...talk about Detroit "double-speak"! -- hey, let's turn a deficit into an advantage...you know all that low-slung battery "weight"? Well, let's advertise it as "lowered-CG for bettery handling" and see if they (we?) buy it?"

Actually that's not really a Detroit thing. EVs advertise this all the time :
Electric Vehicle (EV) Safety

With more and more EVs on the road the safety of EVs is being closely studied. To date, findings are positive and have shown that several EV features maximize safety. For example, EVs tend to have a lower center of gravity that makes them less likely to roll over. EVs have less potential for major fires or explosions. And the body construction and durability of EVs enhance vehicle safety in a collision.
