How many thousands of gallons of water are required to extinguish BEV fires?
How many lbs of heavy metals are released while BEV's roast like marshmallows? (Per Tesla advice of letting BEV fires burn out naturally).
Oh what tales we weave....
How many ice fires last year? 150,000. I think EV fires are much less of a problem.
Dealerships don't love BEV technology because there is so little to fix. No more oil changes, longer lasting brakes, and the like.
How is replacing "bad" ICE vehicles with an equivalent "bad" BEV progress? Especially at a significant financial premium?
We don't know what we "don't know". What is the salvage/recycle plan when replacing BEV lithium batteries (sourced from open pit mining operations) at the "end of life"--or every 10 or so years?
For us that have been around, do remember the promises made by the "alternative energy" elites about clean nuclear energy...problem was not the operations of nuke plants, but what to do with the nuke waste. What is the disposal plan for expired lithium batteries?
Many of us have seen this movie before.
