The difference is a gas container failure does not start energy release and the melting of the container. A battery container isolates the chemical energy, a failure creates or includes the energy release ignition spark and the energy release can melt any material or raise it's temp to it's burn temp. A battery stores energy in a manner like storing gasoline in a pure oxygen environment. The engineering problem for reasonable safety is not even known. And a 16 gallon tank of gas is the energy equivalent of over a thousand sticks of dynamite. And FF is a lot lighter than 85KW of battery. And it is available everywhere and refilling only take 5 minutes. And I do not agree that the carbon or energy footprint is less. I also believe that the chemical pollution foot print is an order of magnitude worse. I also believe all man made carbon footprint is a net positive addition to the well-being of all carbon based life on Earth.
