fire have had fire jets coming out of them. I've attached the images. <br /> An expert said one reason for long jet flames could be from a 12 volt ion battery <br /> failing or from holes in the battery box allowing gases to vent out. There is gas not <br /> liquid in the battery. <br /> MAY 10, 2022 A shipping expert says there have been about 70 fires reported in the <br /> last five years on container ships. The problem with EVs, is that lithium-ion batteries <br /> can actually propagate the fire, igniting more vigorously as compared to conventional <br /> cell batteries. https://www.autoweek.com/news/industry-news/a39951439/is-it-safe-to- <br /> ship-thousands-of-electric-cars-on-big-ships/ <br /> These vehicles will stress our already strained electric grid. How is that sustainable? <br /> The range on an electric bus is 300 miles. The range of a gas bus is 750 miles. More <br /> than twice as many miles. Without the risk of burning people alive! <br /> Electric buses take a ton of energy, as much, or more than an average home. Semi <br /> Trucks even more. The buses and semi trucks could take up the entire electric grid! <br /> Plus, 2-3 more electric grids! <br /> Hawaii has the highest electric rates in the country. This plan will increase that per <br /> household by hundreds of dollars per month, if people have electric cars. <br /> What happens if and when the power grid goes down? <br /> How will people get to work or go to the hospital if there is an emergency? <br /> It's an illusion that we're burning less oil to fuel electric cars. We are actually using <br /> more oil to make the electricity to fuel the cars. <br /> Our electric power plants run on oil and will need to be expanded to supply the <br /> amount of electricity we'll need for EV's on the island. <br /> Mining Cobalt for Electric Vehicles Poisons People <br /> The people that mine the cobalt used in electric vehicles work in toxic and dangerous <br /> conditions. Do we want to be a part of that problem? <br /> People can't get out if the battery turns off! <br /> On Mar 13, 2024 Businesswoman Angela Chao lost her life after backing her Tesla <br /> into a pond and the car turned off. There are many examples of people not being able <br /> to get out of the car if the battery turns off. If the car catches fire and the battery turns <br /> off, they are dead. <br />
