      Because the current charging stations don’t have enough to kill someone? This seems really overblown, like they’re just going to have live wires you have to connect to your car or something. There will probably be no real difference in charging for the user.

      And yet millions of drivers pump flammable liquids into their car every day. I fail to see why you’re lumping lithium battery instability in with this new solid state battery tech.

      Gosh, 🤣 … the image of having carbonized and/or partially vaporized humans quickly switched my awe in the technology into repugnance.

      Darn, why does amaizing technology often end up with horrifying set backs and adverse effects?
