Safety Feature? Watch Audi e-tron Battery Pack Get Ejected During Crash via insideevs.com
's large and very heavy skateboard-style battery pack make what appears to be a relatively clean exit from the car during a crash. The impact sends the pack flying into the air and across the road from the crashed car.
. The crash reportedly happened in Richmond, British Columbia, at Garden City Way and Odlin. Some folks analyzed the video more closely and posted photos of the aftermath.There are three images in the Reddit embed above, though it may be difficult for you to clearly see what's going on. If you click on the images, it will take you to Reddit to see the entire view. We've included a close-up shot of the smoking battery pack that's shown next to the tree in the third image. The Audi e-tron crashed with a Toyota sedan at an intersection. It's not easy to see exactly what happened, but it's clear that the collision caused the battery pack to exit the car immediately, as though it was a missile ready for launch.Corporal Dennis Hwang explained to the local news that the battery pack did, in fact, get ejected from the electric SUV and"combusted." He said:"The safety of our community during the entire incident remained at the forefront. To our knowledge, this is the first such instance of an EV battery pack being ejected post collision." When parts fly out of cars during crashes, it can prove very dangerous. This is especially true if the part is large and heavy, like an EV battery pack. However, on the flip side, if the battery pack leaves the car and combusts elsewhere, at least the fire isn't consuming the vehicle during the rescue efforts.
