The only valid criticisms of EV's are:
They're harder to extinguish than a gas car if they end up catching on fire.
They don't really solve any of the major issues with car based infrastructure.
Tesla is a shit show because of that damn muskrat which pushes a lot of people away from EV's in general.
They are heavier and accelerate faster than an equivalent ICE vehicle on the same frame, and so result in more pedestrian fatalities.
That's not why.
I lump that in with part of the major problems of car based infrastructure but that's still fair to point out.
All else being equal

Yeah that is gonna be a bigger problem than most people imagined.
To be fair, no consumer vehicles have 900 kWh batteries haha.
My firefighter neighbour told me that the procedure now is just to let them burn, like they do with gasoline fires. They make sure it doesn't spread, but they won't try to extinguish it because it'd take 10-12 hours and thousands of gallons. By just letting it burn they're done in an hour with a few hundred gallons.
They don't steal a lot of data too? Or this privacy nightmare affected gas car too?
It's an issue in newer cars in general.
