Inside a $2M Porsche 918 Battery That Survived a Fire

Go to https://bit.ly/EVraffleRichRebuilds for your chance to win a Rivian R1T or R1S, a Lucid Gravity or Air, OR a Porsche Macan EV or Taycan - YOU CHOOSE! The second-prize winner will choose between a Hyundai Ioniq 5 or a Volkswagen ID. Buzz. And this year, there’s a third prize, the Chevy Equinox EV! Your $200 ticket helps support the nonprofit work of CCAN Action Fund. This $2,000,000 Porsche 918 burned to the ground… but somehow, its 11-year-old battery survived. So obviously, I had to take it apart. In this video, we crack open the hybrid battery from a fire-damaged Porsche 918 Spyder — and what we found inside is insane. Despite being roasted and over a decade old, the battery still looks like a piece of EV engineering art. Built by Williams Advanced Engineering, this thing has thermal design features that outperform even some modern EVs.
