Looking at your evidence, I see that one car caught fire in a hurricane. One car. There is mention of "tons" in a tweet, but there is no evidence of more than one single car.
Is there a potential catastrophic failure mode for EVs in a hurricane? It would seem the answer to that question is yes. The failure mode in the case of the evidence you presented cost "thousands of gallons of water." Oh no...
No loss of life, just some water.
You know what we call that? A successful test and a design problem that will be fixed in the next iteration.
Look, I'm not saying they are perfect. I said the opposite, but your assessment of "complete shit" is not supported by any evidence you have shown, or that I have seen anywhere else (and I look all the time). From what I can tell, every single Tesla Fire is pushed by the media. Petro car fires are never talked about, yet happen much more often, even relative to the number of cars. That doesn't mean I don't agree that fires are an issue. I absolutely agree, but anecdotal evidence of catastrophic failure modes is not evidence of "complete shit." That is what you expect of any new technology.
There are many benefits to EVs. There are many benefits of Petrol's. They are complementary techs. Neither is perfect, both are toxic. We need to start having honest conversations about both of them, rather than suggesting that one side is clearly better than the other when that is simply not true, and is instead a repeat of rhetoric designed to give people their respective beliefs.
I know about 6 or so owners of electric vehicles, first three months is awesome, a year later they don’t know why they bought these pain in the asses lol.
