Lithium Ion batteries in water

PSA

Fire Hazzard. Not just EVs. Scooters, golf carts, power tools.
EVs I knew, I had not thought of all the other stuff I own that is battery powered. Tools alone I have a bunch of 12 & 20 volt batteries.

Yeah, gonna be nearly impossible to insure some of these EVs. Between the general huge labor & material costs in regular claims & now this more common risk of burning your house down.

Saw some videos of cars burning down houses in only 6-12 inches of water

Can't imagine the carbon footprint of the car & house burning

Add toxic fumes to the smoke inhalation.

I Can see governments like in California forcing insurance companies to insure EVs. Which will drive up costs for everyone else. A tax.
