NINGDE, China — As the global pandemic hit, the world’s biggest maker of electric car batteries, a Chinese company now worth more than General Motors and Ford combined, suddenly faced its own crisis.
A rival had released a video suggesting that a technology used by the company, CATL, and other manufacturers could cause car fires.

Most auto manufacturers now are very thorough concerning providing protection from such things.... "Cough-cough *clears throat* gmbolt"
