I'm not buying this at all.

People freak out about EV battery fires now (never mind that this is not actually the problem it is made out to be), can you imagine the hazmat situation from a couple of cars carrying who knows how many KG of Anhydrous Ammonia crashing into each other? I mean, you might make the fuel tanks extremely robust (and heavy) but fuel lines etc will still break. Ammonia in the air at 300 PPM will cause SEVERE injuries to anybody in the area not wearing a respirator.

And how are you supposed to fuel these cars? Have you seen the PPE you have to wear when handling Anhydrous Ammonia?
