Battery technology is still in its infancy. Electric car batteries underperform and are a potential hazard. As the number of batteries used increases exponentially, it is only a matter of statistics and time before we see more of them bursting into flames in electric vehicles (EV) and e-bikes. Yet, the EV trend will not only continue, but future growth will also be explosive (pardon the pun).
