I get your exasperation is related to my other thread about putting out EV fires LOL but, to answer yours and everyone else's replies below...

 

 

 

 

 

...Water is still currently the most efficient medium of conducting heat away from surfaces, hence our continued obsession with it.

Of course, some less heat-intensive components will still be air-cooled if they don't need water-cooling, all in the name of cost-savings.

 

Dad, is that you? 😂

 

 

It's all about hiring people to solve a problem that never existed to begin with, all in the name of stimulating the economy! Perfect point being: 

More manufacturers are now starting to adopt Porsche's - arguably better - 800V platform, with Hyundai being one of them: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-hyundai-ev-platform-brings-800v-charging-310-mile-range

Just make sure you don't use a Gigabyte power supply, or else you'll end up with the same conclusion as touching an EV charging cable that's shorted with coolant!

why not each car install a tiny-mini-nuclear cell that can self-power the car for 5 years?
