The China Vehicle Collision Repair Technical and Research Center posted this video of their new battery ejection system for EVs for when they experience thermal runaway, and I cannot stop laughing.

The thought of launching a one-ton battery pack presently ejecting streams of hot flaming gases ten meters away is as horrifying as it is hilarious.

Good luck whoever is to my right!

A scene in a demonstration hall: A red SUV violently launches its battery pack sideways, straight out of the floorboards. The battery pack travels a great distance and comes to a stop, smoldering, in a pit of cushioning packs.

Shame Mike Davis is dead else this would make for extra chapters in an updated edition of Buda's Wagon.
