Engineering360: "Magnesium Sheet Metal Stronger than Aluminum"

What about the flammability question for this new alloy? Is the Magnesium content low enough that it will not ignite?

Aluminum is a good fuel as well. Of course until they get gasoline and rubber in their unignitable forms, even cars with all steel bodies will burn very hot.

Yes, you sort of have a point. The real point is if you remove all the major fire hazards, by having an all EV, and the batteries won't spontaneously ignite, why have body panels that will ignite?
