I'm already getting grief that my Horn mod may cause undue harm to individuals who are scared by an electric car with such a loud beep!
EVDRIVER said:"And there will be guaranteed" Can you please back that irresponsible fear mongering statement up. I say this because your statement implies it will happen related to the EVSE upgrade. You don't specify a generic EV fire.
In the case of the fire with the Volt. I am very suspicious of this entire incident....
... people even like Mark Perry that make fear-based statements on topics they have little knowledge.
fear is the new intelligence in America not facts and reason. DI you know EVs pollute more than ICE cars because of electricity form Coal?
yes - but that guy had a DIY EV.TonyWilliams said:Already one electric car made national news when the garage burnt down. If it had been a Nissan, and an "unapproved" electric "hack", I think my scenario is certainly reasonable.

You don't specify a generic EV fire. Many idiots may start garage fires with cobbled together EV conversions with wires dangling and unsafe chargers.

TEG said:Yes, I was an active moderator on various forums in the past... Not currently though.
VBB can be set to show edit notes at the bottom of posts ("last edited by XYZ at time/date") if they want to track that.

USA Today: "Nissan betting big on electric cars despite poor sales"
>sigh<
Not that it will do any good.Right facts, wrong analysis. Nissan has sold every single LEAF they were able to make. Had they made more, they would have sold more. In fact, they sold more than the GM did the Volt...which also means nothing as GM has also sold all they could make. Dumb article.
