An electrical energy supply system for use in an electric vehicle. The electrical energy supply system comprises a tank configured to contain a multiplicity of batteries which are not fastened to each other, and configured to deliver electrical energy from the batteries to other systems of the vehicle, the tank comprising a release system configured to release or otherwise disperse some or all of the batteries from the tank. The system further comprises a detector configured to detect undesirable heating or thermal runaway of a battery within the multiplicity of batteries, and to cause the release system to release the batteries in response to detecting said undesirable heating or thermal runaway.
