Project X Now A EV

It may happen one day, but until they can recycle the batteries, it will not be mainstream.
Look at all the people dumping their 5 year old pirus because they need a very expensive battery change.
The company I work for builds alot LI battery powered things, just the testing we go thru is crazy.
Make a small change to an existing design, test, test, test and some times the test go bad.
What the media does not show you is how explosive those batteries are, we record everything, and test in an enclosed steel structure, with lots of cameras.
Sometimes the fire balls are intense, when the batteries get hot, there is no putting them out, basically the best thing to do is run, because if the initial fire does not kill you, the fumes will.
