And we know after years and years of use that they’re incredibly safe and stable under the right protected conditions. The question is how are we going to achieve this in vehicles
IMHO, a big part of the problem is rushing these vehicles to market before the tech is matured. Seems they took the model big tech used of beta testing on consumers and applied it to vehicles despite a century of experience showing how badly that works.
They knew the problems, they just didn't give a shit because they're not being held responsible for their unsafe, dangerous products. These days you can get away with anything as long as it's marketed as "eco-friendly". So they're going to continue using the cheapest, shoddiest methods out there. Why research and build new factories for vehicle-safe fuel cells? Much easier and cheaper to use existing manufacturing chains and slap together phone batteries into unstoppable chemical fires.
Lithium batteries are volatile under certain conditions.
