Coupla things about that cause slight concern. During a Formula E race I was watching on TV, a drver was told his car may be in an unsafe condition. He shoulld not step out of the car, he should climb on the bonnet and jump off. We can understand why he had to jump. Yer average peasant driving around in an electric car doesn't have an engineer to tell him about his vehcle's unsafe condition, and he probably wouldn't be able to climb onto the bonnet even if he did.
E Moto also raises a concern. The races for electric bikes have their own fire crew. Apparently the marshalls don't try and extinguish the fire at the scene, the fire crew load the burning bike on to a trailer and take it away. Where they take it and why, was not explained. Then there was the fire in which a large part of the Moto E field was damaged.
I don't want one in my shed yet.
