Only 5% of next car purchasers expect to buy all electric cars-Road and Track.

I’ve never heard of any where they just spontaneously blow up. I’ve heard of half a dozen electric ones do just that in their short life span thus far.

I can't account for what you have and haven't heard. I'm not responsible for your bubble.
Electrical shorts and leaking gas are major culprits. It's incredibly common. The rate is far higher than EV's. You just hear about EV's because it makes the news, and lots of people have a financial interest in playing that up.

Electric Vehicles Catch Fire Considerably Less Than Gas Cars

With recent electric vehicle fires, such as the ones with the Chevy Bolt, you might think that EVs are more prone to fires than gas-powered cars. However, as a recent study shows, the opposite is true.

Gas engines are a much greater fire risk and don't last as long.

Mine lasts longer. There’s Toyota, then there’s everything else.

No, it doesn't. Electric motors have one moving part and EV's generally have no transmission.
List the top ten things that might break and disable a gas car, and the EV doesn't even have those parts.

Lol, I don’t really think that’s true. That is not their only problem however. When the battery dies or doesn’t hold a charge long enough to be useful, the car is junk, you have to buy a new one because of the outlandish price of replacing the battery. So far they are not even close to being reliable enough to overtake the combustion engine.

I don’t care how many moving parts there are. If it’s zero degrees outside and a 40mph wind…. I want my Toyota to climb into vs that heap of electrical .

There is no price for replacing the battery, because it is not replaced if you buy a new one.
We have the numbers. There are 120k vehicle fires just on the highways. 250k a year overall. They're almost entirely gas. They just don't make the news.

so you want the one with a lot more torque and horsepower? you want the one that can heat instantly?

So you want the electric?

Yes, there are accidents that take place that cause vehicle fires. I’m talking about spontaneous combustion of these electric cars. I’ve heard of it happen a few times to teslas.

No, neither. I want the one that I know is going to start. Everytime.

This guy begs to differ, lol, garbage.

Aftermarket electric motor setup for pick ups. Just add $20,000 worth of batteries and controls.

Lol, it sounds good when they just talk about the drivetrain. Then they start talking batteries…

So, you’re not denying it
Gotcha

So you're too stupid to realize you're stupid.
Gotcha.

You do understand that 1 is less than 250,000? Right?

It'll cost 50k+ to modify, the computers won't work, you won't have heat or a/C, and you'll have 100 miles of range.

EVs aren't all that easy to build or modify.

Yes, and an EV is at much lower fire risk.

Yeah, those gas powered cars are catching fire everywhere….Lol
