One inconsistency it that the Volt's post-crash protocol calls for the discharge of the batteries (through a load, I'm sure), but the *experts* at NHTSA, who should know how to deal with crashed vehicles, didn't bother. Why were they so remiss?
And the article provokes some questions. If "the coolant to be conductive at high voltages", what are they using as coolant? And what exactly do they mean by "conductive"? I would suppose regular Ethylene Glycol - Water, which is conductive in the ionic sense, but more conductive at high voltages? What do they mean by that? And how conductive?
