Is it bad for the environment when your EV catches on fire? Just asking for a friend.

Greta Thunberg must be thinking it's the wrong sort of smoke emanating from the spent EV bus so it doesn't count.

So you got that shiny new EV because you hate BIG OIL.
Oil Major ExxonMobil Details Plans To Be A Lithium Major, Too
In a speech delivered November 15 at the APEC Summit in San Francisco, ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods talked about the central role the oil and gas industry must play to make this energy transition a success. In part, he said, “While renewable energy is essential to help the world achieve net zero, it is not sufficient - wind and solar alone can’t solve emissions in the industrial sectors that are at the heart of a modern society. The technologies ExxonMobil is pursuing can.”

Sort of reminds me of the cigarette industry being hated. Yet, they moved to the other addicting segment of human consumption....namely junk food....ala RJR Nabisco.

This...

No truer words have been said:

"... wind and solar alone can’t solve emissions in the industrial sectors that are at the heart of a modern society."

Seems Greta Thunberger is running out of excuses for her actions apart from uttering 'the leaders are not listening!' and she's even taken off her outdated (no future) tee shirt.

This is a timely video. If you all are not aware, Rich Benoit is the personality behind the Youtube channel Rich Rebuilds. He's gained fame for piecing together a functional Model S from two salvaged ones with no prior EV experience. He's gone on to do a bunch of crazy outlandish projects and launched his own EV repair shop called Electrified Garage. The video he just put out goes into the challenges and economics around replacing EV batteries (primarily focused on Teslas) from a EV repair shop owner's perspective.

He did bring up some things that I didn't even think of concerning the EV market. He said more and more people are purposely doing insurance fraud by purposely crashing their vehicles to total them out or vandalizing them. Of course you know what that'll do to insurance rates on these types of vehicles. This is outside of the insurance companies charging more due to higher repair costs with EVs or with the risk of EV fires. The other issue he brought up is in the used/auction market. What looks to be a perfectly fine car that seems to only need body repairs will actually be more when the new owner discovers the battery is shot too.

If you want to jump ahead to the meat of the video, it starts at 4:10.

MacMaster has never been so happy after being stuck with a milk float for 2 years, he's hoping to exchange with a gas Cayman GTS...after he's had his coffee of course.
