• EVs present multiple safety problems for the public

    From Flyguy@21:1/5 to All on Sat Sep 23 22:38:22 2023
    The much heavier weight of EVs could cause parking garages to collapse. An EV fire in a parking garage is virtually impossible to fight. They are also a threat to lighter ICE cars in a crash. On top of that, EV owners don't pay for road maintenance and
    construction because they don't pay gas taxes!

    I guess that's why they don't allow full sized pickup trucks to park in decks. Right?

    Trust Sewage Sweeper to seep up some more right-wing miss-information. In reality electric vehicles tend to be 30% heavier than their gasoline-engined equivalents, but there always have been a distribution in vehicle weights, and another 30% extra weight
    in a parking garage is no more likely to cause it to collapse than a sudden influx of SUVs.

    SUVs present the same sort of danger to lighter cars in a car crash, and this hasn't lead to them being banned'

    And the crap about them no paying for road maintenance is just silly - they don't do so at the moment, because there aren't enough of them to matter, but it's just that the responsible authorities haven't yet got around to imposing a road use tax on
    everybody, mainly because they haven't yet sorted out the cheapest and most comprehensive way of doing it.

    My car already get billed for a road use tax on selected roads in Sydney - it's fitted with an active card at the top of the windscreen which beeps when I enter and leave a toll road, and the portal sends me a bill every six months or so. Stick a GPS
    locator in it and it can tell the portal where I've been since I last went through one.

    These infernal things are an absolute menace. It's so easy as a
    pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can't hear it
    coming. I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it's
    probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs (apart
    from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the
    doors so no one can get out.) And we haven't even begun to get to
    grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life
    batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!
    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the
    roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

    weight in a parking garage is no more likely to cause it to collapse than a sudden influx of SUVs.

    In the U.S. the commercial passenger airlines have been estimating the passenger weight load as 150 lbs per person for decades. This is incredibly inaccurate, and the FAA is just now formulating revising the rules. Dunno what's the problem with making
    the passengers stand on a scale. Some idiots will be screaming about invasion of privacy no doubt.


    SUVs present the same sort of danger to lighter cars in a car crash, and this hasn't lead to them being banned'

    The full answer is "it's complicated." The big heavy EVs definitely present a risk to lighter vehicles.

    As heavy EVs proliferate, their weight may be a drag on safety

    https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/as-heavy-evs-proliferate-their-weight-may-be-a-drag-on-safety

    Definitive source on all aspects of safety:

    "The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through
    education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.

    The Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) shares and supports this mission through scientific studies of insurance data representing the human and economic losses resulting from the ownership and operation of different types of vehicles and by publishing
    insurance loss results by vehicle make and model."


    And the crap about them no paying for road maintenance is just silly - they don't do so at the moment, because there aren't enough of them to matter, but it's just that the responsible authorities haven't yet got around to imposing a road use tax on
    everybody, mainly because they haven't yet sorted out the cheapest and most comprehensive way of doing it.

    They do pay road tax in U.S. in the form of a registration tax that accounts for the low fuel use of the vehicle as a function of make and model. Even hybrids have been paying the additional tax for some time. The registration process requires an
    odometer reading, so the authorities can gauge quite accurately the amount of road use.

    Looks like the morons in the OP's state are just now getting around to doing the same thing:

    These infernal things are an absolute menace. It's so easy as a pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can't hear it coming.

    They seem to have been required to incorporate a audible noise source just to deal with this, at least in some juristictions.

    I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it's probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs (apart from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the
    doors so no one can get out.) And we haven't even begun to get to grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!

    Electric batteries don't "spontaneously combust". Self-discharge does get worse as they get older, and that does warm the battery.

    Electric cars do have built-in battery managements systems which do monitor the temperature of the battery core and the battery surface.

    If the self-heating gets bad enough to get the battery core up to about 120C, they can go into thermal run-away, when the self heating is high enough make self-discharge dramatically worse.
    but the battery management will have been flashing lights and sounding the horn long before that. The owner can can ignore it, but the event isn't "spontaneous".

    Flyguy seems to suffer from the same kind of ignorant alarmism about battereis.

    Actually getting rid of battery at it's end of life isn't difficult. The full name is "a battery of cells" and the individual cells aren't large, so you just dismantle the battery and send the cells off to be recycled, in whatever bite-sized chunks suit
    you and recycler. Much less of a problem than an internal combustion engine block.

    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the roads and the production of any more shut down world-wide.

    Cursitor Doom is a menace and needs to removed from the internet before anybody takes him seriously. Perhaps we could settle for a government health warming - this poster no grasp of reality and a passion for for fatuous fairy tales - but it probably
    wouldn't be enough.

    The battery in a Tesla Model 3 long range weighs less than 500kg which is typical for the larger ones.

    Probably 1400 pounds for most EVs.

    My Leaf battery #1 is 400kg/700 pounds, #2 is 40kg/100 pounds, #3 is 14kg/30 pounds, #4 is 10kg/20 pounds.

    Not even 1400lbs for most EVs

    The Tesla Model Y (the most popular EV) has a battery weight of 445kg/979lb.

    It wouldn't. He proudly explained how he'd done exactly that - or what he though t was exactly that - to investigate the reality of anthropogenic global warming.

    What he did was put together a third of a ton of obsolete documents, mostly from the 1890's, presenting erratic results that he could cherry pick to support his lunatic idea that atmospheric CO2 levels aren't actually rising, and he's ignored all the
    modern data on the grounds that it has been produced by a grand conspiracy of all the climate scientists around the world to delude the public.

    Whitewashing and cover-ups can only work for so long. In the fullness of time, you'll see the truth emerge......

    Of course black-washing and invention - which is what Cursitor Doom is doing - is ineffective even in the short term because it is obviously nonsense.

    Not the "reality" that Cursitor Doom has decided to invent.

    The fact of the matter is that there is an incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.

    But one that is likely to stay incipient forever, like the rest of Cursitor Doom's bogus prophecies.

    And it will become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.

    Since there's absolutely no sign of any "incipient environmental catastrophe" this is just another of of Cursitor Doom's bogus prophecies.

    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

    Seriously, malicious clowns like Cursitor Doom should be taken off the Internet, or a least subject to crushing charges for posting dangerous misinformation and pretending that it has any factual basis,

    It's fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.

    Cursitor Doom does enjoy his little delusions. In his mind he isn't a demented right-winger spouting absurd nonsense because he enjoys the frisson of being totally fatuous.

    You and that conspicuous idiot Bill Sloman are the only kooks ignoring the reality of the situation here.

    5% of the population needs psychiatric help and Cursitor Doom is part of that small but noisy faction. One of his more fatuous delusiuon is that he and the rest of the Daily Mail reading minority are actually part of a silent majority who share their
    flagrantly silly ideas.

    You mark my words: the disposal of EV batteries will be the next BIG ISSUE going forward. MARK MY WORDS....

    Actually the real safety problem with EVs s that they tend to make right-wing lunatics run around like headless chickens, broadcasting their groundless anxieties at the tops of their voices.

    Right-winger don't like any change at in society at all, unless it is presented to them as the restoration of some mythical golden age. Real golden ages don't hack it - people can find out what was wrong with them.

    These infernal things are an absolute menace. It's so easy as a
    pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can't hear it
    coming.

    If you can't hear an EV coming, it's because you are deaf. It was a couple of years ago, they required EVs to make noise equivalent to an ICE when driving at parking lot speeds. On the road, tires make as much noise as a car engine.
    I don't give a damn how much noise they don't make on the highway. The
    fact is in Yurp they're as silent as the grave - which is where any unfortunate pedestrian who enounters one will end up if he's hit by
    one.

    I just explained to you how new EVs all have to make noise at parking lot speeds. Then there is the fact that you are blind, since you should be looking where you are going. It's not all up to the driver of the car to avoid the pedestrians who walk in
    front of him.


    I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it's
    probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs

    Which is not supported by any facts.
    Perhaps not in your neck of the woods, but hereabouts it's certainly
    the case.


    (apart
    from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the
    doors so no one can get out.)

    Again, not supported by the facts.
    Bloody well is! I have posted several links to Teslas bursting into
    flames and cooking their passengers whose egress from the
    conflagration (and it *is* a conflagration, believe me) was prevented
    by the doors automatically locking them inside.

    The doors don't "lock". My doors have a mechanical handle. I can open them at any time. Please stop lying about this.


    You know damn well
    this lead to the somewhat tasteless joke about a "free cremation for
    every new owner" going the rounds a while ago.
    And we haven't even begun to get to
    grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life
    batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!

    Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it's one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the materialnside

    Er, no, sorry. That's the line spouted by the manufacturers but it's
    not the actual reality. The fact of the matter is that there is an
    incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.

    Yes!!! We are very much aware of climate change caused by the massive emissions of CO2, largely by autos.


    And it will
    become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now
    that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.

    The "first generation" of EVs sold in the 10's of thousands per year. The Nissan leaf sold 100,000 a year at some point. The Tesla model 3 is the first car to sell in significant volumes and started shipping in 2018. So you are a long way off, as is
    any "crisis" in recycling the batteries. You need to keep in mind that these batteries aren't tossed when they reach 70% capacity. They are simply removed from automotive use and put into stationary applications.


    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the
    roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

    It's fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.
    You and that conspicuous idiot Bill Sloman are the only kooks ignoring
    the reality of the situation here. You mark my words: the disposal of
    EV batteries will be the next BIG ISSUE going forward. MARK MY
    WORDS....

    You are pretty funny. When will this catastrophe happen?

    How many tires does your car go through? What is the volume and weight of those tires? What the hell do they do with all of them? God forbid they catch on fire. They never get put out. Even if not on fire, they hold water and create mosquito
    breeding grounds. But you don't seem to think they are a problem.

    No, of course not. You just get a hard on anytime you can complain about an EV.

    They do not weigh 1400kg.
    Probably 1400 pounds for most EVs.

    Not "most" EVs. Only the longest range EVs. There may be larger batteries in some of the monster pickups. But pickups are always monster these days, weight tons (literally) in all models.


    My Leaf battery #1 is 400kg/700 pounds, #2 is 40kg/100 pounds, #3 is 14kg/30 pounds, #4 is 10kg/20 pounds.

    I think your Leaf is no longer considered an EV. You probably would get better range by using AA batteries. These days, it's more of a paperweight.

    Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it's one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the materialnside

    Er, no, sorry. That's the line spouted by the manufacturers but it's
    not the actual reality. The fact of the matter is that there is an incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.
    Yes!!! We are very much aware of climate change caused by the massive emissions of CO2, largely by autos.

    road transport about 30% of global CO2 emmissions, cars about half of those 30%

    And it will
    become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now
    that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.
    The "first generation" of EVs sold in the 10's of thousands per year. The Nissan leaf sold 100,000 a year at some point. The Tesla model 3 is the first car to sell in significant volumes and started shipping in 2018. So you are a long way off, as is
    any "crisis" in recycling the batteries. You need to keep in mind that these batteries aren't tossed when they reach 70% capacity. They are simply removed from automotive use and put into stationary applications.
    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the
    roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

    It's fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.

    You are pretty funny. When will this catastrophe happen?

    How many tires does your car go through? What is the volume and weight of those tires? What the hell do they do with all of them? God forbid they catch on fire. They never get put out. Even if not on fire, they hold water and create mosquito breeding
    grounds. But you don't seem to think they are a problem.

    They do not weigh 1400kg.
    Probably 1400 pounds for most EVs.
    Not "most" EVs. Only the longest range EVs. There may be larger batteries in some of the monster pickups. But pickups are always monster these days, weight tons (literally) in all models.
    My Leaf battery #1 is 400kg/700 pounds, #2 is 40kg/100 pounds, #3 is 14kg/30 pounds, #4 is 10kg/20 pounds.
    I think your Leaf is no longer considered an EV. You probably would get better range by using AA batteries. These days, it's more of a paperweight.

    These infernal things are an absolute menace. It's so easy as a
    pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can't hear it
    coming.

    If you can't hear an EV coming, it's because you are deaf. It was a couple of years ago, they required EVs to make noise equivalent to an ICE when driving at parking lot speeds. On the road, tires make as much noise as a car engine.
    I don't give a damn how much noise they don't make on the highway. The fact is in Yurp they're as silent as the grave - which is where any unfortunate pedestrian who enounters one will end up if he's hit by
    one.
    I just explained to you how new EVs all have to make noise at parking lot speeds. Then there is the fact that you are blind, since you should be looking where you are going. It's not all up to the driver of the car to avoid the pedestrians who walk
    in front of him.
    I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it's
    probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs

    Which is not supported by any facts.
    Perhaps not in your neck of the woods, but hereabouts it's certainly

    Trust Sewage Sweeper to seep up some more right-wing miss-information. In reality electric vehicles tend to be 30% heavier than their gasoline-engined equivalents, but there always have been a distribution in vehicle weights, and another 30% extra
    weight in a parking garage is no more likely to cause it to collapse than a sudden influx of SUVs.

    Hey Bozo, EV SUVs will be 30% heavier than their ICE counterparts. And you present ZERO data that SUVs are heavier than passenger cars (as is usual for your bloviation). What the industry calls a "SUV" is nothing more that a 4WD car with a hatchback.


    SUVs present the same sort of danger to lighter cars in a car crash, and this hasn't lead to them being banned'

    Ditto on your total lack of supporting data.


    And the crap about them no paying for road maintenance is just silly - they don't do so at the moment, because there aren't enough of them to matter, but it's just that the responsible authorities haven't yet got around to imposing a road use tax on
    everybody, mainly because they haven't yet sorted out the cheapest and most comprehensive way of doing it.

    Hey Bozo, this is FACT, not fiction. What happens in the future DOES NOT change what is happening NOW.


    My car already get billed for a road use tax on selected roads in Sydney - it's fitted with an active card at the top of the windscreen which beeps when I enter and leave a toll road, and the portal sends me a bill every six months or so. Stick a GPS
    locator in it and it can tell the portal where I've been since I last went through one.

    That is called a "toll road" fool, which represents a VERY SMALL percentage of the total roadways.

    https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/average-weight-of-a-car

    But that does make them heavier. A four wheel drive is a heavier and lossier transmission system than you need for a two wheel drive vehicle, and tend to come with a more powerful and heavier engine.
    The evidence is so readily available that providing a link would be patronising the reader. You are an exceptionally stupid reader, and I supposed I should have made an exception for you.

    And - idiot that you are - you have missed the main point that vehicles come in a range of weights. and parking garages have to be designed to cope with worst cases situations plus a margin of error.

    SUVs present the same sort of danger to lighter cars in a car crash, and this hasn't lead to them being banned'

    Ditto on your total lack of supporting data.

    As if an intelligent reader wound need it.

    Hey Bozo, this is FACT, not fiction. What happens in the future DOES NOT change what is happening NOW.

    Parking garages aren't collapsing under the extra weight of EVs now, nor are EV's destroying lighter cars in accidents. You were complaining about what you imagine might happen in the future - you can't reasonably insist that I restrict myself to the
    present when you don't. Of course "reasoning" is something you used to be able to do.

    That is called a "toll road", which represents a VERY SMALL percentage of the total roadways.

    But even you should be able to work out that the system is capable of extension. The obiquitous mobile phone network now offers all sort of possibiiities for tax collection which haven't yet been exploited.,

    I guess that's why they don't allow full sized pickup trucks to park in decks. Right?

    No, it is because they are too tall to fit in parking garages. EVs, OTOH, can park in ANY parking garage. And, if the likes of that senile pervert Lyin' Biden get their way, they will represent the majority of cars in said garages.

    I drove a 4x4 pickup for 20 years and don't recall once not being able to enter a parking structure.

    I think it's you that lies.

    According to the book "The Disappearing Act: The Impossible Case of MH370":

    - Peter Chong, whom I met a year later during another assignment in Kuala Lumpur, was a friend of the missing pilot and had initially been told that the plane had crashed in the Gulf of Thailand. Flying business class on Malaysia Airlines on his way back
    from Bangkok on the evening of Monday, 10 March, he asked the air hostesses to convey his condolences to the pilots of his own flight. ‘I just wanted to express my solidarity in these trying circumstances,’ he explained to me. To his very great
    surprise, a message scribbled on a paper napkin came back to him a few minutes later. In the note, which he tucked away for safekeeping, the captain thanked him and added, ‘Wreckage to your left’. At the time, the plane was flying over the southern
    part of the Gulf of Thailand. Peter Chong peered out the window and saw a clearly lit area at sea where he said he was able to make out intensive search operations. Chong took this as evidence that, ‘at that stage, Malaysia Airlines believed the plane
    to have gone down in that area and had informed its crews’.

    Pictures of small batteries without proper battery monitoring blowing up aren't evidence that they blow up spontaneously without any prior warning.

    People don't post anything about the prior warnings they didn't understand or merely ignored. The object isn't going to get photographed until it doing something dramatic, and the photographer isn't going to advertise the stupidity that let the batter
    get into that state.

    significant self-heating.

    Then why are people dying?

    "4 Killed In Latest NYC E-Bike Fire As Officials Warn About Dangerous Batteries"

    Cheap e-bikes don't always have good battery monitoring systems and idiot owners have been known to ignore good advice.

    Some of it is just evolution in action, as stupid people win Darwin Awards for taking themselves out of the gene pool.
    Flyguy hasn't made it yet.

    If you had actually read the report you'd be aware that the battery had been taken out of the car sometime before it caught fire.

    Why a detached battery had been left there hasn't yet been explained, but presumably there were issues with the battery that had lead to it being taken out if the car. The idiot owner issue may turn out to be an element in the incident.

    The Australian Spectator is written for right-wing lunatic by right-wing lunatics. Rather like the UK Daily Mail, but an Australian version.

    The picture at the head of the article is of an E-bike shop that doesn't seem to have been an Australian establishment, and the article repeats your favourite myth about lithium batteries going into thermal runway without prior warning, which doesn't
    happen to be true. Sufficiently idiotic owners can ignore the prior warning but that is a different issue.

    That little thing? The really odd part is, the battery was not in the car when it caught fire. WTF???

    https://insideevs.com/news/392047/bloomberg-ev-fire-cause-diesel/

    This was initially reported to have started as an EV fire. They corrected it later to say it was a diesel car that first caught fire. Hundreds of cars and the airport was shut down. Diesels are dangerous!

    There's not a single renewable power source out there for which recycling/ disposal/ demonstration research is not being conducted. Solar panels will probably add up to more than EV battery packs. Criterion for successful recycling is that the final
    cost of precious metals extracted shall not be in excess of the newly mined and processed resource. That makes sense to me. And they're hitting the target every time.

    Life would be easier for you if you investigate the actual facts of whatever it is causing you so much anxiety.

    Whitewashing and cover-ups can only work for so long. In the fullness of time, you'll see the truth emerge......

    Cursitor Doom is more into black-washing and absurd allegations. He's convinced that they work and he puts a lot of effort into posting misleading (if obviously absurd) misinformation.

    Sadly, his magnum opus - his "proof" that climate change isn't actually happening - depended on the erratic results of some very dubious numbers published in the 1890's which he has cherry-picked to trump Charles Keeling much more thorough work. He
    should have taken it to the Edinburgh Festival as contribution to the theatre of the absurd.

    Sewage Sweeper might have noted that "lithium battery fires" includes stuff like mobile phones and cheap electric bikes and scooters going up in flames because their idiot owners weren't paying attention.
    Cars are big enough and expensive enough to include proper battery condition monitoring (though idiots like Sewage Sweeper and Cursitor Doom would probably ignore any warnings that weren't loud enough to upset the neighbours as well).

    Sewage Sweeper is a right-wing lunatic, and as such he's much too stupid to be worth rebutting. He just "translates" the rebuttal into the message he wants to hear, and ignores message that he couldn't manage to understand.

    https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/transportation/growing-electric-vehicle-sales-bring-concerns-over-safety-hazards

    These infernal things are an absolute menace. It's so easy as a
    pedestrian to get hit by one passing by because you can't hear it
    coming.

    If you can't hear an EV coming, it's because you are deaf. It was a couple of years ago, they required EVs to make noise equivalent to an ICE when driving at parking lot speeds. On the road, tires make as much noise as a car engine.

    I don't give a damn how much noise they don't make on the highway. The fact is in Yurp they're as silent as the grave - which is where any unfortunate pedestrian who encounters one will end up if he's hit by one.

    I just explained to you how new EVs all have to make noise at parking lot speeds. Then there is the fact that you are blind, since you should be looking where you are going. It's not all up to the driver of the car to avoid the pedestrians who walk
    in front of him.

    I note that aspect is missing from the article yet it's probably one of the most important safety issues regarding EVs

    Which is not supported by any facts.

    Perhaps not in your neck of the woods, but hereabouts it's certainly the case.

    Cursitor Doom is very fond of his fatuous nonsense, He even imagines that it is true.

    (apart from the fact that they spontaneously combust whilst locking all the doors so no one can get out.)

    Again, not supported by the facts.

    Bloody well is! I have posted several links to Teslas bursting into flames and cooking their passengers whose egress from the conflagration (and it *is* a conflagration, believe me) was prevented by the doors automatically locking them inside.

    Cursitor Doom's imaginary links are like Flyguy's - they don't say what he seems to think they say and he prefers to claim that he has posted them rather than reposting the actual links

    The doors don't "lock". My doors have a mechanical handle. I can open them at any time. Please stop lying about this.

    You know damn well this lead to the somewhat tasteless joke about a "free cremation for every new owner" going the rounds a while ago.

    In the media that caters for right-wing lunatics, by broad-casting their favouirite delusions.

    And we haven't even begun to get to grips with the environmental cost of dealing with end-of-life batteries for these things, which can easily weigh 1400kg a piece!

    Not sure which vehicle you are talking about. My model X has a 540 kg battery and it's one of the largest EVs on the road. EV batteries are recycled, first by using them as batteries in stationary applications, then by using the materia lnside

    Er, no, sorry. That's the line spouted by the manufacturers but it's not the actual reality. The fact of the matter is that there is an incipient environmental catastrophe unfolding right now.

    Yes!!! We are very much aware of climate change caused by the massive emissions of CO2, largely by autos.

    road transport about 30% of global CO2 emissions, cars about half of those 30%.

    Lots of emissions will go away when we stop generating electricity by burning fossil carbon. Fossil-fuel powered vehicles have to be replaced.

    And it will become increasingly difficult for people like yourself to ignore now that the first generation of these EVs are reaching end of life.

    The "first generation" of EVs sold in the 10's of thousands per year. The Nissan leaf sold 100,000 a year at some point. The Tesla model 3 is the first car to sell in significant volumes and started shipping in 2018. So you are a long way off, as is
    any "crisis" in recycling the batteries. You need to keep in mind that these batteries aren't tossed when they reach 70% capacity. They are simply removed from automotive use and put into stationary applications.

    Seriously, these things are a menace and need to be taken off the roads and production of any more shut down world-wide.

    Nobody sane is going to take Cursitor Doomn seriously.

    It's fortunate that you stand alone in this idea, other than a few other kooks.

    You and that conspicuous idiot Bill Sloman are the only kooks ignoring the reality of the situation here.

    The rational majority is rather more numerous than that, but most of them have enough sense not to post here.

    You mark my words: the disposal of EV batteries will be the next BIG ISSUE going forward. MARK MY WORDS....

    You've earned an F - for fatuous.

    You are pretty funny. When will this catastrophe happen?

    How many tires does your car go through? What is the volume and weight of those tires? What the hell do they do with all of them? God forbid they catch on fire. They never get put out. Even if not on fire, they hold water and create mosquito breeding
    grounds. But you don't seem to think they are a problem.

    Tire manufacturer says EVs use tires about 30% faster that ICE cars.

    EV's are typically 30% heavier than ICE cars.
