EVs have one teeny tiny little problem – they start fires. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
A brand-new (2023) Mercedes EQE just went up in smoke – and so did the home of the person who parked it there.
The spontaneously combusting EV burned so hot, so fast, that the flames engulfed the house, resulting in a total loss of both car and house.
The Mercedes EV was not hooked to a charger when this conflagration occurred.
It was just parked.
Several thoughts come to mind.
The first being who’s going to pay for this?
Well, the insurance company, obviously!
No – it will be us. The insurance mafia does not pay. The insurance mafia collects. Certainly, it pays out claims. But who do you suppose pays for that? If you answered – everyone who pays premiums – step to the head of the line!
