They sure do. They use Lithium-ion type cells

It can be lithium polymer or lithium iron phosphate but they are all classed as Lithium-ion

Lipo, lip, li-poly are the same type, Some just use different chemistry but are classed as lithium-ion

They have super high energy density and have great weight to power ratio compared to some older battery technology. This is why EVs use them.

Put 20-30 lead acid batteries in a EV and see how fast that can move.

They are also if not treated right or physically damaged can have an catastrophic thermal runaway. You do not want to be near one of it goes up. They are getting safer and have many safety features built in but EV batteries are not much different from the one in your phone or laptop.

Why do you think the emergency services have special training to deal with a EV it’s not like a normal car fire

So that must be almost all of them. It’s sad times ahead I don’t want a Li-po battery sitting on my driveway. Worse still sitting in my garage.

Don’t get me wrong I like this car I just don’t want it within 100 feet of my house.

About to say that. We all know Jack the Ripper. That name alone will get bums on seats for a film or TV documentary. But now let’s say Annie Chapman the Victim. Everyone will have no clue and maybe some will google it. She was one of Leather Aprons victims the name alone will do nothing for views.

I don’t disagree but the victims are nearly always just normal people with lives no more interesting than you or me. It just wouldn’t make for an interesting movie. Maybe the minutes leading up to the attack. You would still need to do all the back story on the serial killer to flesh it out. So the film maker will most likely just use the serial killer to bring in the views.
