What's happening at BMW as far as EV's are concerned is not good.

This Tesla crash and fire happened about a week ago, I thought about posting the story of yet another vehicle fire that was very challenging to extinguish but I thought I'd put it on the back burner. Then this story comes out that the deceased was unable to get out of the vehicle as reported due to the electronic locks/doors. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/she...a9a9927d5.html

I'm just listening to to talk radio and this comes on for discussion:

"State Farm, the largest auto and home insurance company in the U.S., has removed all electric vehicle (EV) chargers from its parking garages, citing concerns over fire risks. The decision, announced in late October and effective almost immediately after that, affects chargers at the company’s head office in Bloomington, Illinois; and at its hub locations across the country."
