This was a sarcastic post, right?

Have you seen the size of these batteries? Have you heard the precautions or watched how they're disassembled?

They're 480V. That's a terrifying voltage, nearly insta-death.

They're massive modules with loads of balance wires.

The 'gubberment' doesn't need to do anything- anyone can build a battery to fit there if there is an advantage for it.

This isn't a gas tank pressed between two plates, or a 'chopper' show where they beat some aluminum and weld it to hold gasoline.

This is a massive piece of critical engineering with extremely fatal consequences.

Frack, Boeing stuffed something in their planes and they caught fire because they didn't do it right.
