Well, sure! That way any battery fire won't destroy the car.
The fact that the car is already destroyed is moot.

Right. But the pedestrians or motorcyclists in it's path are hating life.
US Treasury Says More Electric Vehicles Will Qualify For Tax Credit
Economy And Jobs, Inflation, Electric Vehicles, Treasury Department, Biden Administration, General Motors, Inflation Reduction ActAllSides Summary
The Biden Administration has expanded the number of electric vehicles that will qualify for a tax credit.The Details: The changes, announced by the Treasury Department on Friday, expand what the U.S. government qualifies as an SUV. This allows more vehicles to be eligible under the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act which enables consumers who purchase a qualifying SUV for $80,000 or less, or a passenger car for $55,000 or less to receive a $7,500 tax credit. Vehicles purchased after Jan. 1.
For Context: The move comes after prolonged pressure from auto industry manufacturers and lobbyists who believed the IRA’s initial definition of SUVs was inconsistent with how other federal agencies defined them. The IRA also stated that in order for a vehicle to be eligible for the credit, 40% of critical minerals used in batteries must be sourced in the U.S. or countries that hold free trade agreements with the U.S. However the Treasury Department says guidance on these requirements, which will likely disqualify many vehicles, will not be issued until March.
Key Quotes: Prior to the changes, Tesla CEO Elon Musk had called the EV tax rules “messed up”. John Bozzella, president of Washington-based trade group Alliance for Automotive Innovation, called the changes “a very good decision” that “helps customers”.
How The Media Covered It: Sources across the political spectrum covered the news similarly, and emphasized that conditions will change when new battery-sourcing guidelines are implemented in March.

I understand your concern about battery fires, but it's important to note that these incidents are quite rare, and the car industry has made significant strides in terms of safety. However, it's always good to stay informed and educated about the latest developments. If you're interested in learning more about electric cars and their impact on the automotive industry, I'd recommend checking out Zumroad's website https://zumroad.com/automotive .

Don't matter EV's are still junk! Maybe in 20 years they will make enough improvements to them to make them viable. Snowflakes can only hope.

Here. Read through these. They hit my "uncanny valley" funnybone. Might be an odd human, but it seems off.
They didn't come thru sorry.

Owners are told not to park the vehicles inside garages or buildings until the problem is fixed.
Oh wait. This isn't EV news at all. I've been told that only EVs are so dangerous as to require being parked outside....
It figures. I have been trying to research gas stations and have not found a single instance where the federal government installed gas stations at tax payers expense. If you do locate some please post the link(s) that show $7.5B of federal taxes (adjusted to todays dollars) used to install gas stations.
If EV's are so cost effective why can't the manufactures install 100% of the charging stations?
