    Switching to LiFePo and making the batteries easy to swap along a trip, is a better way to reduce fires.

    Or solid state maybe? Not sure how flammable they are, but I know LiFePo are much lower risk than standard lithium ion (Nickle cobalt or whatever Tesla and the big Chevy trucks use )

    Edited for spelling

      Solid state batteries are much safer, but much more expensive to make in facilities resembling chip fab clean rooms.
