Electric vehicles (EVs) are all the rage these days. With their promise of lower emissions and smooth, quiet rides, it’s no wonder that the global demand for EVs has been soaring. However, if you live near the coast — or anywhere prone to flooding — there’s a less-talked-about risk that could make you rethink that shiny new electric car parked in your driveway: saltwater-induced fires from flooded EV batteries. <h2>Saltwater and EV batteries</h2>When it comes to EVs, the heart of the vehicle’s power lies in its battery, usually a lithium-ion (Li-ion) pack. These batteries are highly efficient, but they’re also sensitive to water, especially the salty kind. In September and October 2024, the Southeast U.S. was hit by hurricanes Helene and Milton, which caused catastrophic flooding. Thousands of homes were damaged, and in a particularly frightening twist, 11 electric cars and 48 lithium-ion batteries caught fire after being exposed to salty floodwaters. Saltwater is a conductor of electricity, which means it can get into the EV battery packs, triggering a dangerous reaction. When water seeps into the battery, it can cause a short-circuit between the battery's terminals, which may lead to overheating, violent fires, and even explosions. In many cases, the fire doesn’t start right away — it can take hours or even days after the exposure before a thermal runaway event occurs, causing a dangerous blaze. Once the fire starts, it’s nearly impossible to put out with regular fire-fighting methods. Firefighters often have no choice but to let the battery burn itself out. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113906136" title="Planning to purchase an EV? Here&amp;#39;s how to ensure it never catches on fire" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>In 2022, during Hurricane Ian in Florida, 36 EVs that had been flooded reportedly caught fire, even some that were being towed on flatbed trucks. The problem lies in how lithium-ion batteries react to saltwater. The metal terminals in these batteries, when exposed to salty water, can corrode and build short-circuiting paths that lead to fires days later. The fire hazard remains even in fully discharged batteries, meaning even seemingly "safe" vehicles after flooding could still pose a serious threat. <h2>The risk to coastal cities</h2>This issue is especially concerning for coastal cities where rising sea levels and hurricanes are becoming more frequent. According to a 2023 report by the International Energy Agency (IEA), <keyword id="381751" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="electric-vehicle" source="Orion">electric vehicle</keyword> adoption is growing rapidly in many parts of the world, including India, where EV sales increased by around 50% in the first quarter of 2024 alone. Cities like Mumbai, Chennai, and Kochi are embracing EVs due to their environmental benefits and growing infrastructure support. However, these coastal cities are also at higher risk for flooding, making the combination of increased EV adoption and rising sea levels a perfect storm for potential disaster. In fact, areas prone to heavy rains and floods, like India’s coastal cities, are facing unique challenges. The combination of frequent monsoon floods and rising sea levels presents a scenario where more and more EVs could end up submerged in salty floodwaters, increasing the risk of battery fires in the region. <h2>What does this mean for you?</h2>While electric cars are generally safe under normal conditions, the growing risk of battery fires due to flooding is an important factor to consider if you live in flood-prone areas, especially near the sea. The key takeaway here is that EV owners should take extra precautions when natural disasters loom, particularly hurricanes and floods. Here's what you can do to protect your EV: <ul><li>Move your EV to higher ground: If you're in a flood zone, take your EV to higher ground or evacuate it if possible. This will help prevent it from being submerged in salty water.</li><li>Evacuate early: Be proactive and evacuate before the floodwaters hit. Don't wait for the last minute to move your vehicle to safety.</li><li>After the flood, treat submerged EVs with caution: If your EV has been submerged in water, especially saltwater, it’s essential to avoid using it, charging it, or even moving it until it’s been inspected by professionals. Contact the manufacturer for a thorough inspection of the battery.</li><li>Do not attempt DIY fixes: If your vehicle has been exposed to saltwater, do not try to start it, charge it, or fix the battery yourself. The risks of fire are too high, and professionals are trained to handle such situations safely.</li></ul>

Buying an EV may be a somewhat dangerous move if you live near the sea

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Small-cap stocks are poised for a significant rally, Goldman Sachs' Greg Tuorto said.</li><li>The portfolio manager pointed to lower interest rates and a promising economic backdrop for small-caps.</li></ul>An overlooked part of the stock market is poised for big gains.That's according to Greg Tuorto, a portfolio manager at Goldman Sachs Asset Management who says he sees a big "catch-up" rally coming for small-cap stocks. He told CNBC in an interview on Thursday that that's due to a confluence of bullish factors, including lower interest rates, a promising economic outlook, and the upcoming presidential election, which could boost confidence in the sector.Tuorto noted that election years have historically led to strong gains for small-cap stocks. He sees the presidential election leading to positive developments in the economy, such as by increasing the supply of housing."Election years are usually positive catalysts for small-caps, and this has not been one of them. So there could be that powerful catch-up trade," he said.The interest rate environment looks favorable for small-cap firms, with central bankers <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/federal-reserve-interest-rate-cuts-mortgage-investment-credit-savings-2024-9">issuing a jumbo-sized 50 basis point cut</a> this week. Investors should expect two more rate cuts by the end of the year, Tuorto predicted, which should help ease financial conditions and boost investor confidence.Lower rates, combined with expected improvement in corporate earnings, could all lead to a boost in IPO and merger activity, another tailwind for small-caps, he added.The economy also looks poised to avoid a recession — another positive for small-cap firms, Tuorto said. GDP is estimated to run at 3% this quarter, according to the latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow">Atlanta Fed GDPNow reading</a>, indicating solid growth for the economy."We've been waiting for this rates certainty. I think we also wanted to have a picture of whether we're going to get a soft landing, which I think kind of puts us more firmly in that camp," Tuorto said. "With the economy chugging along...it's a really nice backdrop for small caps."Still, he cautioned that investors need to be picky, as not every small-cap name will be a winner. "I think if you have that active, selective approach towards the small-caps space, you can not just outperform, but you can see some powerful upside momentum."Other forecasters have turned more bullish on small-cap stocks, despite the sector having a volatile year in 2023. Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicted small-caps could <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/small-caps-russell-2000-rally-outlook-sp500-selloff-fundstrat-tech-2024-7">rally as much as 40%</a>, thanks largely to easier Fed policy. The Russell 2000 surged 2% after the Fed cut interest rates on Wednesday, with the small-cap index up 12% year-to-date.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>MTG's backing off her threat to force a vote on ousting Speaker Mike Johnson — for now.</li><li>It's going to fail anyway, Trump is against it, and it looks like she's trying to save face.</li></ul>Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene moved to call a vote on Johnson's ouster in a surprise move on Wednesday afternoon. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-house-democrats-voted-protect-mike-johnson-marjorie-taylor-greene-2024-5">163 Democrats</a> voted with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-house-republicans-vote-table-marjorie-taylor-greene-motion-vacate-2024-5">all but 11 Republicans</a> to table it.This was a surprise, with previous indications that <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-mike-johnson-committees-motion-vacate-2024-5">Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene</a> was backing off her <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-motion-to-vacate-threat-republicans-2024-3">threat to oust Speaker Mike Johnson</a> — for now.After two days of meetings with Johnson, the Georgia Republican, along with Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, told reporters outside the Capitol on Tuesday that the ball's now in the speaker's court to satisfy her demands. She did not specify a timeline for him to do so.Those demands — which vary from the obvious to the outlandish — include the following:<ul><li>Don't give Ukraine more aid for the rest of the year. It was already unlikely that Ukraine aid would come up again this year after Congress <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-house-republicans-voted-against-ukraine-russia-aid-2024-4">approved another $60 billion</a> last month.</li><li>Don't hold votes on bills that most Republicans don't support. House Republicans already have a rule requiring this, though it's been violated a number of times, including on Ukraine aid.</li><li>Defund the Justice Department's special-counsel investigation into former President Donald Trump. It goes without saying that this won't happen — President Joe Biden and the Democratic-controlled Senate won't accept it, and it's far from clear that every House Republican would either.</li><li>Pass a stopgap government-funding bill before the election that cuts spending by 1%. This one is feasible, though a relatively small demand over which to threaten a speaker's ouster.</li></ul>Since Greene arrived in Congress in 2021, her power has come from her relationship with Trump, as well as the notion that — whatever her GOP colleagues might think of her — she has a closeness to the party's activist base that many of them do not.That's why former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy worked hard to elevate her and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/marjorie-taylor-greene-gop-fundraising-vulnerable-house-incumbents-2023-4">bring her into the fold</a> when Republicans retook the majority.Yet in this latest crusade, which has seemingly consumed Greene for the past 1 ½ months, she largely stands alone. Trump, according to several reports, opposes Greene's bid to hold her vote. And if her Republican colleagues are facing pressure at home to join her, they sure aren't acting like it: Just <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-republicans-support-mtg-motion-vacate-mike-johnson-2024-4">two other House Republicans</a> have sided with her effort to throw out Johnson.The congresswoman's ouster effort was already doomed to fail, given <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/house-democrats-official-save-mike-johnson-marjorie-taylor-greene-vacate-2024-4">House Democrats' move to protect him</a>. Amid the delays with Greene, both Democrats and Republicans have largely made up their mind on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/progressive-democrats-motion-vacate-speaker-johson-marjorie-taylor-greene-2024-5">where they stand on the issue</a>, sapping her bid to put lawmakers on record of much revelatory power.It's still unclear whether she will ultimately force the vote, but at this point, no one's all that worried. Republicans would likely put the matter to bed quickly, holding the vote immediately after she forced it and moving on to other matters.And on Tuesday, when asked about Greene's demands, Johnson rolled his eyes."This is not a negotiation," he said. "I'm doing my job, and part of the job is taking suggestions and thoughtful ideas from members, and that's what we're doing here.Update: This story was updated on Wednesday, May 8, after Greene surprised the House by reversing course and introducing a motion to oust Johnson, which was quashed.
