Yes, it’s a lot. But, people are going to have to get used to the idea of large voltages and anperages, in the same way that we don’t really worry about Fay to day handling of large volumes of highly explosive liquid (petroleum).
- sp332 6y agoLeaking a few drops of gasoline probably won't do any damage. Shorting or arcing 800V is several levels of "nope" above that. You can be dead in a fraction of a second.
- crims0n 6y agoEhhh that is not a fair comparison... if you get some petroleum on your hand there is no immediate danger as long as you are not near an open flame. Even if you do manage to light yourself on fire you have a decent chance of surviving. If you get some kilovolts backed by 100 amps on your hands you are pretty much instantly dead.
- harwoodleon 6y agoEvery day since you were born you have been near enough electricity to kill you instantly. We have good safety measures in place already after working with it for over a century. Petroleum is no different in that sense. Fuses are pretty good at protecting us. The major difference is that when someone crashes into a gas station lots of people can die from the explosion. If someone crashes into a charging station that’s just not the case. My point is, we are happy to deal with dangerous and deadly things in our everyday life, why is this any different?
