In related news: It's summer.

It's always hot in summer, but this heat wave is going to be a doozy. Sunday is supposed to be 105 from what I just looked at. There's a heat advisory, this heat is potentially lethal. And at 105, any EVs parked in the sun are gonna exceed their battery's safe operating temperature of 160F. That seems like a bit of a problem.

Is it bad that I kinda want God to burn down a bunch of EVs with a normal summer, then have a few years of cold?

I don't think it's bad, I'd rather the problem become a squeaky wheel myself. Better now than when it's electric school buses.

Oof yeah no kidding. Cities wasting a few billion here and there when their fleets of metro buses burn at the charging station doesn't bother me as much. A bus full of charred adolescent corpses is going to make a lot of people start fedposting.

    Oh man, I remember years ago we were thankful for the heat wave because they couldn't cut off our electricity over the bill we couldn't afford at the moment. Somehow those still seem like the good times.
