Good thing ICE vehicles don't use any explosive components. Any evidence of these "mass casualty" events?
- metalman 2y agono argument, let me expand slightly. gasoline is exceptionaly flamable, but (and crusialy) is known, and almost never self ignites. the "electrolight" in lithium batteries is in fact a liquid hydrocarbon that would run an ICE engine. this fact coupled with the very real issue of lithium batteries, self shorting, and then experiencing thermal runaway, causing the exceptionaly flamable electrolight to burn in.an inextinguasishable, and re igniting fashion, is new. And new is hard to evaluate, as building code,insurance, product standard, and end user perspective. Insurers will just balk, and say no, building and fire code people are trepedatios. We need true solid state, non flamible batteries, and THEN, we can just get on.with a general electrification of everything........but should there be a "HINDENBURG" level event.....then watch out for extream push back, is what I am getting at!
