I gave myself an idea. Fill the battery boxes with a fluid. If the fluid is
leaking after a wreck, the battery boxes have been compromised, so the car
shouldn't be driven.
That's not a bad idea. Batteries also need heating and cooling. Fluids
are a good way to add or remove heat. So the fluid could be circulated
with a pump, and heated/cooled as needed. That would avoid the loss in
range in cold weather, and shortened life in hot climates.
