What is your point? They put batteries in a bus and it burned up. What's your point? -- Rick C. - Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging - Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209

What makes you think this one had a bad design? Sylvia.

In case of the Bolt, manufacturing deflect causes short of a powerful cell. Cutting it off won't help. Smaller cells are safer in this regard. 18650 can be shorted and destroyed, but not exploded.

Smaller cells are safer in this regard. 18650 can be shorted and destroyed, but not exploded.Battery makers are trying to cut costs, and one way to do that is through larger cell sizes. I think VW, or BMW, not sure which, uses a cell about the size of a cigar box. I believe this also lets them give the cell more integrity without lowering the specific energy. -- Rick C. + Get 1,000 miles of free Supercharging + Tesla referral code - https://ts.la/richard11209

I think VW, or BMW, not sure which, uses a cell about the size of a cigar box. I believe this also lets them give the cell more integrity without lowering the specific energy.GM/Bolt cells are long thin rectangular pouch; so, in theory, should have better heat dissipation, other than the manufacturing defect. We have to give them credit for doing the right thing to recall (vehicle), replace (battery) and retool (factory). Let's wait and see.
