The worst part about it is that that instability is on public display every time we get another battery fire. It shakes American confidence in EVs when it's the country that most desperately needs to adapt non-fossil fuel cars at a higher rate. I wish we knew more about the implementation process...

So accompany every battery fire report with reports of all the fossil fuel fires in the same period.

The EV fires look worse from a public perception perspective. I am sure there are plenty more fossil fuel car fires, but seeing a full EV car engulfed in flames multiple times is not a great look. I'm just saying they need to do better if we want people to go more green

Perfectionism is the worst enemy. You pretend to be an ally but then treat any failure as a total disaster.

Okay then. Tell me what you think can be done to increase the adoption of EVs in the United States?

Give fuel fires the same coverage as EV fires. Every gas station catching on fire or exploding. Every car spontaneously catching fire. Every home burned down because a fuel burning vehicle caught fire in the garage.
Just give proportional air time to incidents based on fires per vehicle.
This one BEV got half an hour of air time during the week? Why aren’t there a hundred hours of fuel burning vehicles catching fire?
This one BEV came off the road at high speed, hit a tree and all the occupants died? Why aren’t there an equal number of minutes for the non-BEV fatal single vehicle accidents?
