Does this have anything to worry consumers about in cold climates where cars could accumulate snow and road salt on them, and then say - park the car in the garage where it all melts into salt water?

Yes but a lot less.

Also yes.

Spicy pillows aren’t anything to fuck with.

You’re not going to have frozen salt water on the underside of a car. That’s kind of what the salt is for. You will get salt water eating at the metal.

Ever seen a 30 year old car from where it snows a lot? They have rust holes that eat clean through the floor. We don’t have EVs that old yet but I seriously wonder how big of a problem that might be, as the salt will eat through the battery tray at a certain point. Especially for some of the budget EVs like the Bolt.
