Apparently the Mitsubishi i battery pack automatically disconnects in the even of a crash to prevent fires.

The cars reacted appropriately to crash tests, with the passenger compartment remaining intact and the airbags deploying as they should. Battery covers and other protection systems were damaged by the impact, but the lithium ion cells were not affected at all. What they mean by 'other protection systems', I'm not sure.
