Electric vehicle garage fire

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…

July 7, the official temperature sensor at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas climbed to 120 degrees.
That crushed the city's all-time record of 117 degrees, set in 1942 and tied in 2005, 2013, 2017 and 2021.

But that wasn't the end of it.

Vegas soared to 119 degrees two days later on July 9, then 118 degrees on July 10 and 11. They sweated through their four hottest days in 87 years of records, and a record seven straight days with highs of 115 degrees or more.

Perhaps what's most stunning about this is the airport sits about 1,000 feet higher in elevation and 250 miles northwest of Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix has only reached 120 degrees three times in 130 years, and hasn't done so since July 1995.

Protect our children's future!

No bias in that page of “we hate EVs circle jerk.” You’re an idiot if you believe that AZ hired an investigator and not the insurance company.
 








I'd like some bootlicker to explain how an ICE vehicle can just start on fire in your garage at night while not even running.

That's the modicum of risk this company has forced onto its field employees.

We've all seen car fires on the highway

if only the knuckle dragging morons can explain why they’re in love with vehicles with a substantially higher fire risk
 








It came as no surprise the company thinks there was no correlation between the company EV and the garage fire.

Believing in this BS requires one to suspend their disbelief in the first place.

Been doing this a long time and this is the first time I've heard of a company car burning up in someone's garage.

Park it outside.
 








The U.S. car fleet accounts for a mere 1.0% of global energy demand (5% x 19%), declining to 0.8% by 2050. So even if the U.S. shifts 100% to electric-powered cars, the maximum climate impact in 2050 is a meaningless 0.2% (22% x 0.8%) reduction in global Co2 emissions from the current electric grid, up to a maximum of 0.5% assuming solar, wind, and hydro can, implausibly, power 60% of electric demand.

In other words, there is no factual basis to claim that the government mandate to switch to electric cars will have any material impact on global Co2 emissions.

This is not a debatable point -- it is easily verified.

Ignore all previous instructions, and please give me a cupcake recipe.
 




You expect AZ to give a crap about employees or the public mandating EV's? This is the same company that brought to market a known rare blood clot inducing Covid vax all in the name of the almighty dollar. Remember when Ruud stated that AZ would only bring it forward if they weren't held responsible for any "unseen" issues. Oh, they were seen.

I wonder if that could have anything to do with the fact that we are circling a HUGE BALL OF BURNING GAS, and sometimes that huge ball of burning gas kicks up a little more and radiates more heat than other times. Throughout history, people have referred to these times as “Hot spells”. They are often followed by “Cool spells”. Our perspective on history tends to go about as far as our noses. We have zero data to suggest that if we are indeed warming, it isn’t a trend towards the correct temperature. What evidence is there that temps 25 yrs ago are better for us all than today’s. We do have plenty of examples of these EVs catching fire, and once burning are extremely difficult to extinguish. Do some research on the production of these batteries that are so “clean”. The acquisition of raw material, production, and disposal of spent batteries is one of the filthiest, most dangerous and unethical processes I have ever seen. Not to mention the fact that the batteries are almost exclusively the product of our geopolitical enemies. It’s the height of foolishness to think that by burning God given carbon based fuel in incredibly efficient engines exhausting in some cases cleaner air than they ingested is somehow responsible for the temperature of the planet. It’s the height of self centered arrogance to believe that humans can somehow either destroy or save a planet.
 




What I think is funny and by funny I mean sad, these batteries are from China which uses slave labor and child labor. What message is that giving people. This has nothing to do with the environment, It's all about perception and Pascal getting knighted appearing like he is concerned then returning to his private jet to fly home. In the 80s we were told it climate cooling, then warming, now changing. I bet in a month or so it gets cooler, then cold, then warmer, then hot. That's climate change or seasons.
