oh good another ship carrying electric cars is on fire,
Sam Croft MarineTraffic


Thousands of new cars, including hundreds of electric cars, are presumed lost after a fire broke out aboard the Morning Midas, a car carrier en route from China to Mexico.

Key Points
The Morning Midas, carrying 3,000 vehicles including 800 EVs, was abandoned after a fire broke out mid-voyage from China to Mexico.

Zodiac Maritime confirmed the fire began in the deck housing electric vehicles; the 22 crew members evacuated safely after onboard suppression systems failed to contain the blaze.

This incident follows other high-profile EV-related shipping fires, highlighting growing safety concerns and prompting some operators to reconsider transporting electric vehicles by sea

Burning EVs are coming to a parking garage near you, or in my case a neighbor's garage which totally destroyed the home while the EV was being charged.

Insurance Co's killed the Muscle Car in the 70's by jacking rates up so high that demand dropped.   That could be the cure for the EV scourge.  Jack the HO and Auto rates and end the craziness.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

You would think common sense would kick in eventually. Nevermind.
Scientists, like all discoverers of truth, have always asked, "What?” “How?” “Why?” “What if?” and “Why not?” Questioning science is science.

I hope the sharks are okay.
