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.
