@@vaffcontentcreator Batteries can be recycled my friend, though it only counts if it is done. Electricity can be harnessed from Solar, and the maintenance is a fraction compared to internal combustion engined (ICE) cars. Becoming eco-friendly isn't against any particular type (ICE or Electric or Hydrogen), but it is a necessity for a better future, especially for future generations. Agree that electric mobility is a long term goal, and fuel driven (ICE) vehicles are a need for now until we progress enough to go fully electric. We are going through a transitional phase, it takes a lot of time and effort (just like people switched from horse driven carts to the engine driven ones). Why you should trust me? I have been working on both these types for decades.. I am kind of a automotive junky, if you would call in terms of modern terminologies.

@@pjhgerlachI know right. I would love to see a comparison petrol or diesel vs electric cars. Which one actually produces more Co2 per km. I mean. Most electricity is still produced from fossil fuel, plus loss of power every step of the way: Transformer, power line, another transformer, low voltage power line, then to your house and through another transformer to charge the battery (put 10kwh in get 6kw effective at the wheel).

That is not what an electric car fire looks like. It looks like the fire from ANY diesel-operated car has gone beyond the ignition phase and moved on to the interior. My main reason for coming to that conclusion is that none of the fire comes out from the floor area of the car. If it would have been an electrical car fire it would have for sure. Also regarding the area. I doubt that there is any charging stations close by, so the risk of an electric car to catch fire is close to zero.

That's not correct. All the policies I've looked at (including my own EV policy) cover fires caused by the battery, just like traditional cars are covered when petrol/gas catches fire.

[@ANGRY_AMERICAN]

@grahammounsey6117 As an insurance underwriter the auto might covet battery fire but will fight it claiming manufacturers defects. What's worse is auto won't cover your house burning down or same fight over manufacturers defects and what most people don't know is that a battery meltdown is just as dangerous as a nuclear meltdown. No amount of water or foam will put out battery fire, you would need to cover it with sand and the fire would turn it into a glass shell just like US nuclear reactors If they meld down the fuel rods drop into a special concrete vault that melts over top sealing it off.

[@grahammounsey6117]

@@ANGRY_AMERICAN 1. If your EV catches fire, your car insurance will pay you, just like if your petrol/gas car does. The house example is surely also the same whether it's a petrol/gas car or EV.

[@Liams_Fraser_Island_adventures]

More lies and misinformation.

[@ANGRY_AMERICAN]

@Liams_Fraser_island_adventures... Just look into the legal battle's homeowners are having between their homeowner's insurance and auto insurance. The only EV manufacture I would trust is Tesla but with that being said look at all the problems in northern states just because it got a little cold. Battery tech is like PC tech, your tier 1 or class A silicone is turned into your 4090 GPU or intel 14900K flagship CPU from that same wafer you get tier 2 and 3 that become your 4080, 4070 and 4060 gpus and your lower core count CPUs. You have the same thing with EV batteries but worse because not only do you get lower grade cells the lower quality of assembly of the packs that have thousands of these cells. This is why these cars are burning up not only in people's houses but at the manufacturing plants and on the transport ships before they ever make it to a dealer. Even the cheapest EV is only made for the top 1-2% and with all the recent EV (car, motorcycle, E-bike and power tools) 25-50% of insurance companies are canceling coverage of EVs and the ones that will cover them are getting 200 to 1000% premium increase regardless of driving record. It is so bad that if you get into a minor fender bender but it so much as scratches the battery pack the insurance will require pack replacement with a starting price of $20K and up, a 1yr old EV would be totaled. SO do a little more research before you call someone a liar and by the way I have an insider in the insurance racket and this person does the programing that generates the base rates based on VIN and location before the retailers like State Farm, Allstate and all the rest add their extras on top.
