I have driven both gas and diesel vehicles for over 20 years, from small cars to bulldozers, and had all different kinds of them fail spectacularly at the worst moments. I have got gas at places where they accidentally put diesel in the gas tanks, diesel from places that had water ingress, rods thrown through the side of the block 1,000 miles away from home, you name it. I don't own an electric vehicle but I don't think anyone that does is under the impression that they would be completely problem free. It seems strange to me that a couple hundred thousand cars burn to the ground ever year in the US but all the news stories focus on the handful of EV fires. I also find it suspicious that the slightest problems they have are simultaneously written about by dozens of news sites with nearly the same wording. I don't have any skin in the EV game, but it's hard not to notice the bias against them. It would be interesting to see where the money flows to and from in all this reporting.
