EV batteries are fundamentally just oversized laptop batteries, and that design is perhaps the worst possible power source for vehicles. Those kinds of batteries were never meant for the usage conditions vehicles are subjected to:
You carry laptops, but vehicles carry you and absorb the shocks of transit.
Laptops stay close to humans and are generally kept in safe settings, but vehicles are regularly exposed to harsh environments and weather conditions.
Laptops calculate and process info, which fits well with sipping small amounts of electric energy, but a vehicle's primary purpose is to move heavy loads over long distances, which inevitably requires generating large amounts of physical force.
Vehicles need power sources that can stand being subjected to regular transit shocks, exposure to extreme conditions, and massive kinetic energy demands over time. Furthermore, when failing under those conditions they must fail in a safe manner. EV batteries horrendously flunk out for both performance and safety, and their usage as vehicle power sources needs to be halted immediately.
Not a good idea to run over a stick, rock or other debris in the road either as it will occasionally cause the battery to explode and ignite. Another word to the wise,...keep your EV parked outside away from other vehicles and structures during solar flairs!
A few weeks ago, a Tesla in CT had its battery go up in flames. 45 min and 25,000 gallons of water to put it out. Yeah, sign me up...

Car insurance for EVs is sure to go uppppp!
After the hurricane in FL not a single tow truck would hook to them. Can’t blame them either.
Is that before or after you are electrocuted in the electric car near or in water?
Sweet.
