1) Fair point, however, it serves a thought that things we use everyday carry comparable explosive power to literal weaponry

2) You can do much worse to a battery than some of the EV's that ignite. Sure an EV fire is destructive and can take WEEKs to put out, but we know we can use batteries as an explosive, which is what my point rests on. The napkin Math i did while doing some research on this subject would put the TNT equivalent of an EV to about a metric ton +- 10% of avaliable potential energy that can go boom. (Based on 230,000 kJ of energy capable of being held in a rechargable EV battery (50kg of TNT equivalent of explosive power) which isnt including the other energy stored in a battery, which is often cited as 20-30x the amount the battery can hold for regular discharge, which makes up the metric ton. Granted it cannot all be released at one instant to create a 1ton explosion, but it is more energy than a petrol car could produce (around 300Kg equiv of TNT), and that energy can be utilized by a reaction quicker than a petrol cars explosion (Petrol cars are very bad bombs unless youre within touching distance)

3) Blowing up a city block was hyperbole, sorry it didnt come across, and i dont consider the case of planting additional explosives to be part of my point, you can already do that with bicycles and skateboards even

Again, im not a Electro-chemical engineer, nor am i claiming to be, I have run this past some to get the 20x number for battery potentials though
