Looking at producing our 2nd electric vehicle that uses lithium ion batteries.   The first was easy.   The customer integrates the battery to the unit at the dealership so we don't have to store any.   This new product that cannot be done and the hoops we are having to go thru to store these are INSANE!

How in the fuck do insurance companies insure the ten's of thousands of million $ homes that a Tesla, electric Porsche or whatever sits in their garage.

Makes me think how much of the increase in insurance rates are to cover the EV or LI battery risk.

The cost of storing lithium batteries pales in comparison to the cost of storing CO2:8onk14.jpg
