Electric drive requires an enormous multi-ton battery i.e. a bomb. It's a reasonable concern.

People always say this, but a big tank of fossil fuels is a bomb too! We have managed just fine with them.

A gas tank, a propane tank, heck even a diesel tank, are all more dangerous than my LFP pack. Also my LFP pack weights 81kg, not a ton, definitely not multiple tons.
