This is simple, cheap, and proven in other industries.
If you’re a shipper, port authority, EV manufacturer, or insurer:
👉 Make low-SOC EV shipping the standard.
Let’s stop watching ships burn. Let’s fix it.

This idea could be implemented tomorrow:
Written into shipping contracts.
Verified at port with BMS readers.
Incentivized by insurers.
Applied without redesigning a single ship.

💡 The fix?
Mandate that all EVs/hybrids be shipped at 5–15% SOC.
✅ Still drivable for roll-on/roll-off
✅ No new infrastructure needed
✅ Immediate insurance and risk benefits
✅ Fully backward-compatible

🧯 Today, EVs are loaded at 80–100% charge.
One bad cell, one micro-short, and 2,500 cars become a floating inferno.
The Felicity Ace, Fremantle Highway, and now Morning Midas all point to the same fix:
Too much energy. Too much risk.

High battery charge = high fire energy.
Low battery charge = survivable incident.
Thermal runaway severity is directly tied to state of charge (SOC).
Below ~20%, most fires either fizzle or stay local.
We don’t need tech—just policy.

🚢🔥 EVs on ships keep catching fire. Hundreds of millions lost. Crews at risk.
The solution? Brutally simple.
Just ship EVs at 5–10% charge. That’s it.
Here’s why this works—and why the industry must act now 👇

The rioting and violence serve as the perfect cover for him to seize control in the name of restoring order, without regard for the consequences for his supporters or the country as a whole.

This strategy aligns with a broader authoritarian playbook: create chaos, stoke division, and then use the crisis to justify a total power grab. Trump wouldn’t care if his base turns on him in the process, as long as it enables him to consolidate power and eliminate any remaining opposition.

The ultimate goal is not to win over his supporters, but to manufacture a crisis so severe that the only option is to centralize power in his hands and eliminate any remaining checks on his authority.

Trump is not concerned with maintaining loyalty from his base long-term. MAGA is no longer seen as an ally, but rather as a tool to trigger the chaos necessary to seize power. Once the unrest reaches a boiling point, it becomes his excuse to take control and impose authoritarian rule.

Any challenge to his rule can be framed as a threat to the nation’s stability, and he can justify using force to quash it. This action would allow him to dismantle any institutional barriers to his authority, with no opposition from Congress, the courts, or the military.

Crushing the Rebellion: With martial law in place, Trump gains absolute control over the country, including the power to suppress the rioters violently. This gives him the ability to neutralize any resistance, even from his own supporters.

The narrative would be that the government is unable to control the situation, and only martial law can restore order and protect the nation.

Exploiting the Violence: Once riots begin, Trump would use the resulting chaos as justification for martial law. He can present the unrest as a national emergency, something that demands immediate and decisive action.

By destabilizing the economy and threatening livelihoods, he’s creating an environment where MAGA is more and more likely to take to the streets in protest. The deeper the crisis, the more his supporters may react with extreme measures.

Fueling Riots: Trump’s reckless economic decisions, such as the trade war, tariff policies, and the weakening of government institutions, are pushing his base - already primed for anger and frustration - toward violent action.

Once the unrest reaches a critical point, he can frame the violence as a threat to national security, providing him with the justification to take draconian measures and impose martial law.
