EVs present multiple safety problems for the public

Which completely misses the point.

Hey Bozo, EV SUVs will be 30% heavier than their ICE counterparts. And you present ZERO data that SUVs are heavier than passenger cars (as is usual for your bloviation). What the industry calls a "SUV" is nothing more that a 4WD car with a hatchback.

Ditto on your total lack of supporting data.

Hey Bozo, this is FACT, not fiction. What happens in the future DOES NOT change what is happening NOW.

That is called a "toll road" fool, which represents a VERY SMALL percentage of the total roadways.

BTW Bozo, you can't even spell the city you live in "Sydney"

But that does make them heavier. A four wheel drive is a heavier and lossier transmission system than you need for a two wheel drive vehicle, and tend to come with a more powerful and heavier engine. The evidence is so readily available that providing a link would be patronising the reader. You are an exceptionally stupid reader, and I supposed I should have made an exception for you.

And - idiot that you are - you have missed the main point that vehicles come in a range of weights. and parking garages have to be designed to cope with worst cases situations plus a margin of error.

As if an intelligent reader wound need it.

Parking garages aren't collapsing under the extra weight of EVs now, nor are EV's destroying lighter cars in accidents. You were complaining about what you imagine might happen in the future - you can't reasonably insist that I restrict myself to the present when you don't. Of course "reasoning" is something you used to be able to do.

But even you should be able to work out that the system is capable of extension. The obiquitous mobile phone network now offers all sort of possibiiities for tax collection which haven't yet been exploited.,

Lithium batteries are also a risk to airplanes:

Ask any right-wing lunatic. If Flyguy believes it, it's got to be being pushed by lunatic fringe Repulbicans.

Lithium batteries may have had something to do with with the disappearance almost 10 years ago of Malaysia Airlines flight 370:

Since nobody has found the wreck yet, this is pure speculation.

Right-wing lunatics like gggg gggg and Flyguy think that lithium batteries can explode spontaneously, without prior warning. In reality the process of increasing self-discharge and self-heating thant can run away when the battery core gets up to about 120C is along=drawn out process, and any battery big enough to dangerous comes with a built-in battery monitor that keeps track of the temperature of the battery core and the battery surface, and makes all kind of fuss if the battery is showing significant self-heating.

That's what I posted. Video clips aren't any kind of counter-argument. Better than Flyguys "translations" into what he'd like the message to have meant, but still a waste of bandwidth.

According to the book "The Disappearing Act: The Impossible Case of MH370":

- Peter Chong, whom I met a year later during another assignment in Kuala Lumpur, was a friend of the missing pilot and had initially been told that the plane had crashed in the Gulf of Thailand. Flying business class on Malaysia Airlines on his way back from Bangkok on the evening of Monday, 10 March, he asked the air hostesses to convey his condolences to the pilots of his own flight. ‘I just wanted to express my solidarity in these trying circumstances,’ he explained to me. To his very great surprise, a message scribbled on a paper napkin came back to him a few minutes later. In the note, which he tucked away for safekeeping, the captain thanked him and added, ‘Wreckage to your left’. At the time, the plane was flying over the southern part of the Gulf of Thailand. Peter Chong peered out the window and saw a clearly lit area at sea where he said he was able to make out intensive search operations. Chong took this as evidence that, ‘at that stage, Malaysia Airlines believed the plane to have gone down in that area and had informed its crews’.

Some publishers publish "true romance" novels which are cheap trash but popular with a certain kind of audience. Others publish idiot conspiracy theories which are also cheap trash,. but popular with a different kind of audience. Nobody sane taken them any more seriously.

Pictures of small batteries without proper battery monitoring blowing up aren't evidence that they blow up spontaneously without any prior warning.

People don't post anything about the prior warnings they didn't understand or merely ignored. The object isn't going to get photographed until it doing something dramatic, and the photographer isn't going to advertise the stupidity that let the batter get into that state.

Cheap e-bikes don't always have good battery monitoring systems and idiot owners have been known to ignore good advice.

Some of it is just evolution in action, as stupid people win Darwin Awards for taking themselves out of the gene pool. Flyguy hasn't made it yet.

What about this recent fire at Sydney airport?:

If you had actually read the report you'd be aware that the battery had been taken out of the car sometime before it caught fire.

Why a detached battery had been left there hasn't yet been explained, but presumably there were issues with the battery that had lead to it being taken out if the car. The idiot owner issue may turn out to be an element in the incident.

That little thing? The really odd part is, the battery was not in the car when it caught fire. WTF???

This was initially reported to have started as an EV fire. They corrected it later to say it was a diesel car that first caught fire. Hundreds of cars and the airport was shut down. Diesels are dangerous!

Cursitor Doom is more into black-washing and absurd allegations. He's convinced that they work and he puts a lot of effort into posting misleading (if obviously absurd) misinformation.

Sadly, his magnum opus - his "proof" that climate change isn't actually happening - depended on the erratic results of some very dubious numbers published in the 1890's which he has cherry-picked to trump Charles Keeling much more thorough work. He should have taken it to the Edinburgh Festival as contribution to the theatre of the absurd.
