The entire battery pack of a Chinese EV falls out on the road while driving

In a bizarre incident, a video captured the aftermath of an entire EV battery pack falling out of the car in the middle of the road while driving. The incident took place on a Ring Road in Chengdu in China's Sichuan province.

While the video doesn't show the battery pack falling out of the car, it does show the battery lying on the road with the EV parked just a few metres ahead. The car involved in the incident is the Cao Cao 60 - the first EV from 'Cao Cao Mobility', which is Geely's ride-hailing business.



It is unclear as to how the incident occurred, although the Cao Cao 60 is said to support battery swapping. Geely even claims that the battery pack on the EV can be swapped out in just 60 seconds. Reports speculate that one of the bolts that hold the battery in place might not have been correctly tightened, which led to the battery falling out.

Does that include the 2 seconds it probably takes for the pack to fall off?
Cutting edge tech inspired by space shuttles, which as you all know drop more parts into the atmosphere the further they go into orbit. Also, Cao Cao! Really China?

In the evolution race, this can happen in any country. Nothing to do with China. Rather applaud them for being ambitious with swapping battery packs in cars when some of our EV bikes have fixed battery packs, not everyone has basement charging ports.
