Garbage that still needs fosil feuls to charge 1 , 2 I rarely hear of gas powered vehicles catching on fire when putting gas in them like E.V's when charging or just sitting there not running.

Old saying of Ford is true again today, Found On Road Dead

Wait until these EV start catching fite in peoples garages and killing entire families, which they will. Insurance Companies will stop insuring homeowners that own this hot garbage. This is the biggest scam ever perpetrated on the Sheeple in America.

Car haulers are already having issues with dot for hours of service and know hauling EVs they are overweight and can't haul more than 6 cars because of the battery that will get passed down to the consumer, EVs are not the answer

The batteries of all the EVs are fire traps.

Good to know, the Lord's way of dealing with evil!

yeah how'd you like that battery fire in your garage?

Maybe change the name from Lightning to Flame. Just an idea.

Lithium batteries burn when they're punctured or damaged and you can't put out the fire. I learned that many years ago through RC hobbies. It's just a fact.

People are voting with their dollars. The electric F-150 is doing well and will continue to do so in spite of naysayers

Lol

Electric vehicles suck

Those damn kids mined defective materials

Just like the hover boards catching on fire. Just like the charging vapes catching on fire.

Battery fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish.

Damn china battery technology. Governor Youngkin knew it was coming!🏆
