minus-squareBernie EcclestonedOPlinkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoNo, but it’s the difference between solid state and lithium cells. There’s still a fire risk with solid state, but then there’s a fire risk with ICE. It just needs better engineering like they’ve done with current ev batteries
Probably safer than current ev batteries
Not at all.
Why? Solid state batteries don’t use a flammable electrolyte
The electrolyte isn’t the only flammable material in lithium cells.
