I love it but I personally would be too scared to ride it with that many cells sandwiched between what seems to be just foam board.

That's trespa, very strong stuff, weather proof, 6 mm thick.
Oh... I worked with something really similar but only for decoration purposes. I guess it's rigged enough to give the construction stability but it's still very prone to punctures. Do you think it would withstand a rock chip at higher speeds also do you prefer the high mechanical stability for a battery package? I don't really know if I would prefer it to warp at impact or break like hpl.
Rock chip no problem. Side impact by a car: big problem, but then I would have problems anyway, so my solution is to drive super defensively. Cities are the risky areas once outside of town it's safe to make some speed. The battery box is also protected by the frame triangle, which is fairly strong.
