), definitely hard to engineer that to a highly safe standard. Guess I can't bash their engineering on that one. Better placement is probably key, but hard on a vehicle like that. No matter where it is sooner or later I'm sure somebody will be able to blow it up 
. I wonder if a gel type coolant would be better, would definitely complicate the pump system though. I should probably read before I post eh :wink:. Thanks LFP,
thank you gubmint for protecting us against these exploding death cars!!

A special interest (with lots of money) owns controlling interest of GM but lets it fail anyway because of the overwhelming pension costs of autoworkers, medical cost, etc. Obama bails out GM with a few stipulations like building and selling an electric car, etc. The electric car turns special interest's stomach and special interest puts an ice in the electric car anyway and charges to much for it ($40k). Electric car somehow burns up in a parking lot with no one around it and special interest directs the press to report it widely thereby planting a few seeds of doubt in any would be buyer's mind. Special interest reports low interest and low sales and swaps the electric car for an ice mobile while wearing large grins. The plot get uncovered somehow and the movie "Who Killed the Electric Car Again" comes out.
Of course, I could be all wrong on this. I don't know if electrics would ever make reliable transportation anyway.
Some things just aren't adding up the more I read about electric vehicles and their past. Way too much weirdness to simply be called coincidence with EVs.
