Electric Cars

As I said above, even if 100% of the EV data was spontaneous combustion and 10% of the data from gas was spontaneous combustion, the gas vehicles would still be like 6x more likely to burn down your house at night. Even if it were just 2% of the gas numbers, they'd still be higher. That's how much more likely gas vehicles are to catch on fire.

I don't trust your fuzzy math. I also don't park my gas cars in the garage, but I would with an EV while charging it.

Yeah dude, it is. No more coal plants, but no more nuclear either. That leaves oil and gas-fired plants to service a more taxing grid than before. The equation is the same until solar or some other renewable manages to be build at a level where ALL fossil fuel types can be eliminated. Patting oneself on the back for closing a coal plant so that you can open two NG plants isn't "fighting climate change" no matter how you think you're going to get people to buy those $50k EVs.

Nuclear plants will be built again. Stop talking about something you don't know about

like that they make you have sex with another man before you can buy one, gay?

You have to show proof of having taken it up the but from a dude.

Because according to Chewy it ain't gay to be the top.

Cuz I'm talking shit, so duh. I don't know your specific job duties but I also know there's enough to go around. Iirc SMRs are way easier to maintain so along that scope perhaps less people who are qualified will be necessary was the idea

i would doubt 10% spontaneously combust in their garages over night

And I would doubt 100% of the EV fires are spontaneous combustion either. Most are probably accident related when the cells get punctured.

Do these cars have brake rotor and pads like a regular car, or do some have breaking by the electric motors.
One less maintenance item i'm thinking

It’s both. The EUV we ordered has something called “one pedal driving”. Basically as soon as you release the pedal the regeneration system kicks in and quickly slows down the car to a stop while also charging the battery. For the most part, you should go dramatically longer in between brake replacements if you use it.

But the point of contention was to find an accurate comparison for that specific criteria

And I think I more than proved that electric vehicles have extremely low rates of catching on fire all together; which would include randomly. Even if all 25 out of 100,000 were spontaneous combustion, that would be an extremely low number of incidents. But we know it's not 100%, so it's even lower.

You didn't prove anything, you brought up overall and non applicable data.


Like I said, I'm not anti ev, I want to know the actual statistics, not some cable company tech support answers

Does 25 out of 100,000 include spontaneous combustion? The answer is yes. So the worst case scenario, and an unrealistic one, is that 25 out of 100,000 units sold spontaneously combust.

If it catches fire in the garage shortly after arriving home or 5 hours later, does it matter?

yes.

fire starting in your garage while you're asleep is WAY more dangerous than when puttering around your kitchen.

There's no scientific data to suggest only 25 out of 100k that's literally a number you made up

regardless, the % of EVs that have spontaneously combusted is very low.

the argument here is just splitting hairs because you aren't providing anything to say it is higher than the number he is offering

electrek.co

Government data show gasoline vehicles are up to 100x more prone to fires than EVs

Aside from the argument that gasoline vehicles operate via combustion, a study shows how prevalent gas vehicle fires are compared to EVs.
