A recent spate of electric bus fires in Paris, Europe, has brought to attention the battery tech used on those vehicles.

The vehicles are made by “Blue Bus” by the Bollore company and use their own manufactured battery technology termed “LMP” or Lithium Metal Polymer cells,..a cell without Nickle or Cobalt, and claimed to be “Solid State” and safe !.
This seems to be a mature commercial technology in use for several years and outside the normal LiPo, LiCo, LFP, LiFePo4, NMC, NCA, etc etc technologies.

Has this been off our radar for some reason (low specific energy, low charge/discharge rates etc), as i dont recall any discussion on this technology.
My concern is that they have been claiming the technology is very safe, and there is no risk of fire.....but videos of those bus fire/explosion plainly disprove that. ,!
