No EV (personal car) fires in TH, much noting,

We did have the BYD Seal roll over fire 🔥. 

Any more out there?

My point stands: Thailand is a less mature EV market than places like tge UK, where sales are stalling and resale prices have fallen through the floor. The same will happen in Thailand, once people realise that EVs are only suited to people who have lots of time on their hands or travel locally, like housewives or retirees. 

 

Don't hold your breath, if it was going to happen. we would have seen it by now.

Unless it's stationary, charging or driving, it won't affect any EV owner's opinion that they don't present a fire risk.

 

Arson & Accidents etc are as useful as a chocolate teapot or an expat dinosaur oil worker troll on an EV thread.

Female driver, so unavoidable accident really.

It shouldn't affect you, since you are a male. It should probably not even be recorded as an accident, according to our local Thai Sterzel.

There is a growing market for ice tea, so your teapot might find some use.

That is Detective Constable of the FactCheck patrol 🚓 to you.

I think you've had too much of the bottled stuff on the wall behind your "performance" cherries

Some of that stuff is so old it has probably turned to vinegar 😕. 

While I keep wine 🍷 on the wall for decoration, I heard the affluent EV owners store boxes 📦 of wine in their garage.

It that to cool 😎 the nerves while charging?

I thought you might notice that, my garage is air conditioned, gotta keep those EV batteries cool, don't want any fires.

 

The wine you saw was just overflow as my cellar was full.

Ode to ExpatOilWorker

 

In the dark corners of cyberspace, Where electrons dance and trolls embrace, Lurked a creature with a bitter soul, An anti-EV troll, on a relentless stroll.

His keyboard clattered with disdain, As he typed away, fueled by disdain, “Electric cars are a hoax,” he’d proclaim, “Gasoline forever! EVs are lame!”

He scoffed at Teslas and their silent glide, Called them “glorified golf carts,” with pride. His heart revved like a V8 engine, Spewing exhaust fumes of digital opinion.

“Range anxiety!” he cried, his knuckles white, As if EVs were fragile birds in flight. He mocked the charging stations’ humble plugs, While gasoline pumps hummed like ancient bugs.

But deep down, beneath his vitriol’s crust, Lay a fear—an existential mistrust. For progress threatened his fossil-fueled creed, And innovation was a foe he couldn’t heed.

He’d argue with zeal, ignoring facts, Ignoring the planet’s desperate acts. His comments echoed through the virtual haze, A cacophony of ignorance, ablaze.

Yet, in the quiet moments before dawn, When the world slept, and stars were drawn, The anti-EV troll would pause and wonder, Could he change? Could he break asunder?

For the road ahead was paved with electrons, And the future whispered of cleaner suns. Perhaps, just perhaps, he’d unplug his rage, And embrace the electric current’s sage.

But until then, he’d troll and taunt, A relic of the past, a fossil to haunt. And the EVs would hum, silently amused, As they rolled toward a future yet unfused.

Just to make you sleep 😴 better tonight, when you hear a distant noise in the wine/solar inverter room....

Thanks for the fine poetry, I am flattered. I will grant you membership #1 of your newfound EOW fan club.

The BMW, Performance Motor and the interest in fires 🔥  feel left out, but thanks anyway, 😊.

Nicely done anyway.

 

Much better than the flames and bitter troll comments that we usually get.

The quills of the hedgehog stings, while the BMW interior is soft as quill?
