Thank you for your patience.
Battery cells are separated by steel cases to prevent fire from spreading through the entire battery pack.
Advanced battery management systems monitor the activity of each cell to prevent overheating.
Radiator-chilled coolant or cool air circulates throughout the battery pack to lower the temperature while the car is running.
Armor protects the battery pack from damage or puncture during collisions.
Plug-in electric vehicles are significantly heavier than conventional cars, which is an advantage during collisions.
The materials used in lithium-ion batteries are flammable, but there are no readily exposed flammable liquids (like gasoline).
With no engine under the hood, EVs have a front trunk that acts as a crumple zone and absorbs front-end collisions.
Regenerative braking — the electric motor running in reverse to slow or stop the car — puts much less strain on the brake pads.
Thanks to the heavy battery pack, a low center of gravity prevents rollovers.
