4. EV batteries burn, they don't explode.

And ev fires are vastly less frequent than gas vehicle fires. The lead in fires per 100,000 vehicles are hybrids at around 3400, standard ice at 1500, and evs at 25.

The bullshit that evs are burning up at astounding rates is a classic FUD campaign from our good friends the fossil fuel oligarchs.

3. Malfunctioning catalytic converter?

The following can cause a catalytic converter to malfunction and even explode:

Overheating: If the engine is running too hot due to a malfunctioning cooling system, a rich fuel mixture, or a misfiring engine, it can cause the catalytic converter to overheat and potentially fail.

Impact damage: If the vehicle runs over a large object on the road or is involved in a collision, the catalytic converter could be damaged or crushed, leading to a potential failure.

Engine misfires: Unburned fuel can enter the catalytic converter and ignite inside, causing excessive heat and pressure that could lead to a failure.

Contaminants: Some substances, such as lead, silicone, or phosphorus, can contaminate the catalytic converter and cause it to fail.

Manufacturing defects: In rare cases, a catalytic converter may have a manufacturing defect that causes it to fail prematurely.

9. Looks like another Jewish Space Laser to me, but I'll wait to see what Marge thinks.

Because it could be a Particle Beam like the one that took down the WTC.

Either way, I'm sure it was an attempt to assassinate Trump.
