No, but it's the difference between solid state and lithium cells. There's still a fire risk with solid state, but then there's a fire risk with ICE. It just needs better engineering like they've done with current ev batteries
That isn't what's being discussed. We're comparing cells to cells, not ICE to BEV.
I know... solid state doesn't have a flammable liquid electrolyte
If it contains energy, there's probably a way to make that energy release in an uncontrolled fashion. As energy densities increase, so does the risk if that happens.
Luckily batteries are built such that it's actually quite hard to ignite them. As are fuel tanks for the same reason.
