I agree that if they used non flammable organic compounds there's less fire, but I'm not so sure the solid state batteries won't cause fires either.
Frank Markus, in his January 2022 MOTOR TREND 'Technologue' article, said that ' The ( physical expansion of the cathode ) expansion problem is shared with today's solid-state battery technologies and seems surmountable.'
Leading me to believe that it is certainly an issue, and the prize of success so great that, they'll continue to pour dollars into R&D, in hopes of overcoming the issue.
