LOL. But then there was this bit of information:

The fire was labeled as minor

I mean, I don’t live anywhere near an industrial zone or any sort of urban or suburban area... but still. 110 firefighters?! I don’t think you’d see 110 firefighters if our local elementary school caught fire, with children inside.

I don’t think people appreciate how explosive a cell phone battery is.

In fact, the idea of a Formula E battery pack exploding scares the shit out of me.

This is why there are dozens of safeties in a multicell pack to prevent them from getting to the point of failure.

I could not embed the detailed video of the technology. But this is game changing.

People seem to forget that batteries store energy and releasing that energy quickly tends to be bad
