Interesting story, so we are going to pass laws referencing the transportation of lithium batteries. Are all the cars, pickups and electrical powered semi’s on the road are going to be exempt from the new law or are they going to be restricted on how or when they are used ?

Unintended Consequences.

From a policy perspective, removing the tax credits electric cars receive and using the increased revenue to purchase systems that are capable of piercing the battery box and flooding them, thus limiting/preventing thermal runaway may be beneficial.
