The more concentrated the energy stored in a lithium battery, the more it is manipulated as it is discharged, the more volatile the concoction. Will this battery be as safe as nitroglycerin or dynamite? Not so sure I would feel comfortable with my family sitting on top of it going 70 miles/hour and hit a pothole.
Reminds me of a time when I was visiting one of my brothers in La Quinta, Kalifornia. La Quinta is right next to Palm Springs. It is 120° in the summer. Everything is very spread out, with loooong straight roads of 50mph limits. One day in the summer, we witnessed a Tesla speeding like crazy, and All of the windows down. I began to speculate. Why in the world would they drive with ALL of the windows down in 120° weather? I wondered if they were low on "fuel" and could not run the air conditioner.
Then again, the EV manuals say do not charge in extreme heat or cold.
We just loooove "charging up" our regular SUV. Takes about 5 minutes at the hydrocarbon pump station.
