Why Electric Cars!? Who Said This Was A Good Idea Immediately!?
(No waiting for research or history to support the demand. And more important the electrical gird is 50 years away, if ever, from supporting all electric cars, trucks and appliance.)
This is the reason why some underground car-parks in Germany don’t allow electric-powered vehicles into their premises.
What you see in this video is an electric car at a charging station with a shorting cell setting off a fire. Eventually, all the cars in that charging line were lost. Note the time it took to destroy 3 cars -- just over 1 minute.
The first car was destroyed in about 38 seconds. The fire cannot be extinguished with water. No fire department will approach a burning battery-powered car because of the toxic gases produced during the fire.

No recycling plant will take the destroyed car on account of the toxic chemicals contained in the batteries.
Maybe we should slow down our rush to replace existing sources of power until we find a safe, sustainable alternative fuel that doesn't cost the earth.

(Or the lives of thousands of children digging in the open pit mining around the world for hard-to-find battery components!)
