There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Good post CobWeb, good observation. No wonder these EVs are so expensive, if some of them just burn up, or on the bottom of the sea. Not very inspiring for me to run and buy a EV, doesn't really mater much, I don't the coin anyway.
Key Background. The cargo ship “Felicity Ace” sank last year after it caught fire 220 miles off the coast of Portugal's Azores Islands. The ship was transporting nearly 4,000 Volkswagen vehicles—including some Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini models, among others—from Germany to Rhode Island, according to Bloomberg.6 days ago
Not EVs.

Your barking up the wrong tree this ship is burning now and has been for about 5 days. The vehicles involved were a shipment of 500 Mercedes electric hazards on wheels.

Interesting coincidence? Jeremy Clarkson was reported yesterday as saying EVs are "bloody dangerous" due to their propensity to go up in flames.

I think I was more surprised by his statement that a fully charged E-bike holds "the same explosive energy as 6 hand grenades". Don't know if that is entirely accurate, but the reports of house fires due to e-bikes have been alarming too.
There must be a better way. Overall, electric vehicles are a lot less "environmentally friendly" than their hype would have you believe.

Utter nonsense.

There is a great deal of official information about EV's that does not agree with the facts.

What I think of EV's is probably not good for this forum, so best I say nothing.
Not really. In a fire, ICE vehicles are more easily handled as far as putting out the fires where EV's are much more dangerous.

Fords latest numbers show a loss of get this, $32,000 :yikes: per slot car. Profit per ice $3200. They are able to offset credits gained by EV sales to continue production of icons like the Mustang. How long they can continue either would seem to be shaky at least.
Tesla have started discounting to try and move a few.
China are the threat and are likely to eventually dominate world sales like this.

The major manufacturers are raising the cost of their internal combustion vehicles to help subsidize the cost of their EVs. People who do not buy EVs are helping pay for them.
It is driving up the cost of all vehicles. The EV rules put in place by government has already driven some formerly USA manufactured vehicles to move their entire operations to other countries.

Oh my, what are we going to do? We're just pawns in the hands of the evil capitalists! (Actually, I do believe that)
No, I think it's all part of the Almighty's Master Plan.
EV fires are definitely worse than gasoline fires, when they do happen...
"SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Three unidentified victims, believed to be prominent businessmen who worked together in construction, died in a high-speed car crash in Salt Lake City after leaving a weekend UFC fight.
“It actually came in as a report of an explosion,” Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesperson, Shaun Mumedy said.
The crash happened near the refinery and the Speedway gas station on Beck Street in Salt Lake.
“We got as close as to the pole, and we couldn’t get any closer; it was really hot, nasty hot, nothing I’ve ever felt before,” an unidentified witness said.
Firefighters were able to put the fire out in just under an hour, that’s when police said they discovered the three in the car had died.
Mumedy said electric vehicle fires can be more dangerous due to the high voltage.
“They can become difficult to fight those fires, if those batteries become compromised and ignite, they can reach temperatures up to 5,000 degrees,” he said.
Mumedy said there probably would have been a car fire regardless of the type of car due to the force of the crash. However, Mumedy said electrical vehicle fires create an environmental threat.
He said if the fire gets out of control - they can be left with a pool of melted metals."
