๐จ๐ณโChina just revealed one of the wildest EV safety ideas yet: batteries that eject themselves if they catch fire.
A prototype system uses gas generators to blast the pack 10โ20 feet away from the car once thermal runaway is detected.
The concept aims to protect passengers and the carโs structure by isolating the burning battery.
Demonstration footage shows the battery launching out with an explosive โbangโ in under a second.
Critics argue itโs extremely dangerous, essentially turning a battery pack into a flaming missile.
Joyson Electronics, originally linked to the project, has denied direct involvement.
Regulatory approval for something this radical would be nearly impossible under current safety standards.
While it may never hit production, the idea highlights how far engineers are pushing fire-safety concepts for EVs.
