Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian, top Florida official warns
Electric vehicles are exploding from water damage after Hurricane Ian, top Florida official warns. Just what we needed, yet another reason not to buy an electric car. On top of high prices, high and rising electricity costs, high charger rates, short range, long recharging times, unreliability, and high battery replacement costs, we now have this!
There’s a ton of EVs disabled from Ian. As those batteries corrode, fires start. That’s a new challenge that our firefighters haven’t faced before. At least on this kind of scale. #HurricaneIan pic.twitter.com/WsErgA6evO

Man Buys $115,000 Hummer Electric Truck – It Immediately Left Him Stranded in Middle of Road
Man Buys $115,000 Hummer Electric Truck – It Immediately Left Him Stranded in Middle of Road. Sorry GM, we won’t be buying one of these heaps (Or anyone else’s) anytime soon. This would really be exciting. if it happened 30 miles north of Lovelock, Nevada in the middle of nowhere. Out there if you call AAA they laugh and hang up.
After only a few days, and with fewer than 250 miles on the vehicle, the Hummer had problems in spectacular fashion. Alone on a busy highway, Mica found himself stranded.
The Hummer ceased to budge.
The shifter wouldn’t move. The trunk refused to open.
And then there is the simple matter of recharging the battery. Something that under some conditions may take days to build up for the Hummer EV.
Family Towed Camper with EV Truck – It Died and Had to Be Towed to New Charger by Fuel-Powered Tow Truck
Family Towed Camper with EV Truck – It Died and Had to Be Towed to New Charger by Fuel-Powered Tow Truck. Perhaps they should put a generator in the back of the pickup or their 30′ trailer for those occasions when the public chargers don’t work. Maybe Ford should rename it the F-150 Leisurely because you’re not going anywhere fast.
Besides, it’s only 275 miles from Lincoln, NE to Ogalla, NE. Divide that by the 3 stops they made to charge up and it works out to a whopping 91.7 miles before charging is needed. What a joke.
