Batteries still aren’t getting lighter and EV’s are getting heavier. It remains a concern for road safety. Some computer modelling shows that an EV can crush a smaller vehicle due to it’s heft in an auto accident. With little chance of survival for the smaller car. The battey on fire in the EV… well we all know about that issue.

Seems to be part of Germany's political culture. Recent example is to go all-in on a supplier of natural gas. Whoops, guess that wasn't a great idea.

I was talking to my PA the other day. She said she thinks her EV charger was hacked. Reading online. Cyber security is an issue. People can turn off charging midway and demand a ransom.

EV charging cables are an easy target for thieves and in UK if you charge on the street or even in your driveway overnight these cables are easy to take and sell off.
Of more concern is that charging one of these things in your garage may be like a grenade waiting to go off with the lithium ever at risk from igniting and even killing you if the garage is connected to your home. It's well known by now that it's difficult to put out an EV car fire and it will burn for much longer whatever fire extinguishing liquids are applied. |

It’s pretty hard to come by run flats in 22” guise. Also you need something ‘A’ rated because anything less will impact EV range. Many of them don’t come with a spare anyway.

^ I think run flats are heavier than normal tubeless and have more road drag lessening range and that goes for gas cars also. Always best to purchase a space saver spare wheel if there is just a liquid repair kit and carry wheel change tools.

IF it succeeded and IF an EV was your only means.
"High-altitude balloons, such as the one China has floated over mountain state military bases this week, are considered a key “delivery platform” for secret nuclear strikes on America’s electric grid, according to intelligence officials." Uhhh, the wind blew it over there. That's the ticket!
