The cause is bad design. There are plenty of cars using batteries with the same or very similar chemistry that don't catch fire.
Which car company invented an EV battery that doesn’t catch fire? Someone would’ve won a Nobel prize for that.
Every other one. Unless you mean when they're damaged. All batteries can catch fire when damaged, that's just the nature of concentrating energy.
And I hope I don't need to tell you what can happen to fuel in an accident.
So what are you saying is the bad battery design in Tesla batteries specifically?
