    How many more EV's will burst into flames.
    "Just don't catch fire... General Motors on Wednesday told owners of 2017-2019 Bolt EVs not to park their vehicles inside or charge them unattended overnight after two of the EVs went up in flames. The cars had even been repaired as part of a recall of 69,000 vehicles that were flagged for fire risks, but that didn't seem to help. Other EV rollouts have also been interrupted by fires involving lithium-ion batteries, including Ford, BMW and Hyundai (OTCPK:HYMTF), which have issued recalls in recent months for new battery-powered models."

    "Even before hitting the road, the analysis showed that the production of a mid-sized EV generated 8.1M grams of CO2 during the extraction and manufacturing process, more than the 5.5M grams for a comparable gasoline vehicle. One would also have to drive another 13,500 miles in a Model 3 - the average mileage motorists drive each year - before breaking even with the Corolla in terms of emissions."
