We’re going to need an awful lot of green ammonia “cracked” with renewable energy for making nitrogen fertilizer alone, let alone converting it back to hydrogen, losing even more efficiency in the process

Why is 6 cars too many? And why do you only care about the EVs? Hell, why do you care at all?
You’ve justified nothing. Still moral panic.

Case in point right here. Your post is a great example of moral panic: trying to make something sound like it’s a big deal while providing no justification for your concerns.

Hurricane Ian destroyed 300,000 cars.
Of those 300,000, 6 were EVs that caught fire. That’s 0.003% of the total damaged cars.
Some non-EVs caught fire too, since waterlogged lead acid batteries will do that. But nobody’s reporting on that… wonder why?
The 6 EVs that caught fire received nearly nonstop news coverage and moral panic, with Republicans jumping on the issue.
While I think it’s a bit disappointing that half a dozen EVs caught fire, given the circumstances it does not seem like a large number, and the response from the media and Republicans ludicrously disproportionate.
What’s the term for that? Oh right, FUD

I still have mine, but if I plug it in the screen just briefly flashes every second or so. Ded.
