People really need to quit with the denial factor, lithium batteries are extremely dangerous!
As of recently, in Arizona, the pavement temperatures have exceeded 80⁰ Celsius. Lithium batteries aren't safe over 40⁰ Celsius. Where do EV cars place their batteries? Under the car, right over the super-hot road...
Please don't sit here and tell me these things are safe, when some of the roads they drive over are literally twice as hot as the rated safe temperature.
It's still not an explosion bro, it's a fire. Yes that sucks and I hope it gets better but ICE engines are not safer.
ICE engines don't sling molten lithium metal out when they burn. To sling molten metal out is literally an explosion.
Please watch the videos, some of which provided by firefighting experts, to understand the extreme dangers lithium batteries present.
