EV Suspected of Causing Ship Fire; Truth Revealed

Massive Cargo Ship Fire Likely Sparked by ⁤Exploding Electric Vehicle

Authorities say the ​massive ⁢cargo hold fire at sea of a Panamanian​ car-carrying ship off the coast of⁣ the ​northern Dutch island of Ameland was likely sparked when one of the electric⁣ vehicles ​the ship was transporting exploded.

The Fremantle ⁣Highway was headed⁤ toward Singapore when the ⁣fire ⁣broke out ⁤Wednesday, according to AFP.

Now, all ⁢3,000 new cars being transported on the ⁣carrier⁣ are under threat of destruction.

“We are now trying to extinguish‌ the ​fire in cooperation with the local authorities of [the] Netherlands, the salvor and the ​ship⁤ management company,” shipping company Shoei Kisen Kaisha said in‍ a statement.

It added​ that “there ⁤is a good chance that the fire ‍started” with one ⁤of the 25 electric cars that were onboard the Freemantle ⁣Highway.

Shoei Kisen ‍Kaisha said an official investigation will make the ultimate determination.

The Dutch investigative agency⁣ Rijkswaterstaat‍ said the situation ​was⁤ “stable” but noted the ship ⁢can’t be moved until the fire is⁢ completely out.

The fire was still smoldering and “could ‍burn for days,” according to a ‌Dutch coast guard‍ official.

The​ crew of the Fremantle Highway issued⁤ a‌ distress call when the ship ⁣was about 14.5 nautical miles off Ameland, according to AFP.

One person ‌was killed in the fire and several were injured, the report ⁢said. The crew was evacuated from the vessel.

Dutch officials are fearful of⁣ an ecological disaster ‍ if the‌ ship sinks in its territorial waters.

“Currently several parties including salvagers and the Dutch authorities are looking at minimizing the ‍damage as much as ⁢possible,” the country’s coast guard ⁢said, according to AFP.

EVs: Not as Safe or Environmentally Friendly as Claimed

This is just one more example of​ how EVs are not as​ safe‍ or as environmentally friendly as greenies⁣ and government shills ⁤would like us to ‍believe.

It has long ⁤been ‌known that⁤ fires sparked by electric bikes, scooters ⁣and⁤ cars are extremely volatile ‌and dangerous, ​especially ​to homeowners who⁤ have such vehicles parked in home garages.

Fire departments have warned that such fires often take thousands​ of gallons of water to douse​ because the massive batteries ⁤tend to continue feeding power to the⁤ fire even when submerged​ in water.

If your EV catches ⁢on fire, don’t worry, it’ll⁢ only ‌take ⁢7 hours and 28k gallons of water⁤ to put out the fire. But rest assured, EV’s are super safe and great for the environment — or something like that ​ https://t.co/Ob1vWrzvrr

While this ship fire might pose⁣ an environmental threat to‍ the fisheries and habitats‍ off the Dutch coast, EVs are a disaster in many other ways.

For instance, they necessitate massive mining operations⁣ to dig up the huge amount of rare earth​ materials‍ and the cobalt,‍ lithium and other‌ metals needed for their massive battery packs.

It all goes to show that EVs aren’t the panacea to stop climate ‌change that President Joe Biden and his green‍ religionists claim.
