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

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
The only way to ensure that the fire will go out , is to cut off the air supply.
Forget about using water, just bury the darn thing in concrete.
We had one particular Tesla fire in Phoenix where they thought it was out and called the tow truck. They get in on the tow and it reignited.

Let that sink in. You can only come to one conclusion, the left is either completely brainwashed or completely insane.
Let's see how the facts line up.
EVs use rare earth materials that are rare and expensive.
Very little of an EV can be recycled, mostly just the batteries.
In order to recharge the battery , one must have access to a power grid.
The power grid will fail if every vehicle was an EV.
Since we have what amounts to a third world country's distribution system.
And there are very few plans in the works to upgrade the power plants being used.
Sure it doesn't pollute but the manufacturing process does.
Along with the costs to move all the parts needed to build an EV.
And since each EV is built to order, there are so few spare parts made, which results in waiting months or longer to have an EV repaired.

Or that junk yard that burnt down which was caused by a junked EV that had been flooded by water months earlier and was just sitting in the yard waiting to be recycled.

Rivian is laying off 10% of its salaried workforce in a bid to cut costs in an increasingly tough market for electric vehicles, putting even more pressure on its future, more affordable EV called the R2. A limited number of non-manufacturing hourly employees will also be cut, founder and CEO RJ Scaringe said in a companywide email.

This is the third round of layoffs for the EV company since July 2022, when Rivian cut 6% of its workforce. The company cut another 6% of jobs in February 2023

WOW

Maine’s Department of Education is reportedly urging school districts to stop using taxpayer-subsidized electric school buses that were purchased within the last year.

The districts reported problems with the new buses, which were supplied by Canada-based Lion Electric Co., last fall, according to CentralMaine.com. The windshields on the buses would leak whenever it rained, as the glass didn’t appear to be securely in place.

A superintendent of one of the several districts that received the buses told CentralMaine.com that concerns about mixing electricity and water from the leaking windshields led them to stop driving some of the buses.

The buses, which cost about $345,000 each, were also sold with misaligned or incorrect lettering on the sides, and other districts have reported broken rivets on the bodies of the vehicles.
