    A tank of gasoline is far more likely to explode with 10x more energy.

      Unfortunately I can’t seem to refill my tank by passing in excess electricity. Pretty sure I can recharge the battery more than 10 times and get more energy over lifetime of usage

      i’d say it’s equally likely, and yes, internal combustion engine vehicles are literally madness. it’s a miracle anybody actually uses these machines, IMO. they sound insane.

        Not equally, much more likely as a function of distance driven. If we had started with EVs and considered transition to gasoline, people would have considered it insanely dangerous.

        That not even considering the ships, tanker cars and trucks blowing up, sometimes taking out entire cities.

          What truck has taken out an entire city? We did pretty much transition from EVs to ICE, EVs have been around at least as long as ICE vehicles.
