[NSRCA-discussion] For Electric eyes only.. lol

[Keith Hoard]

I was talking to a fireman a few days ago. . . . they are very nervous about
electric / hybrid cars from a safety point of view.

Would you want to be cutting into a car with the Jaws of Life knowing that
somewhere in the twisted wreckage is a 400S-20P Thunder Power LiPo??  Even
if the batts are A123's, you still have some very large current carrying
wires flopping around somewhere.

But hey, we're in a planetary emergency, right??
