With the increase in battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs, HEVs and PHEVs) on the road, statistically the risk potential for an accident or technical defect of the inherently safe battery systems also increases. The Achilles’ heel of a battery is the separator, Rosenbauer notes; the separator has only limited temperature resistance.
