It was announced earlier this week that the Norwegian shipping company Havila has become the first company to prohibit EV cars on their ferries, following the sinking of the ferry “Felicity Ace” last year, which resulted from a fire of EV car batteries.

THE LISTED NORWEGIAN SHIPPING COMPANY HAVILA HAS PROHIBITED ELECTRIC, HYBRID AND HYDROGEN CARS FROM ENTERING THEIR FERRIES. AFTER A RISK ANALYSIS, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE RISK TO THE SAFETY OF THE SHIP FLEET WAS TOO GREAT. IF A CAR STARTS TO BURN, THE FIRE CAN NO LONGER BE EXTINGUISHED.

THE RISKS FOR SHIPS FROM THE T***SPORTATION OF ELECTRIC CARS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED SINCE THE “FELICITY ACE” WENT DOWN IN THE AZORES LAST FEBRUARY. ELECTRIC VEHICLES ON BOARD HAD CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE COULD NOT BE EXTINGUISHED. EVENTUALLY, THE HUGE SHIP SANK WITH THOUSANDS OF ELECTRIC CARS AND PORSCHE OR BENTLEY VEHICLES.

HAVILA SHIPPING COMPANY CHIEF BENT MARTINI SAID A REPORT FROM THE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE SERVICE TRADEWINDS ACCORDING TO THE RISK ANALYSIS, THE FIRE OF AN ELECTRIC CAR REQUIRES A PARTICULARLY COMPLEX RESCUE OPERATION. THE CREW ON BOARD COULD NOT AFFORD THIS. PASSENGERS WOULD ALSO BE AT RISK. IT IS DIFFERENT WITH VEHICLES WITH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES. (FULL ARTICLE HERE.)

The Felicity Ace had 3,828 cars on board when it burned and sank, many of them high-end luxury vehicles.

[LAST YEAR], THERE WAS A CARGO SHIP THAT CAUGHT FIRE AND EVENTUALLY SUNK IN THE ATLANTIC OCEAN. CALLED THE FELICITY ACE, THE VESSEL WAS REPORTED TO HAVE CARRIED THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES, INCLUDING EUROPEAN LUXURY CARS LIKE PORSCHES, LAMBORGHINIS, AND BENTLEYS.

BUT APPARENTLY, THERE WERE ALSO SOME RARE AND IRREPLACEABLE VEHICLES THAT WERE ONBOARD THE SHIP WHEN IT SANK OFF THE COAST OF PORTUGAL. THE SHIP’S MANIFEST WAS AVAILABLE ON THE IMPORTINFO WEBSITE, AND WE WERE ABLE TO CONFIRM ALL THE LOST MAKES AND MODELS. GOING THROUGH ALL OF THEM MIGHT BE TOO MUCH OF A HASSLE, SO WE NARROWED IT DOWN TO MENTIONING THE MOST NOTABLE ONES. ARE YOUR TISSUES READY?

LET’S START WITH THE LAMBORGHINIS. THERE WERE 50 UNITS OF THE ALL-NEW URUS SUV AND 20 HURACAN SPORTS CARS. BUT PERHAPS THE WORST LOSS FROM THE SANT’AGATA STABLE WAS THE 15 “ULTIMAE” AVENTADORS, WHICH WERE SUPPOSED TO BE THE FINAL EDITION EXAMPLES OF THE V12 SUPERCAR.

LAMBORGHINI HAD ALREADY CLOSED DOWN THE AVENTADOR PRODUCTION LINE PRIOR TO THE TRAGIC INCIDENT, BUT NOW THEY’VE RESTARTED THE FACTORY TO REMAKE THE LOST CARS.

WHILE THE ITALIAN SPORTS CAR MAKER LOST 85 CARS, ITS VOLKSWAGEN GROUP SIBLINGS LOST A TOTAL OF 3,024 CARS. AUDI AND PORSCHE LOST 1,194 AND 1,117 CARS RESPECTIVELY, AND THOSE INCLUDE OVER 100 AUDI E-TRONS AND A VARIETY OF PORSCHE CAYENNES, PANAMERAS, AND MACANS. VOLKSWAGEN LOST 523 VEHICLES, WHILE BENTLEY WROTE OFF 190 UNITS.

THOUGH IT’S NOT THE MOST EXPENSIVE ONE ON THE LIST, THE LOSS OF A 1996 PRELUDE WOULD CERTAINLY MAKE A HONDA ENTHUSIAST SAD. THE 90S SPORT COMPACT, ACCORDING TO ITS APPARENT OWNER, WAS REPORTEDLY THE 65TH EVER PRODUCED. AND WORSE, THE TWO-DOOR HONDA C**PE WAS UNINSURED.

THE STAGGERING LOSS OF CARS WAS REPORTED TO BE WORTH AROUND $400 MILLION, AND THE TRAGIC INCIDENT JUST ADDED TO THE WOES OF CAR MANUFACTURERS THAT ARE ALREADY FACING DELAYS DUE TO THE GLOBAL PARTS AND CHIP SHORTAGE. (SOURCE.)

This is another restriction to EV vehicles that surfaced during 2022, as some states, such as California, have mandated that more EV vehicles must be produced to allegedly fight c*****e c****e.

When Hurricane Ian ravaged Florida in 2022, it was reported that many water-logged EV cars caught fire and were very difficult to put out.

ELECTRIC CAR OWNERS HAVE SEEN THEIR RIDES CATCH FIRE AFTER BECOMING WATERLOGGED DURING HURRICANE IAN AND IT CAN TAKE HOURS TO PUT THE CONF**GRATIONS OUT, A TOP FLORIDA OFFICIAL WARNED THURSDAY.

AS THE SUNSHINE STATE RECOVERS FROM THE PUNISHING CATEGORY 4 STORM THAT MADE LANDFALL LAST WEEK, FIRST RESPONDERS HAVE FACED FURTHER DESTRUCTION FROM ELECTRIC VEHICLES THAT WERE SUBMERGED IN WATER FROM THE EXTENSIVE FLOODING AND LATER CAUGHT FIRE, JIMMY PATRONIS, FLORIDA’S CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER AND STATE FIRE MARSHAL, SAID ON TWITTER.

“THERE’S A TON OF EVS DISABLED FROM IAN,” HE TWEETED. “AS THOSE BATTERIES CORRODE, FIRES START.

“THAT’S A NEW CHALLENGE THAT OUR FIREFIGHTERS HAVEN’T FACED BEFORE. AT LEAST ON THIS KIND OF SCALE.” (SOURCE.)

When a heat wave hit California in 2022 just before Labor Day, the government told owners of EV cars to NOT charge them because the electrical grid was overloaded from homes running air conditioning.

You did all that typing for nothing! Prepare for Change is an extreme right wing news source that is known for p***********e and conspiracy theories. Review by Media Bias. Probably not a lick of t***h to the story.

liberalhunter Loc: Your mom's house

Only one wasting time typing is you...... your constant blathering about any source not yours is beyond hypocritical since your sources are leftwing terrorist rags bent upon destroying America.

In short......... shut up.

AmericanEagle Loc: Indiana

So are you too lazy to find out if it's true? Even if you found out it was true you would lie about it I'm guessing because it wouldn't suit your parties authoritarian narrative to ruin our country👎🏻🤮

I think I'll stick with my Lincoln MKX! 1972 Vega...1962 Corvair...1978 Z28 camaro!..[ & other suck gas burners!]

America is not ready for Electric cars of this magnitude! [ 30, 0r 40 years too soon!]...we don't even have a source of Lithium! China, will torpedo us "soon"!

AmericanEagle Loc: Indiana

Since they want to push this crap wouldn't you think they would have charging stations where all the gas stations are now? How the hell are we supposed to travel? Oh forgot they don't want us to .....they want to control us!
This is not about saving the planet, this is all about control. EV cars consume probably twice the energy to make them. Gee I wonder how the minerals get out of the ground to make the batteries😂

Ronald Hatt Loc: Lansing, Mich

"Hummm"...I wonder how they are going to "generate"...all this power, for the charging stations?

What to do about the States, that have sub-zero temps...in winter...[ sub-zero temps...enemy of Electricity!]

Bidens; own 10% of the biggest Lithium mine in the world...[ Africa}...Who do you think owns the other90%?...[ CHINA!}

Guess the outcome of this political debacle? ? ? ?

Remember the part of Texas last year people nearly froze to death because the windmills stopped working due to the cold weather!!

Yep!
