Our 35 yr. old son had a spooky experience the day before yesterday. On his way to work, before daylight, 2 lane curvy high speed road he came upon a 3 car wreck. A dually, another pickup, and he learned later a Mitsubishi car. The dually was blazing away with a driver inside. Our son pulled him out through the window. He no more than had him out than the truck started exploding, the batteries and the tires. Said it sounded like bombs. He couldn't tell how much of the fire was from fuel or electrical, or upholstery, etc. He never saw the Mitsubishi whose driver didn't survive. Assumed it was well off the road in the woods.
All this to say the son told us he would have to have a gun pointed at his head to drive a battery powered car. The truck batteries exploding were incredible. Imagine sitting on a huge battery in a EV.
