    There is no doubt that fossil fuelled vehilces have caused casulaties and deaths. However we have come to live with it and reduce the risk/damage.

    The EV fire is so much more insense and hotter that it sets all the other EVs off next to it, this is the massive danger as I see it. If people can not
    bet away from the car, it will cause the fire to spread. Louton air port car park shows what can happen also another which I can not remember.

    As the article points out this is just another result of Woke thinking that
    EVs are so great. Like the rest of the issues with EVs the safety matter
    will improve, if and only if the masses see death from and EV fire.

    There is a risk from reading Atlas Network websites - is that the risk

    You know which risk I was referring to but your pig-headed refusal to engage your last remaining brain cell is of concern to absolutely nobody that matters.

    And of course all vehicles are potentially dangerous
    And of course your posts are dangerous - but I digress, EVs are arguably more dangersous than any other vehicles quite simply because we have yet to understand how to make them safe (unlike other vehicles). Do take a course in logic. Perhaps a 3rd form lesson or two in basic science would help you.

    The world is working through the issues with EVs and fires, but the Centrist.co.nz articles are taking an extremist view for political
    effect. Did you not realise that the centrist.co.nz website is part of
    the ever-changing NZ Taxpayer Union stable of propaganda sites?

    If it is time to take action what is proposed? Christopher Luxon
    bought a Tesla - does he believe the risk of owning such a car in
    unacceptable?

    Yes they are discouraging them by inadequate justification for hikes
    to Road User Charges, but that is more about affording the bribes to
    Landlords and the now more difficult cut to the top tax rate.

    Of course Tony is wrong - as I said:
    And of course all vehicles are potentially dangerous

    and the Coalition appears determined to make it more dangerous by
    overcrowding roads while increasing speed limits, making public
    transport more expensive and less useful, and encouraging heavy
    transport to be by road rather than rail . . .

    The article does however highlight that the government had not through
    these issues before they were elected, and have apparently done
    nothing to commission work on any changes they may be able to
    implement to mitigate those risks that have been identified - or just
    leave users to accept the risks . . .

    From the Taxpayer Union perspective, this is either an opportunity to
    increase user charges to make income tax cuts easier, or something
    that needs to be planned for because the alternative of limiting the marketplace by making electric vehicles too expensive is totally
    unacceptable . . . After all, wealthy car owners need to have
    Freedumb to buy whatever they want . . .

    Agreed. The article Tony cited is a viewpoint that includes some
    interesting information. I could take a leaf out of your posting
    habits and thank you for agreeing with my submission that your
    previous post was stupid.

    Did you not realise that the centrist.co.nz website is part of
    the ever-changing NZ Taxpayer Union stable of propaganda sites?

    So you say -0 but as usual with no cite.

    If it is time to take action what is proposed? Christopher Luxon
    bought a Tesla - does he believe the risk of owning such a car in >unacceptable?

    Seems self-evident to me. I don't own a Tesla but I do own a BEV so I
    of the same view. The article is of no more interest.

    Yes they are discouraging them by inadequate justification for hikes
    to Road User Charges, but that is more about affording the bribes to >Landlords and the now more difficult cut to the top tax rate.

    You have clearly run out of anything further to say on topic so as
    usual you spout worthless political rhetoric.

    Of course Tony is wrong - as I said:
    And of course all vehicles are potentially dangerous

    and the Coalition appears determined to make it more dangerous by >overcrowding roads while increasing speed limits, making public
    transport more expensive and less useful, and encouraging heavy

    You have wasted time ranting on peripheral issues to the safety of
    BEVs and wandered off into political-rhetoric and again.

    Time to accept there is a risk and take action.
    There is a risk from reading Atlas Network websites - is that the risk
    you are referring to?

    Rubbish, you lie again. Anyone else would be embarrassed by such a
    deliberate lie, but you seem to believe something it true if you say
    it is.


    We don't yet understand the full
    implications of EVs - fact.
    So what? We do know enough to be sure that they are good for New
    Zealand
    Only an idiot believes that. It is yet to be demonstrated.

    And there is just one reason . . .


    You are toeing the party line - fact.
    What party is that? Luxon bought a Tesla, and I expect the limousine
    he takes from his apartment to Parliament is electric as well.
    Who cares, completely irrelevant. You know which party and so do we all.
    Sorry I don't know what vehicles Seymour and Peters drive, but they
    too will use Ministerial hybrid vehicles. If its good enough for them
    and the country, why are they not good enough for you, Tony?

    And there is just one reason . . .
    What is that reason? And you ignore the reasons against.

    A reason why New Zealand is better using electricity for energy than
    coal or gas or petroleum. We cannot get rid of all those other sources
    of energy, but electricity gives us the ability to increase supply
    more efficiently than in any other way.
