use 40 times more water to put out than burning gas-powered cars, so firefighters are looking for other technologies that can help extinguish a burning EV.

Once they get rid of range anxiety what are they going to do about rage at the chargers for how long it takes to charge up a battery?

So will the new chargers accept EBT?

I say free electricity for everybody!

Does that include E-bikes?

As long as they use the bike paths.

What's the price of scrap copper these days? Also if you cut the cord on one of these chargers will you get shocked? Asking for a friend up north.

Nah. Wrap the handles of your cutters with electrical tape. I'd say you're good to go.

Did they build gas stations when we were transferring horses to cars?

Just how big were those cars?? I mean, my dog takes up over half my back seat. I can't imagine transferring a horse to my car.

In business sense, the word "Invest" is incorrectly used, as there never was a recoop of expense or profit, even after taxpayer subsidies. In a common sense wording, the line should read " GM backtracks on joe bidens green energy agenda after wasting billions"

The product was far from being mass marketed when they went full speed ahead. Should have spent those billions on R&D, not marketing. Maybe a more realistic mass product could have been developed and sold at a profit.

You can fit 2 mini horses in the back of a minivan though.

I follow what you are saying and agree that the technology can be used.

The GM electromotive engines reliably have done the job for decades. They do drink diesel oil in huge qualities and weight a bunch over 200 Tons. Even scaled down, the diesel generator driving electric motors system makes a very heavy piece of equipment.

The goal of the electric push was to "go Green" without fossil fuels. That religion is all smoke and mirrors. The greenies are not responsible enough to look at the whole picture that includes mining, manufacturing, power generation and long term hazardous disposal. All they choose to understand is tail pipe, tail pipe, tail pipe, "no tail pipe"

Every media source and teacher that pumps these kids up on electric cars being totally green, should have to stand at the loading area of a power station.

They should watch over 100 rail cars of coal be unloaded for each days power generation. Sadly most will never put the two and two together.

Must have been free charging available there, or something.
