The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

edit: after 20 comments, i'm adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:
This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.
but the article is about exploding batteries, no?
That's like saying exploding cars when you're really talking about a bomb placed in a car...
"A bomb going 80 mph on the highway exploded."
Doesn't give the right information.
And if we're being pedantic, when a bomb explodes, so does everything around it. Exploding doesn't require a chemical reaction. It's the act of tearing apart quickly. So yes, the car exploded.
That's in English though. Other languages may be different.
