This was some thing I never considered in purchasing an EV.

All you have to do is run over debris in a road and the car could be written off as a total loss.

Simply impacting the battery guard could then render the car in operable due to fear of fire or explosion.

You could run over tire debris or a ladder in the road and your car is done

For any jurisdiction that has annual road inspections, any visible damage to the battery case = mandatory repair.

Consider this as well.....after a hurricane this year in my state a bunch of EVs got swamped with sea water and many of ‘em went up in flames due to battery salt water incursion.
