When an electric vehicle accelerates under heavy load, it can be exposed to a high current for a prolonged period. Over time, this will warm up the traction motors . Depending on the session difficulty settings , traction motors may trip the respective breaker when they overheat, or much worse - short-circuit and set the vehicle on fire . A very high current surge can trip the breaker even before it comes to overheating, although still at a risk of damage.
