Don’t know about that one. The thing to remember is that there a different lithium chemistries. The airplane thermal runaway issues were due to a much more unstable chemistry. The Tesla vehicles use a lithium manganese chemistry which while more susceptible to thermal runaway are much more stable than som of those news headline grabbing chemistries we all heard about several years ago. The Lithium iron phosphate variety used in RV’s is by far one of the most stable chemistries available.
