Florida Chief Financial Officer and State Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis recently sent a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration requesting info on the fire risks created by saltwater mixing with the batteries of electric vehicles.

Last week, electric vehicles were seenin Florida after becoming waterlogged during Hurricane Ian, giving firefighters “a new challenge” they “haven’t faced before,” Patronis said.

The State Fire Marshal went on to say that he was later “informed by the fire department that the vehicle, once again reignited when it was loaded onto the tow truck.” Therefore, Patronis is requesting that the NHTSA provide him with the following information no later than October 14: Do the personal protective equipment , including the gas masks utilized by fire rescue teams, effectively protect first responders from poisonous gases?

I also heard the Florida state fire marshal call on the federal government to do something. They want federal funds for themselves but vote to deny it others. Tired of the hypocrisy. VoteOutEveryRepublican 🗳️📤

In the Winter in my area they put salt down on the roads when it snows or ices to melt it will that affect an electric car's battery?

Don’t forget about the poisoned water going down the drain putting the electric car fire out.

The risk? Out of control fire caustic gasses and explosion. Serious toxic waste/ clean up.

Ban them in all coastal cities. Lol.

How's your 'Green New Deal' working out now? The next thing coming is your insurance won't pay your claim due to manufacturers defect.

Does go along with the left’s narrative, you’ll be silenced

Back to gas cars, folks

I'm not against EV but for someone that's been in the automotive salvage business 35+ years. This is a serious issue!

NYT just outed TomFitton as the snitch on Trump, by citing sources for every fact reported, *except* re Tom. This means Tom is direct reporting. Now Tom needs a bodyguard & not just an attorney, to protect him from Trump-thugs that Tom helped create.

‘Video was horrific’: SAPD Chief says there is no question the officer who shot teenager was not justifiedSan Antonio Police Chief William McManus has spoken out against the former police officer who shot 17-year-old Erik Cantu in the parking lot of a San Antonio McDonald’s on Oct. 2. He’ll appeal in a year and win just like the SA cop that beat up that guy for sitting on the sidewalk and there’s nothing chief McManus can do about it. Broke. System. Needs to be torn down. This chief is easy on criminals, then we wonder why crime is out of control all over our nation. the kid was obviously running and wanted from previous day, attacked the cop with his car but the cop is not allowed to defend himself. “But he’s a good boy” 👀
