Still it could be a wakeup call for marine industry. What if a EV burst into flames ???? on a packed ferry full of passengers?

Parking and EV next to your house is the equivalent to Oppenheimer in September 1945 asking if he can store a box with the label #3 in your garage ???? ????.

Ohhh, boy!!!! ???? ???? ????‍???? ???? ???? ???? https://splash247.com/one-dead-and-several-injured-in-major-fire-onboard-car-carrier Reports have come out that the fire started in one of the EVs which is a major issue. The EVs on board are a serious fire accelerant since its lithium-ion batteries when on fire can reach temperatures of more than 2,700 degrees Celsius.

Typical Chinese total lack of attention to details. That alone would be enough for me to buy a can of gasoline ⛽️ and set fire to my EV ????.

Did the Chinese really screw up the units in the display?

So km/kwh means kwh/100 km in a Chinese EV. Nice quality touch ????.

I get them on LINE also. Usually a beautiful doctor from Singapore. I always ask them how they feel about Taiwan's ???????? independence and they get were defensive....???? ????.

Thr above numbers are bad data. National Transportation Safety Board and concluded that battery-powered EVs suffer only 25 fires per 100,000 sold, compared to 1,530 for petrol or diesel vehicles, and notably 3,475 for hybrids. However, that report has been debunked for poor methodology. https://www.thecarexpert.co.uk/are-electric-car-fires-really-that-common/

Many occur without an obvious cause. Source: IDTechEx Research University of Tennessee Study: Electric car fires are more common than those in gasoline cars. “The study found that electric car fires occur in 3 out of every 1,000 starts, while internal combustion car fires occur in 1 out of every 10,000 starts. Electric cars are generally considered to be safer than gas cars, as they do not produce emissions that can endanger people. However, this study states that electric car fires are more common than previously thought.” University of California-Irvine Study: “Electric car fires are responsible for approximately one-third of all car fires in the United States.” https://vedaing.com.mk/blog/statistics-vehicle-fire-causes/

Arson fires are also, somewhat fairly, includes in the ICE numbers. Anyway, it would be nice to see some true and fair numbers based on fires/(billion)km, but so far the EV industry have failed to be honest.

Cars burn during their lifetime on the road, so fire/sale is actually misleading. Since EV sales are increasing and few EVs are old enough for a full life cycle, it underreport the true EV fire statistics. The yearly milage number was just my guess and could be wrong, if you have better numbers please share.

Very impressive milage at 7 km/kwh, which in energy terms is equivalent to 21 km/l and a whopping 42 km/l based on cost. What kind of EV are you driving?

You can eat for "free" at the thief's restaurant for the rest of your life. Bon appetite ????.

Next year they will all have an old phone, unless of course household debt increases to 95%.

What is the odometer on your EV showing and what mileage km/kwh are you getting on average?

You also have the T-shirt?

Using fires/sale is still statistic manipulation. If the average EV is 4 years old and the average ICE vehicle is 20 years old, then that will favor EVs with a factor 5. EVs also drive fewer km annually, lets say half the distance and EV fires are effectively underreported by a factor 10.

Insurance companies love EVs so much they charge double.

Odd why airline prefere to record accidents per passenger x km, but don't let a bit of statistical manipulation stain ur EV illusion. Ignorance is still the ultimate bliss ????.

It would be nice to see statistics based on km driven, rather than per vehicle. The average age of EV is also less than combustible engine cars, which could also be a factor.

On top of that the debt is not equally distributed. Some, rich people, are completely debt free while others owe 5-10 × their annual income. Teachers and many government employees are among the latter group.

When obituaries and cemetery listing yield the most results, it is time to quit searching.

Look around the 9 minute mark.

Is Lavrov meeting the Chinese foreign minister, Qin Gang? Ohh, wait he can't, Qin vanished from the face of the earth 3 weeks ago.

He is probably scouting out a place for Putin's excile, for when the long knives come out at Kremlin. Lavrov's bridge building skills probably aren't great, so nothing for him to do in Crimea.
