Stats show that the rate of fires in ICE cars is higher than that of EVs. As you would expect. An ICE car is carrying around a bomb of fuel. There is no doubt or arguing that if an EV catches fire it will burn for a very long time and consume lots of fire dept resources. But again EVs do not catch fire at the rate of ICE cars.

ICE vehicles typically don't spontaneously combust unless there is an active fluid leak and flashpoint causing spark caused by.... electrical. Yes, ICE vehicles do have batteries and electronics.
EV fires are usually caused by thermal run away... which is basically a feedback loop of heat. |

No one is arguing about the legitimacy of EVs, they have their strengths, and like so many of EV enthusiasts have come in here to sing praises, all of you have acknowledge you are speaking from YOUR use case, notice the use of 'I' or 'My' in all your claims, which is fine, but know it comes from YOUR use case, no one else. The thread's 240+ pages have been littered with more than sufficient use case scenarios where an EV does not work, require serious work-arounds, or just won't work for the foreseeable future. Then there's world government more than happy to discuss banning ICE vehicles which is even more idiotic, considering the myriad of things these people in power could actually do to work and reverse climate change instead of putting all their eggs in the EV basket to the benefit of the upper crust of society. Let the free market make its own choice. People also tend to forget, that 7 billion lives exists outside of their own little bubble, and that 'YOUR' use case is not applicable to a lot of people.

California shouldn't make it easier for people to leave CA. The CA exodus is in high gear already. When they do get around to building a fence it won't be to keep people out it will be to keep them in.

You sound like the perfect EV customer. You know what you want and you are not deluded that you're saving the planet. I still have to see any post here suggesting people shouldn't be allowed to buy EV's. Remember that what puts a burr under the saddle of a lot of folks is being forced to make a EV purchase. I suspect you would be pretty angry if you were forced to buy a ICE vehicle. |

Only these ten EVs will qualify for the full federal tax credit in 2024
The rules surrounding the $7,500 federal tax credits for electric vehicles are changing on Jan. 1. Although it helps buyers by allowing dealers to apply the credit as an immediate discount, new restrictions on vehicle manufacturer's suggested retail price and manufacturing will make the shopping list smaller and can drive buyers away from certain brands and models. Only 10 cars are eligible for the full $7,500 tax credit, with one Detroit manufacturer dominating the list. 1. Chevrolet Bolt EV - $26,500 2. Chevrolet Equinox EV - $48,995 3. Ford F-150 Lightning - $49,995 4. Tesla Model 3 Performance - $50,990 5. Chevrolet Silverado - $51,895 6. Tesla Model Y Performance - $52,490 7. Chrysler Pacifica PHEV - $53,425 8. Chevrolet Blazer EV - $60,215 9. Cadillac LYRIQ - $58,590 10. Tesla Model X - $79,990 https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news...3ff2ba19&ei=10 BMW, Audi, and Mercedes are not getting the love. Expect BMW to make EV's in Spartanburg? |

Ford cuts planned 2024 production of electric F-150 Lightning in half
Dec 11 2023 DETROIT — Ford Motor will cut planned production of its all-electric F-150 Lightning pickup roughly in half next year, marking a major reversal after the automaker significantly increased plant capacity for the electric vehicle in 2023. Ford executives have recently said the automaker will match production to demand, as the company cancels or postpones $12 billion in upcoming EV investments. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/11/f-15...s-in-half.html |

I'm fine with EV competing in the open marketplace with ICE. But that's not the case. Tesla has a unique situation because it was able to build a proprietary charging network, which gives it a lead over the CSS charging network. But not every EV manufacturer can have its own proprietary network. I look at the legitimacy of EV under the scenario (use case) as if there was no ability to own an ICEV for long-distance road trips (like many EV owners do). Waiting around to charge any longer than 5 minutes is a non-starter for most people. Charging at home is great and makes EV work for a lot of owners, but not everyone owns a dwelling that can provide private overnight charging. ICEV work for everyone regardless of their living arrangement. Any ICEV can be recharged at any time, everywhere, in 5 minutes. Sure, the EV charging retort is "but it takes just a relaxing 30 minutes and I use the time to eat, shit, and relax." Sure you do because you have to. With ICEV you don't have to. 5 minutes, that's it. Most people do not want to give that option up. I don't need to buy or rent or borrow a friend's EV to figure that out and form a rational opinion. |

^ #5301, I have been in an EV. If it wasn't for the hitlerite order to stop making new gas cars after 2035 then maybe a more eloquent discussion would be taking place.

if and when that day ever comes, you can hate EV's all you want, but it is over a decade away and likely won't ever happen....although battery tech by then will probably surpass 600 mile range EV's, quick charging with lower prices and ICE cars won't need a mandate to be discontinued, they will become less and less attractive to a majority of the buying public and EV's will be a majority of the car sales by then anyway....and it's not like Hitler is going to come take your ICE at midnight on Dec 31st 2034 ICE vehicles will still be on the roads long after all of us are dead and gone |

I've read hours upon hours of EV charging threads on other EV car forums. I've discussed in detail the charging schemes of Tesla ownership with the two people who own the Model 3 and Y. Both are electrical engineers. Both work on a national infrastructure system integration program (I did too along with them). I was a first adopter of the General Electric EV garden tractor in 1973. I have an electric push mower, leaf blower, and chainsaw. I fully understand the EV "thing". The EV cars are range limited and refuel really slow compared to ICEV. The EV lawn equipment is great for short-duration tasks, but ICE lawn equipment run endlessly all day and there is virtually no wait time to refuel. My Echo backpack leafblower runs 3 hours on a tank of fuel nearly WOT the entire time, my Snapper hand held leafblower runs about 10 minutes on its 2.0 AH battery. Last time I used it, it broke the battery - lol. So tell me what circle jerk group I'm in. Last edited by Efthreeoh; 12-12-2023 at 07:17 AM.. |
