Desperately looking at any excuse to further their miserable fossil funded cause.
Sure, we don't want evs to be self combusting all over the place just as we don't want a petrol powered vehicle to catch fire.
That's where clever design and engineering comes in.
Most of us have experienced the volatility of petrol at a young age by throwing a bit on a camp fire. Petrol is a pretty lively liquid.
And yet, we have engineered vehicles to be safe despite having a large container of this very volatile liquid in close proximity to themselves. Those of us that ride motorcycles literally have a vented container of it that we grip with our thighs ! For the rest of us, we are sitting in a box that also has a plastic container of this very volatile liquid a couple of feet away, and we drive this box at high speeds in heavy traffic.
Evs are just another electric device with a lithium battery. Most people have a lithium battery powered device in their pocket and beside their bed while they sleep. They have dozens of lithium powered devices all over the house and in the shed.
