the question regarding collision damage: when as the last time you totalled a vehicle?

So yes the batteries in the front and rear edges are potentially catastrophic, and the STO. of accidents isn't <1. good fusing, and electrically insulating the cells from shorting metals should suffice.

you do drive around in a fueled vehicle that has enough potential energy to destroy a small city if the fuel is correctly mixed with oxygen.
