Great. Cars are designed to ride low to the ground for aerodynamic reasons. The battery, being heavy, is mountrd low and thus vulnerable to road damage. Brilliant. Simply brilliant.

Of all things my 2015 Ford Fusion Energi (electric) has the battery mounted at a height about equal to where the rear axle would have been if it was a rear wheel drive gas car.

If I damage THAT battery, something REALLY bad has happened.

Also, replacing that battery would be about $5800 right now.
