That ingenious title sprung from the great mind of John Cadogan (below) whose positively reviewed EVs in past videos but rejects the glode-saving religion thats formed around many of their ultra-passionate owners.

That Aussie is classic truth teller.
As a retired chemist, we used to have fun chucking chunks of lithium and sodium into bodies of water and watching them burn in the water.
Lithium desperately wants oxygen and nitrogen anywhere it can get it or scavenge it (Li oxidizes or gives up an electron) and likes to feed off of the flammable electrolytes in batteries! The ball rolls downhill and is unstoppable!
Careful if you have an electric bike. Those can burn down your garage or house or apartment building!
For as much as I love things on two wheels, if its to he powered by something other than my legs, it’s likely going to have a conventional gasoline engine. 😀
The arrogance is just stunning. It's as if the solar panels and batteries are created by a fairy godmother.
Good stuff here!
