    This is some what a long read of the fire risks of EV's and the state of the protcols to deal with them.

    Many of the points have been discussed here in this ng. Nevertheless there
    are some points which one may not be aware of.

    As soon as I saw this "Labour/Greens forced EVs on the public" then I
    doubted the veracity of the entire article. EVs were subsidised but
    not forced on the public. An outrageous statement like this leads me
    to conclude everything in the article could be similar crap.

    I agree that fire risks do need to be assessed for all forms of motive transport, however the article presents no evidence that the fire risk
    of EVs is disproportionate to the percentage of the national fleet (ie
    very small).

    The whole point of subsidisation is that it increases uptake -- in
    this case, public uptake. While no individual person was "forced",
    the public group was indeed "forced", i.e., financially induced, to a
    greater uptake of EVs than would otherwise have happened.

    So there we have the Centrist making a shallow dive - this may be an
    attempt to distract from the stupidity of paying money for not meeting
    emission targets when we could have saved the country money by
    continuing the mild encouragement of more fuel efficient and lower
    emitting vehicles. Encouragement is not forcing people at all at the
    levels set by the previous government, but again the political
    rhetoric outweighs sensible discussion by "The Centrist," and the
    unthinking followers just lap it up . . .

    No, they learn, you lap up the left wing lies and bathe in them in your tiny mind.

    I note that the link was deleted in the third post under this subject
    - clearly Willy Nilly did not want readers to actually reflect on the
    article. Alarmist articles from the far-right are not uncommon - they
    want unfettered extractive industries to deliver profits for the few,
    at the expense of the many - they don't care about clean air or about
    climate change. But with some things the only response the "Right"
    have is to try to shut down discussion. We have seen that payback to
    tobacco company support is more important than tobacco deaths -
    already reductions in smoking have slowed under the influence of
    ACT/Nat pay-back for tobacco industry support.

    The reality is that New Zealand is as far ahead as anywhere in the
    world in being prepared for vehicle fires from electric vehicles;
    arguably we are less well prepared for the effects of climate change
    on the prevalence of fires and storms; we underestimate the danger to
    roads from slips and earthquakes, and we underestimate the advantage
    of keeping a functioning rail system than can be more easily restored
    than some highways - and the stupidity of cutting the rail link across
    Cook Strait is something that Nicola Willis is actively avoiding. As
    Luxon would say to you, Tony, buying an EV is what people do to show
    that they are sorted - so suck it up, Tony - the reality is that the
    government does not care about problems with EVs - and they are
    entitled . . . .

    The reality is that New Zealand is as far ahead as anywhere in the

    You really don't trust anything that is not privately owned, don't you
    Tony. Your are thoroughly indoctrinated to the point you cannot accept
    anything not fed to you by the far-right. I hope you are wealthy
    enough to afford health insurance when you get older Tony - ACT are
    heading towards moving New Zealand towards private hospitals . . .

    arguably we are less well prepared for the effects of climate change
    on the prevalence of fires and storms; we underestimate the danger to

    No, you substandrad troll, all that you wrote is bullshit. Unsupported bullshit
    at that.
    Did you realise that the ships Willis proposes to buy will not have
    room for a locomotive to get from the South Island to the North? That
    means they will have to set up a separate maintenance operation in the
    South Island . . ., and also potentially not having even rail
    carriages, so that it would be necessary to rely on taking containers
    by truck across the strait in either direction - supporting the
    trucking industry at the expense of most New Zealanders.

    But that is a little far away from fire risks from EVs - do you really
    think our fire service has ignored the potential problem?

    You have been given this link before:
    https://www.politicalcompass.org/nz2023
    and have not been able to show any reason not to believe it. On the
    left/right axis ACT has been slightly to the right of National for a
    long time now. I am sorry if you are having period problems but that
    is not really relevant to this thread. Look at the chart for New
    Zealand 2017 - since then ACT has moved to the furthest right of all
    parties on the chart.

    If you believe that chart to be wrong, give credible evidence for your
    strange opinion.



    The reality is that New Zealand is as far ahead as anywhere in the >>>>world in being prepared for vehicle fires from electric vehicles; >>>Nonsense - find evidence of that or go away.

    No abuse - but I can understand if you think Seymour is abusing his
    position as nominal leader (on behalf of the Atlas Network) of a small political party in New Zealand . . . https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/534800/act-wielding-disproportionate-influence-in-government-david-seymour

    "And while it's not yet December he's already turning his mind to
    ideas ACT might push next year, hinting privatising the healthcare
    system would be one of them.

    Seymour said a conversation about the future of the health system was
    needed as it was not working as is.

    "Fundamentally, for the number of patients and their demands and the
    amount of money that's going in we've got very good health
    professionals stuck in the middle and the system is failing them and
    the patients."

    "I think that it is going to need to change and I think we'll have
    more to say about that in 2025." "

    It is a direct quote from David Seymour! Are you saying that he lied?
    You lied. I never do.
    Not what I asked - do you believe the article that says that Seymour
    hinted that privatising the healthcare system would be an idea he
    would push next year?

    "Of COurse" there is not. Period!
    ACT are not far right and you know that. SO you are lying.

    You have been given this link before: >>>>>https://www.politicalcompass.org/nz2023
    and have not been able to show any reason not to believe it.

    No, you have asserted that it is left wing, but never with any >>>explanation for that absurd assertion, or even giving an explanation

    Not absurd, your notion that it is balanced is the real absurdity. And you >>have
    had that demonstrated many times.
    I have not seen any such demonstration, from either you or anyone
    else. You keep asserting that you have provided evidence of your
    assertion but there is none in either your recent post or any others.
    Yes there is. Repeating your lie does not negate it.

    On the
    left/right axis ACT has been slightly to the right of National for a >>>>>long time now. I am sorry if you are having period problems but that >>>>>is not really relevant to this thread.

    Are you having a mental episode, Tony?
    Not me, your nasty abuse of women noted by all who read your post - you >>disgust
    us.
    Who besides you is asserting such disgust, Tony?
    Your comment was obviously a slur against women. You are disgusting.


    Look at the chart for New

    They are not Far RIght you imbecile.
    Of course they are. The link to the Atlas Network are strong - read up >>>about it, Tony.
    Bullshit - you cannot sustain that lie. They are centre right by national and >>international standards. You are a liar.
    So show us those national and international standards - at present all
    you have are unsupported assertions that appear not to be shared by
    anyone other than you.
    You are lying and you know it.




    If you believe that chart to be wrong, give credible evidence for your >>>>>strange opinion.
    Already done several times. You [prove that your lies are in fact truths - >>>>you

    You lie, you have never given anything more than your unsupported >>>opinion. I do not believe you have any "evidence" to support your >>>opinion.
    I have and it is you that continues to lie. I don't lie.
    You have not given or been able to refer to any facts that you have
    provided that anyone other than you believes that the ACT party is
    accurately described as "centre-right".
    They are nothing else. And you have never provided evidence that they are anything else.
