That sounds potentially incredibly scary if you get into a fender-bender.

  They use LiFePO4 so it's chemically inert, and it's protected from shorting out due to mechanical damage because the entire composite acts as a thermoresettable fuse.

    The next question is how do you repair damage in that scenario?
    • chroem- 8y ago
      Composite structures don't tend to be very repairable in general, but if it's localized damage usually you will just glue a patch in place.

    LiFePo4 also works better in the cold.
