Not really, I can't help being educated. you should try it some time.

Nonsense, you are incredibly ill informed. These other names as you call them are well defined legal & descriptive terms and define age & sexual attraction.

I can only post as I find, the article posted says that whilst the cause of the fire is unknown, it was not caused by an EV. That doesn't undermine my post. What does undermine it is the link posted by "in the jungle" which cleary shows burned Porsche Taycan's. Until June this year, I owned a Taycan for 2 years and I can confirm those cars are indeed Porsche Taycans. My Taycan never caught fire.

That’s a good example. It wasn’t caused by an EV fire. After the fire on the car cargo ship off the Dutch coast, the media hastily identified an electric car as the cause. Now it turns out – that this is not true. Even though the cause of the fire is still unknown, the EV theory no longer holds up after the freighter was inspected. The lower four of the twelve decks are essentially undamaged, and about 1,000 cars, including the 498 electric ones, are in good condition. This is according to the chief of salvage company Royal Boskalis Westminster NV, Peter Berdowski. According to the head of the salvage company, the four uppermost decks, on which there were no electric cars, are so damaged that it is hard to walk on them and that the vehicles there (again, no EVs!) are literally fused to the ground. The affected carmakers are now investigating how their vehicles can be moved. Source electrive.com

There is a tiny outfit in North Macedonia, Veda or Vedaing I think they are called. They are an outlier and claim that ice vehicles have less fires than EV’s, but the kicker is that their main business is in selling fire suppression systems for lithium iron battery applications and unsurprisingly they post no details on where they get their results from.

Okay, I will, should that unlikely event ever arise.

Yes, you’re right, there are reports that EV’s go up in flames about 10 times less often than ICE vehicles (comparing like for like).

I doubt the China made EV stats are available yet, and if the stats came out of China they would be meaningless

Yada yada yada broken record Transman?

Petrol car fires About 9,060,000 results (0.47 seconds)

Oh yes you did!

Driving while fully loaded is against the law.

Transam said he couldn't wait for you to arrive & say that.

Let me translate that to English for you "I don't like those inconvenient stats, please provide stats that don't exist yet"

I was neither responding in the affirmative or the negative, but adding more facts to the context. I suspect you would argue black is white, it seems to be in your nature to be a contrairian. You do like your emojis, each to his own.

Incorrect, it can be answered by a Yes or No, but it doesn’t have to be. Especially if it’s being spun to insinuate an incorrect conclusion.

And it’s mostly ICE That’s why the figures are given separately for EV, ICE and Hybrid

I thought since the anti-EV'ers were being ridiculous, I would join in.

sorry but I don't see the trend

Just some advice, I think the agents are all pretty poor. They get a much higher percentage commission from a developer for selling a new unit, you will actually get the best deal from a motivated seller who may take anything above half what he's asking.

Terrible investment.

We can all hate the accurate statistics posted and ask for more and more meaningless and impossible to get statistics, but it's pointless. There are accurate stats out there and EV's are about 10 times less likely to catch fire than an ICE vehicle - period.

Someone already has - twice A few posts above here, one came out at 5 per billion miles, the other at 3.1 (you will need to ask them for the source)

Thought so

I had a car fire once....oh hang on, correction it was a ham sandwich.
