This problem will probably start occuring in 15-20 years time when the technology picks up and becomes standard and we've got AFF members swapping out battery banks and changing wiring to make their cars faster.
Yeah, agree with the sentiment ... but it is not unlike ICE fitted with airbags and other toys is without safety risks either. We are just going to have to pick up a new set of skills, just like our grandfathers did when they moved from steam to ICE.

Found these instructions about how to work safely with a PHEV. It looks like a Dutch version translated to English using Google. But, there is enough there to get the general idea of the challenges with large battery banks.
