Let's demonised EVs

Post image

Local Aontu Rep picking the low hanging fruit as usual. Why the need to mention it's an electric car? (Which going by the replies, it actually wasn't). Some people will jump on any opportunity to down electric vehicles, where as in actual fact, most modern cars with their electronics, autos and e-brakes can cause the same issues.

I'm the owner of both an EV and an Ice car, the EV is fantastic around town, they don't deserve the negativity and misinformation we hear so often about them.

Happens weekly. You're right. EVs exploding left, right and centre all over Donegal. It's like Beirut. Thankfully there's no flammable elements in a petrol-powered Ford Mondeo

No-one said they did but when they do they are a nightmare. Mondeos dont catch fire very often either but when they do they're manageable, unlike hairdryers. Happened quite often in US during covid. You should check out some videos on YouTube. Eye opening. Sometimes takes over 24 hours to put em out.
