Gees I never realised the dangers of battery fires with EV's until reading those artciles.......
It could be quite nasty for passenegrs if emergency services/fire brigade could'nt get to accident in time to put the fire out. |

What happens when Lithium-ion batteries are mechanically damaged
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoFRrmhXoVw On board batteries can be damaged if a car has a crash as severe as what occurred to this Tesla Model S. What happens when Lithium-polymer batteries are mechanically damaged https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjkW3KUz5uo Not that any of the batteries shown in the video are used in the Tesla but it does show the potential danger.

If it was a great big V8, people could have heard it roaring up the road and moved out of the way. Electric vehicle silence: one of the greatest dangers out there!
