Abject crap. Water sprinklers on ships, in carparks etc extinguish IC fires whereas battery fires are catastrophic. Batteries on fire produce their own oxygen & will burn underwater. When batteries go up there is no way to put them out. As I said, like cars without seatbelts.

Only takes one cell in a battery with 10s of '000s of cells to die and its game over

You're entitled to your opinion, but 100 times less likely that what? An internal combustion engine doesn't go into thermal runaway making it impossible to extinguish. Lithium batteries do, they also sink ships.
Glad you have been keeping your battery charged & EVs work for you.

Then leave one parked in the garage for 3yrs without charging & tell me the value of that car with a dead battery. Not quite there yet.

crankey1.bsky.social @crankey1.bsky.social · 11d

All good stuff, but im old and believe EV tech isn't quite there yet. Solar & batteries for home 100% but all those cars waiting to catch fire when the battery spits the dummy is like comparing an EV to old cars before seat belts, something is missing.

Hehe have you learned the Zen of using body filler for some of the pings on the body? Many of those look fairly teeny & shouldn't take heaps to fix. I do/have done cars and could not sleep if I painted over those (on cars)... great work BTW, 99% is just having a crack in first place.
