Chinese electric cars have major problems with fires and blowing up.  Far more than other makers.  The same goes for electric motorcycles and even electric bikes.

Yet look at the fire departments in Florida trying to put out electric car fires lifted up and soaked in the salty storm surges days later and going " fresh water isn't stopping it!!!"... lulz

Now the anti human green nutjobs want to ban rice.

Chargers are also a problem even here in California.  In a ten mile radius we have four; two Tesla supercharger stations and two non-tesla brand stations.  The newest is a Shell station and quickie mart which just got built which also has an Earl of Sandwich location inside, a carwash, and 10 non-Tesla brand charging stations.  I have yet to see a single electric car charge there.  At maybe $50,000 per charger plus electricity prices that is a lot of wasted investment.



This is despite there being many Tesla and non-Tesla electric cars and plug in hybrids in this area.  It just doesn't seem to make market sense especially since California charges higher unit rates the more electricity you use so running an independent charging station doesn't seem to make financial sense.  People can literally charge more cheaply at home.

Huh?  That would starve half the planet. I did see an interesting poll on Twitter the other day (opt in so it wasn't scientific) where 51% of self described leftists claimed the universe would be better off if humans went extinct.  That is profoundly anti-human and genocidal but that seems to be the majority of idiotic self hating leftists these days.

Given the opportunity, I would kill every single one of them.

I think starving half the planet if the goal. Sorry, all of the human race.

I read that they now consider essential food production like rice unsustainable. They want us all dead.

The "Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act" would require the Consumer Product Safety Commission to "establish a final consumer product safety standard for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in personal mobility devices, such as electric scooters and bikes, to protect against the risk of fires caused by such batteries," the proposed legislation read.



Recent incidents include a 7-year-old and a 19-year-old who died in what was called an "explosion of fire" in early April 2023, after a lithium-ion battery from an electric scooter exploded.



At least 38 people were injured in a Manhattan fire in November 2022, caused by what officials believe was a defective lithium-ion battery from a micromobility device. The apartment fire injured two critically and another five seriously.
