Unsafe at pants speed

Speaking of EVs being unsafe at any speed, check out this local incident.

He had a little flashlight with a lithium battery on his key fob, and it blew up in his pants pocket. Serious burns over much of his body, helicoptered to Seattle for special care.

Old-fashioned dry batteries get corroded and crusty after a while, but they DON’T spontaneously explode and burn half of your body.
