I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

    We’re talking about an edge case here, there should never be a vehicle driving over roads that fucking hot. The road crew should have never opened the road for driving until it cooled down closer to 120⁰F or so, 160⁰F is still too fucking hot.

      Which is a fair claim to make. I don’t know why you went with “EV batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰C”, which is clearly False based on the source you cited, then went on a whole roundabout talking about how it’s not safe at 45C, then 70C, then how active cooling is inefficient while citing the efficiency of Peltier devices. Your top-level comment was fine. Nothing else you said after that made any sense.

        My bad, I meant 50⁰C, when it starts to become a concern. My bad, typo, road trip be bumpy yo.
