Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian, top Florida official warns

[beautress]

Before any other states start demanding that their citizens must own electric cars and not gas-driven ones should read up on what's happening in Florida due to water damaged electric cars.

A top Florida state official warned Thursday that firefighters have battled a number of fires caused by electric vehicle (EV) batteries waterlogged from Hurricane Ian.​

​

EV batteries that have been waterlogged in the wake of the hurricane are at risk of corrosion, which could lead to unexpected fires, according to Jimmy Patronis, the state's top financial officer and fire marshal.​

​

"There’s a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start," Patronis tweeted Thursday. "That’s a new challenge that our firefighters haven’t faced before. At least on this kind of scale."​

Will California's legislature roll back their insistance/new law that people MUST run electric cars by a certain date instead of gas-driven ones now?

When have you EVER witnessed a government institution reverse itself after crafting a shitty detrimental law EXCEPT Roe Vs. Wade? This was something as serious as the murder of babies, it took 50 years and a massive shift in court politics to even begin to fix the issue. Yet in some states infanticide will still be 100% legal and protected by leftist authoritarians hell bent on continued population reduction and control. So rest assured it will NEVER be totally "fixed".

Every other mistake made by political whores in local, state or federal legislatures or regulatory agencies has to be so egregious that lives are ruined and millions of people have to be outraged.

IED?

Thats something the greedy motherfukkers at Tesls didn't think about........or maybe they did and just didn't give a fuck.
Salt water corrosion.

Like I said in my past posts on EV's..........they are nothing more than bombs on wheels.

Regular cars can and do catch fire after being dunked in salt water. Turns out they have batteries too.

Not start on fire creating more damage and destruction. Lay off the bong.

I'm on the bong and laughed at that bullshit

When a tow truck driver takes away a drowned vehicle the first thing they do is raise the hood and cut the battery cables before they even pull their truck up close to it. That way there is no chance of it catching fire on the road or at the yard. Modern vehicles are full of electronics and every bit of it is shorted after a salt water bath.

Electric cars and the leftist push to make them the only legal vehicles will be one of the great screw ups of the 21st Century.....right after the Chinese flu lockdowns.....

yes. but an EV is a different animal. When the do catch fire they have to be treated a lot different than your typical car fire. it's dangerous as hell.

Any car fire is dangerous. If they have to pour more water on an EV fire it's no reason to act like they are the Devil. If they can eventually wean us off the Saudi teat I'm all for them.

you don't just pour water on an EV fire unless you're ready to meet God in person real quick.
