Every day there is news on EVs going up in flames and exploding, and some of them without casualties and some of them with casuilties but I never had to witness such thing in a person.

Yesterday, there was a chinese brand EV charging near the hotel where I was staying. I heard people screaming, then I saw a bright fireball that was the charging EV near the hotel. Two people were trying to keep the women trying to get near the car because his child was trapped inside the car, and he couldn't get out in time because door won't the open and, the fireman was too little too late.

The car literally jumped in the air with the force of the explosion before fireman could even try to do anything.

It's ridiculous how these things are happening so often, especially in the summer months. Cars are getting on fire just by driving and doors are locking so you can't even get out.

We need a much safer means of transportation than EV cars until they figure out how to make these things safer for everyone.

People are not only paying for these with their money, but also with their lives.
