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

100k car fires happen on the highway every year. Just the highway.

You think this is interstate arson?

Or is it the obvious reason.... Car wrecks with gas engines

 

[wilberforce15]

Again you dodge the issue.

My stats showed >100k car fires on the interstate system.

You think it's people torching interstate cars.

It's wrecks with gas engines. This is very, very, very easy. And it's a direct answer.

Arson isn't an interstate thing

Lithium batteries combusting have brought down jets. Like ICE vehicles it's not likely to happen but can happen.

I'll take silence as acknowledgement that another poster has discovered I'm right.

You think six figures of cars every year are torched? Are you from Detroit or something? It's silly. It's stupid.

Minor accidents and old wiring cause dozens of fires every single day.

Do you not understand this?? Ev's by far due to percentages, catch fire more then gas vehicles.

These are only the cars that are traveling on the road. The whole thing about parked cars. Is way more interesting.

Looking at that chart it's per 100,000 sold. So EV's catch fire a lot less. Also looking at that chart only a little over 200,000 EV's had been sold. Would like to see more up to date info.

Not sure where they're getting their numbers from.

The number of US electric vehicles grows from 16K to 2 million in 10 years

Also in 2020, the US produced almost four times as much clean electricity from solar and wind as in 2011, according to a new report.

How many of those cars were torched on purpose?

Good point

 

[wilberforce15]

Good point

Why do you think it's a good point?
You think a meaningful portion of >100k interstate fires were torched on purpose?

It's a point only from desperation. It's simply silly.
Car wrecks make fires with gas engines. Hundreds of thousands of times.

Why would you doubt them?
Sales numbers are easy to get, as these are all publicly traded companies that disclose such things in earnings updates.

And we can track it anyway with state license information, as every state tracks numbers of registered by make/model.
Profoundly desperate.

These numbers are easy to get.

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.

You totally missed the point there

That would be your fault for not making one, and leaving us to guess what you're even trying to say.

Lol! Doubtful

When I talked a bout fires, I meant spontaneous fires, for no reason. He doesn’t seem to get that, or want to admit it.

So you admit that gas engines are a much greater fire risk, but you only want to talk about a very limited kind of fire? Because you're that desperate? Okay.
Spontaneous fires while sitting aren't tracked. But it's simple ignorance not to know that gas causes more of those too. How many times have you heard a starter start grinding without the key in?

Maybe I'm the only one with an old vehicle. I've had spontaneous fires, because we're rednecks that have old trucks. Electrical problems are super common, and random combustion is way more common with gas.

This isn't hard. You're just desperate.

The po in it was, an ev drivetrain is wonderful, until you get to the battery part, lol. Where it will cost you 22000.00 to replace when needed. It’s not my fault your not smart enough to see the point being made sir.

If you're talking about a battery, why did you post a motor? lol. Stupid.

And the battery replacement cost on a new EV is zero.

It won't be replaced.

A new study has some surprising findings on car fires

A new analysis from an auto insurance company compared rates of fires among EVs, combustion-engine cars, and hybrids. These are the results.

www.popsci.com

Paul Christensen, a professor in the School of Engineering at Newcastle University in England, studies the issue of electric vehicle fires and acts as an advisor on the topic to emergency responders. “At the moment, I believe that spontaneous fires are less likely to occur in electric vehicles than they do in conventional, diesel or petrol vehicles,” he says. “But the problem we have is that the data collection has been very patchy—and we don’t have sufficient data as of yet.”

Van a hybrid is an ev. Most ev's have small motors to add an additional amount of miles..

That's like taking this as fact.


Tesla claims that gasoline-powered cars are about 11 times more likely to catch fire as opposed to a Tesla.
