I might be getting hung up on the term "back of the vehicle", to me that means at the rear axle and back. Since the 48v battery is between the axles on the driverside, to me that is middle of the vehicle. Either way it's probably irrelevant to my question, just trying to explain why I believe some may be jumping on and saying "no it's not at the back!"The battery pack, as I stated and now you have stated and as the video shows is near the rear diff, perhaps under the rear seat, yes, but it's not UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE FIRE OBVIOUSLY STARTED.
Lipo/Lion packs, of which I have lots of experience, will spontaneously combust if punctured or drained below a certain voltage per cell, but the battery itself would be the source of ignition and the battery is located at the back of the vehicle, not under the hood...
How are you able to identify that the fire started inside of the engine compartment, under the hood? You state that it's obvious but... is it? I'm completely dumb on this subject, but it looks to me that the 48v battery burned up. How do we know that the fire moved to that battery, rather than the fire moving from that battery?
