Electric vehicle garage fire





So serious question - in all the decades that AZ sales reps have driven gasoline powered vehicles, has one ever set an employee's garage or house on fire? Ever?

Those stats don't include fires started by the chargers, because those fall under "structure fires" not "vehicle fires." For someone in a science field, you sure don't understand statistics.

Everything has pros and cons. Many of us don't appreciate not being given a choice, and the fact that the concerns are being ignored. The company is continuing to install chargers in employee homes, not yet knowing the results of the investigation - meaning the chargers might be dangerous. This is the definition of irresponsible.
Your choices is to get a new job. Simple. I hope you get let go in September when everyone gets the ax,
 








The state of CA is now piloting a program to charge people for every mile they drive. Apparently, there is a huge shortfall in gasoline tax revenue due to the large number of EV's they are forcing/mandating people to get.

How did they not forecast a drop in gas tax revenues when they implemented an EV mandate?

These people are as DUMB as the day is long.

Newsome and his ilk are lying Ftards. But most on that side are.
 




Notice that in the midst of this so-called climate crisis, not a lot of planning for nuclear power plants. Not many voices even calling for them. If the powers that be were actually convinced that excess carbon dioxide was the issue that they say it is, we'd be in the process of replacing a significant percentage of coal, oil, and gas power plants with nuclear (or something).

But instead of building out massive carbon free electric, they're focused on carbon credits and carbon rationing. Their focus is on keeping you down.
 




Does anyone remember in the early 80's when we were told there was going to be an ice age because we were cooling! What happened to that; the climate changed, now its warm, guess what, the climate will change again. I live in Virginia and 200 miles inland is what we call the sand belt showing the ocean was that far inland at some point, now it isn't. This shows, the planet changes constantly and will continue to change. Why do we think we can control it because we can not and are wasting out time trying. Now get me a larger car please.

Fewer fires with EVs than gas powered cars. You have believed right-wing hysteria.

Furthermore, even if an EV is charged via 100% coal fired plants (somewhat rare in the US) it is still has a better carbon footprint than a fully gas powered vehicle because the motor is so much more efficient. Though a hybrid may have a lower footprint depending on the charging time of day. You don't have to worry about charging times if you have a level 2 charger at your house. It will charge plenty overnight unless you are driving over 200 mi per day. If you are driving that much then you may be better off with a gas or hybrid car.

You will love your EV. It has more instantaneous power, is quieter, requires much less maintenance and does not produce unpleasant fumes. Plus, you never have to stop for gas since it is fueled at home, If you want to use it for long distance travel though it will less convenient than a gas powered car.

Italy is going back to nuclear, but that's about it.
 




Just another way for the rich to get richer. Tax rebates, incentives, ect. Lowering the tax burden to the people who could actually pay more and maintain their lifestyles while the middle and lower classed get hammered with inflation.
 




It’s a good value add to the property as most people would take electric if it was an easier switch over:
Lol. You must live in Cali. most people and car manufacturers are running from EV's. The reality is the technology and infrastructure if far too limited and most people living in reality are starting to acknowledge that.

Those of us who live in reality have always known how limited the technology is.

Problem is, we are a small minority these days.
 




I have a friend who works ad a sales manager at a local car dealership.

The dealership literally gave away their EV's recently to their employees just to clear out the inventory. They sat on the lot and took up space, making it harder to keep inventory of cars people want.

The dealership took the tax rebate, took the loss, and geared up for the 2025 model year of regular cars. Washed their hands of the whole thing.

Forcing them into an entire vehicle fleet is insane. No one wants them.

These evs are the worst...how many more times do we have to take them to be fixed at dealership??? Constantly picking up rental car....how can Pascal say this is sustainable...such a joke!
 
















From the garage fire owner:

“102 days since the garage fire, 3 investigators, 1 citing a lithium battery, the other 2 citing the EV. Guess who the loner was hired by. The EV was taken today. With the help of our good neighbors, Eggers Tree service and their bobcat, we got the truck and bike extracted from the garage. Now the insurance companies can take their vehicles. Di and I are thrilled about finally moving forward, not waiting for the dragging feet of others.”

So AZ was the only investigator that said it wasn’t the Ev and they are confident to tell us we are safe…
