Typical forum BS. If you don't like the news message, then attack the messenger by bored members (censorship). Predictable. Battery fires are a big problem for EV manufacturers, but you didn't bother to read that part. As a happy dodge ram gasser, this is no concern to me.
"Battery fires were such a huge issue for General Motors that the company had to issue a mass recall on the Chevy Bolt EV. The recall cost the company over one billion dollars. GM is looking to cut ties with LG following its battery fire issue.
The Ford F-150 Lightning’s battery problem is a huge issue for the EV space for two reasons. This incident makes drivers question the reliability of the electric vehicle. The second, more troubling reason that F-150 Lightning battery fires are a huge issue is because of the specific battery that’s a fire risk.
Battery fires were enough to make GM want to abandon its partnership with LG. It seems LG isn’t the only company that is producing EV batteries that can cause fires. According to CNBC, the F-150 Lightning models that are fire risks are powered by SK On batteries. These batteries power several popular electric vehicles, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6." What part of this news story is a lie ????. This same news has appeared in other business news articles besides motor biscuit KH. Many RVers own other EV vehicles besides the F 150.

Hey Nam, what’s a KH? Btw
Fwiw, when you use an acronym if it’s not widely understood or in enough context to decipher, it’s usually spelled out the first time with the intended acronym following it, in parentheses.
Not mandatory especially in casual conversation such as this, but in the spirit of you being just the “objective messenger”, wanna make sure I didn’t miss anything important that may affect my decision to buy a Ford Lightning.
(The new ones, not the cool old supercharged ones, of course )

No not at all. I just don't think they are special or superior to us ICE Dudes and I agree with Elon Musk on many issues. I do see we have a few censorship members on the forum and my post brings them out of the woodwork. Cheers to the open minded.

GM and LG continue a partnership to build Ultium batteries.
GM did replace batteries for all Bolt's.
There were less Bolt fires than Tesla's running into parked emergency equipment on the highway.
I own a EV, gasoline, and diesel. I use what makes sense. Please continue to research information from reliable and varied sources.
