Another issue seldom discussed is the fact that the batteries in
these EVs can sometimes spontaneously catch fire hours later
after the initial thermal runaway has been extinguished.
Still-active cells can cause this.
I've had three E-bikes which use multiple 18560 cells, and never
had any issues. It's important with domestic batteries to ascertain
the manufacturer of the cells. I'm currently using Samsung cells,
but there are far too many cheap and nasty, unsafe, knockoff cells
coming into Australia.
Caveat emptor.A Tesla battery currently (pun?) contains around 7,100 of these
18650 cells. My bike batteries have around 36.
