But stupid.
The issue with fires in EVs is not that they happen often - they are in fact far LESS frequent then in ICEVs. The issue is that when they DO happen, they are far harder to extinguish.

A lot of those just look like arson ? How would the roof catch fire exactly ?
And the stats show that EVs are a lot less likely to go on fire compared to ICE cars.

Perhaps we should change the thread title to "Are we being force fed Tesla" 😊
Yeah, yeah 👍👍

When I started this topic, I didn't realise it would go on for so long. It seems that it has gone on a tangent now so I thank you all for your comments and ask mod to close it now .

I don't expect the mods will close it. We'd only start another similar thread.
Why do you think it should be closed.

Nope. That one is specifically for EV owners to discuss their EVs just like the other "owners" threads. This thread is about the pros and cons of EVs and whether people are being forced to move to EVs. I still maintain that people are being encouraged, not forced.
