- Thermal runaway mechanism: lithium dendrite growth → internal short circuit → exothermic reaction cascade — preventing dendrite formation is the core safety engineering problem - Air cooling (early Nissan Leaf): cheapest, lightest, failed spectacularly — 30% capacity loss in hot climates within 5 years of deployment - Liquid cooling (most modern EVs): glycol channels between cells, 3–5°C uniformity achievable, adds weight and complexity - Tesla's Octovalve: single valve managing 8 thermal pathways (battery, motor, cabin, heat pump) — reduces energy waste by routing heat where needed - BYD Blade Battery's flat prismatic form factor is a thermal design choice: maximizes surface area for heat dissipation, reduces hotspot concentration
