Another Big EV Fail

[toobfreak]

Hundreds of drivers were stuck for hours at a dead standstill on the highway amid 100-degree heat because of another EV fail. A crucial highway connecting between Los Angeles and Las Vegas was closed for over 30 hours in intense heat. A tractor trailer carrying EV lithium ion batteries overturned and caught on fire. Due to the lithium-ion, water could not be added to the fire, so the batteries must be left to burn out on their own. The immediate concern was for the air quality in the region due to the highly toxic hydrogen cyanide, chlorine, and sulfur dioxide released into the air from the fire.

So far, all attempts to move the burned out 75,000 pound container have failed due to the enormous weight.

Another brilliant victory for the environment and climate change!!! Thank God this happened in California.

Our earliest automobiles had to be started with a hand crank. We don`t do that anymore, do we?

I'm in Texas and you might see an EV here a few times a month. Other than that all the vehicles are combustion engines.

We`ll be long gone before most cars are EV. There is no one underground making enough oil to supply the world infinitely.
