I don't have an EV, and I have no plans to have an EV, but I'm not against EVs.

So is this another reason to have an EV, or is this another reason to live in FL or anywhere that's in danger of flooding with sea water (the entire east coast of the US and along the Gulf of Mexico)?

As they become more prevalent, I feel like something will have to be done. There was the article about a Tesla that had been in an accident. The batteries caught fire while the car was parked at the junk yard or wherever it had been taken. The fire dept put it out several times, but it kept re-igniting. They finally dug a hole and filled it with water and shoved the car into the hole so the batteries were submerged. That was the only way that they could keep the fire out.
