    Interesting when facts are used instead of emotions.

     

     

    Kelly Blue Book reported on findings from a study that shows EV are actually less likely to cause or be involved in fires than gasoline-powered or hybrid vehicles.1 Data from the National Transportation Safety Board showed that EVs were involved in approximately 25 fires for every 100,000 sold.  Comparatively, approximately 1,530 gasoline-powered vehicles and 3,475 hybrid vehicles were involved in fires for every 100,000 sold.

    Reporting from other countries supports the assertion that EVs are less fire-prone than gas-powered vehicles.2 Data from Norway, Sweden, and Australia is consistent with findings in the U.S., showing that the prevalence of EV fires remains relatively low.

    gas vehicles combust at the same rate as they always did.

    Is that like a EV backfire or miss with a double post of the same thing or do you need a recharge and running in limp mode again?

    Ok I feel stupid - she married into the family that has owned it since 1964!  It’s the longest family owned race track in Wisconsin… since gma died 5ish years ago, that’s how long they’ve been running WIR.

    All good it does have a long history. 

    Remember going there with my dad in the 60's and 70's.  Early on he told me to watch the 99 car that was Dick Trickle.  At the time think he was running a 65 or 66 Galaxie 500
