A rude awakening for people who decided to purchase an electric car after deciding to listen to Joe Biden’s advice. Governor DeSantis and Florida officials warned electric vehicle owners of hurricane Idalia.

Two Tesla cars went up in flames after the hurricane subsided.

It should also be noted that while government data indicates combustion engine cars do catch fire more often than electric vehicles, the information comparing electric vehicles to gas-powered ones is not comprehensive enough to determine which of the two vehicles are more flammable including more dangerous to owners.

When electric vehicles catch fire, they get more press coverage because the cars and trucks are so new and they also take more time and effort to extinguish. Regardless if you own a gas-powered or electric vehicle, it is important to take the necessary precautions to avoid harm to you and your property.
