    Certainly in enclosed environments they need to de-tune the batteries to dramatically reduce the fire risk
    Imagine a Lithium fire two km below the surface that they cannot extinguish

    Although Lithium has an inherent fire problem as a chemical IMHO the major problem with Lithium batteries is that they have pushed the technology far beyond the safe limit
    To endeavor to make the technology marketable they have exceeded the limits of the batteries in the crazy race to sell EVs

    IE if they did not overstress the batteries they could not sell the EV concept

    But in a closed workplace they don't need the maximum output to operate and would be far safer
