I would not worry about weight distribution too much. That is the easy part. You just pile upp batteries where the engine block used to be and the luggage department up to the original weight.

The main concern is probably electrical safety and fire protection for the batteries.

LFP and Sodium Ion don't have fire issues. That's NMC chemistries.

There's a name for trying to fit as much power in as small as space as possible, which is what batteries are doing: a bomb.

I'm sure there's SOME way to get LFP on fire. But the article basically is trying to point to one or two poorly documented instances of fires. That is a very small number.

Anyway, we'll see...
