...esp. since the whole "carbon footprint" thing is pure BS.
The batteries are toxic, and if fire & rescue try to put out a Prius fire with water, can EXPLODE violently, all the while spewing quantities of highly lethal toxins into the air.
Question: Is anyone here part of Fire & Rescue? If so, have you had training on how to handle the issues from a battery breach/fire on a hybrid or electric car?
None are, to my knowledge.
