China’s Automotive Collision Research and Technology Center made a Chery Icar 03T in which the vehicle throws the batteries six meters if a fire occurs.

Chery publicly denied any involvement in the tests. Submarca Icar said that “this has nothing to do with the ICAR, please be rational.”
The video shows the car expelling the batteries as if it were an airbag system. Sensors detect if there is any thermal irregularity on the battery and then ejects them at a distance of three to six meters.
Batteries fall in a particular place surrounded by an anti -clam blanket, but this left many on social networks for fear of the effectiveness of the safety system, which endanger those who are not in the vehicle.
Someone should tell them that for a modern EV battery to go critical it needs quite an heavy impact…which would destroy this „battery ejection system“. pic.twitter.com/toJi8jbfkx
