It's those lithium batteries - happens to laptops and cell phones too.

Generally, non lithium batteries don't do that.

Lithium is so cheap they drive the industry despite random fires since the 1990's.

Somebody somewhere is paid to look the other way, because this should never have been approved. It's not like they didn't know at the time this decision was made. They knew. Everybody knew.

It's like how America pretends Biden is the president.

They are lying, and we know they are lying, and they know that we know they are lying, and they are still lying.

The argument should not be EV vs ICE but the criminals trying to destroy civilization by taking away our energy. Notice noone talks about how the electric infrastructure simply cannot handle the current load plus the additional load of millions of EVs. And this is because the agenda is to crush society. It's not about the environment. It's true, Lithium batteries are much worse to manufacture than ICEs. The politicians are fucking clueless about technology. All they know is, they're being told to switch everybody over to electric vehicles. Pay no attention to facts.
