Agreed. It was a comparison of risk. Running trains maintained by professionals with these batteries is safer than allowing home repair.
It was not a suggestion that home repair should not happen. Just that the risks need to be understood. And trying to argue against Electric trains when we already have folks repairing their own cars is sorta dumb.
FUD exists. But there is also genuine danger in the batteries if charging protection is removed (or not fitted with homemade or some Chinese scooters etc). Or the batteries get punchered in an accident.

I don’t think we are really disagreeing. I agree people have to take batteries seriously. Same with anything with a lot of energy in a small space.
