EV's and water
Ian is highlighting an issue many surmised would come to pass.

Yep. Well at least we won't have to worry about crooks taking the flooded(totaled) EV cars and selling them in another state.
Gas vehicles would be totaled too, but they do NOT become raging infernos and possibly cause injuries after they are totaled!

From a firemans standpoint, we hate the dang things !

I will not even leave my toaster plugged in. A good friend lost his home and nearly his life and family due to a toaster incident!

Now I got something to look forward too when driving on a rainy day, watching EV blow up and burn along the highway.

EV batteries are going to become a BIG problem in the future with disposal issues.
The "greenies" don't realize what goes into lithium battery production and just how toxic they are when depleted.

Didn't some Ford pick ups or Explorers have a problem with bursting into flames setting in the driveway? I never heard what caused it.

Faulty ignition switches. They recalled thousands of them back in the late 80s-early 90s.

Thinking ahead...When the Fire Trucks are EV... Who will put them out?

When the firetrucks are electric it will be someone else's problem . By then ,I will be long gone . On big fires we have had an engine on site and pumping for as long as 8 to 10 hours at a stretch . Wonder how big a battery that would take ?

All those folks in Florida suffering from their losses and then to have to deal with losing their transportation too. Very sad.

That's why the Explorer was called the Ford Exploder for awhile.

I suspect the people that are driving EV's voted for Brandon. Brandon says he don't like fossil fuels produced in the USA. He wants to buy more fossil fuels from the Prince and Putin. Are Saudi's Fossil fuel cleaner than the USA fossil fuel.?????????????
I suspect Hunter might be getting rewarded somehow with the foreign fossil fuels the USA buys.
Them voters made their bed. (sure hope they stop and think about their shrinking pocket book before they cast their next vote.

But it is Florida where the lead is taken for chances of landfalling storms this season. CSU probability forecast for landfalling storms for Florida. The forecast calls for a 96% chance of a named storm impacting Florida, a 75% chance for a hurricane (category 1-2) and a 44% chance for a major hurricane near or making landfall in Florida.

Folks that choose to live in harms way.. mudslides, Hurricane coasts... should not expect sympathy .

I have heard them plastic cars burn up real good too.

I look at it this way, they had ample warning that Ian was coming. They should have moved their autos a few miles North and Ubered back home.

just short story from years ago. We used to work midnights and one of the guys had a vette. the anti theft system was under the hood, if I remember right it was a key switch like a door or ignition key. Well one of the guys who just got off shift came back in and told the fellow his car was on fire. We all joked around quite a bit and Rick never believed the fellow. He must have argued for close to five minutes till someone who had walked to the front window yelled back and said his vette was melting. Turns out the burglar alarm or whatever you called it in those days shorted out and caught the engine bay on fire, by the time it was finally put out the whole front clip was basically melted around the motor. this would have been the late 70's or early 80's and the car I think was a 73.........

I would agree with you more than once if I could.
Just because someone lives on the coast and gets wrecked by a storm...............should not be reflected in my insurance premiums farther inland.
Further.........if a person wants to be Billy Badass and ride it out...............make sure you have supplies for a month............

I have watched numerous cars catch fire from shorts... including driving a datsun pickup to work one night... I ended up in a steak house parking lot away from other cars when the dash started on fire. Got my pistol out of the glove box...my .30 lunch box and watched it burn before the fire dept arrived. It was covered by insurance.
