This should become widespread everwhere, but WILL it? Much like cellphones and radiation despite the evidence of definite health risks, the economics were too great to worry about protecting peoples health. EV’s should be forced to switch to NON lithium batteries but the economics are so powerful that it won’t happen anytime soon. Many more fires and deaths will occur.
Ha….Ban EVs …..love it
Not EV’s just lithium battery EV’s. New battery tech on the horizon. Hydrogen power.
Sign me up for a hydrogen car. I like that idea.
