EV opposition in the media is ramping up

[salty]

Report from Bedfordshire F&R. Quote: "The vehicle involved was diesel-powered – it was not a mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid or electric vehicle."
Fire at airport car park started accidentally | Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service

No it wasn't, it was an EV. The Media said so. So must be true.

According to the conspiracy theorists and fudsters the Bedfordshire Fire Service have been told/ordered/bunged (take your pick) to create a false report. They would also have us believe the most leaky UK govt in living memory would be so watertight on this occasion, that nobody would spill the beans on the 'cover up'.

E-Pace is a hybrid ... the electric version is the I-Pace

 

[OriginalBigAl]

[Rolfe]

Not even the Tesla, that was an innocent victim.

Total Bollox again as usual. Trouble is we are gonna get these sort of stories on a regular basis now. The Driver makes a balls of something, and due to the mass hysteria surrounding EVs, they think Oooo
I'll blame it on EVs, even if the idiot isn't driving an EV. And of course the media is only to willing to jump on the story. Coz when has the media ever let the actual FACTS spoil a story.

I intend too. I only tend to watch those posted on here. Only watch them to see the total Sh1te that's spouted about EVs. And as you say usually posted by little sh1ts.

Somebody must have told them....

"This is the shocking moment a car owner claims that his 'rogue' hybrid Jaguar car took on a mind of its own and damaged three high-end cars in a scene out of a demolition derby."

It's a classic of its genre...

You're underplaying it ... an ICE is a minimum 6x more likely to catch fire, 20x according to some statistics.

Given all the press hysteria it was refreshing to find this balanced Sunday Times article: Are electric cars more likely to catch fire than petrol and diesel cars? (driving.co.uk)

Turns out it's a "mild hybrid", so mild it's not even correct to call it a hybrid. Not a plug-in. Tiny battery. Basically an ICE with a weenie battery that might improve efficiency a tad.

Nice to see some positivity from motoring journalists.

Here talking about how he thinks EV prices will start to fall.

The tin foil hat nuts just can't stop.

Sigh. He even admits that ICE car fires have destroyed car parks.

Course they have, it's not a new EV phenomenon. As EV haters and the Media would have everyone believe. It really is all getting a bit boring now.

You really are aiming low here.
