This is where I refer you to the story of how former EVDLer John "Plasma Boy" Wayland got his nickname (short version). http://evdl.org/pages/plasmaboy.html Please read it! It could save your life. John's an entertaining writer, but there's nothing funny about this tale. A good EV battery can easily deliver around 300kW for some minutes. That's about as much power as 6 to 12 typical home power systems! Some EV batteries can produce even more than that. The amount of raw power on tap is just stupefying. It demands deep respect. John's lucky he wasn't incinerated, along with his bystanders, his car, his garage, and his house. Please, read his story, and learn from his mistake.
