I can only imagine the horrific explosion that would occur if this battery fails catastrophically.


Solid state batteries tend to be safer than other batteries.

Here is ProLogium's solid state battery failing to fail after it's been shot with a bullet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOubFHO1I3o

Here is Ionic Materials' solid state battery failing to fail after it's been cut with scissors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9-cNNYb1Ik


I imagine fairly similar to what happens with a gas/petrol vehicle, similar amount of energy to release. Maybe with a bunch more toxic fumes...
