I could feel the heat coming off it when I stood next to the repaved section. They didn’t repave the parking area at the edge. Opened to traffic again, seems firm enough to drive on at 160⁰F.

150C is over 300F
Yes, and EV batteries aren’t safe over 40⁰C
There’s no way that’s true
Of course it isn’t. My eTron targets 45°C temperature in the pack while fast charging.
Nobody asked about charging temperatures. We’re literally talking about road temperatures.
Guess what? 160⁰F ≈ 71.1⁰C, way beyond safe operating conditions…
Are you just throwing dices for numbers now? Above your were talking about 40°C.
Okay, ± 5⁰C, so what?
OP is talking about road temperatures over 70⁰C.
I’m sure that even within your varying expertise, you should be able to recognize the obvious danger to EVs here…
Road temperature is not air temperature, on a sunny day, go out, measure the road and compare it to the air above it.
OP posted fresh asphalt dipshit. Road way hotter than the air, the road hasn’t even cooled yet.
Guess you don’t know the working temperatures of asphalt, but it’s rather fucking hot, borderline tire melting temperatures hot.
They should have kept that road closed for another day or three while it cooled down.
It’s not, many EVs intentionally heat up to over 50°C during fast charging. They also have several layers of material between the bottom of the battery and the road along with airflow across the entire area, so radiant heat isn’t going to have a meaningful impact.

0⁰C to 45⁰C, and you act like vehicles don’t get stuck on the road in traffic?
Road temperatures of ~160⁰F are around 71+⁰C.
Please do your math before declaring temps are safe for lithium batteries, 160⁰F / 71.1⁰C most certainly is NOT safe for them.
Eh?
???
Above 45⁰ Celsius, there’s a high risk of lithium ion thermal runaway (aka EV explosion).
Also, temperatures as little as anything above 37⁰ Celsius are known to cause infertility in men.
Did you even read the link you sent us?
Yes, that’s exactly my point. 160⁰F = 71.11⁰C
So let’s just ignore the fact that the battery generates its own heat on top of the road its cooking on at 71⁰C…
‘This is fine’ meme vibes here…
Jesse. What the fuck are you talking about?
