POSSIBLE CAUSES OF FIRES IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES AND FIRE EXTINGUISHING RULES

Аннотация

Fires in electric vehicles (EVs) can be caused by battery malfunctions, thermal runaway, manufacturing defects, overcharging, accidents, or poor maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used in EVs, pose specific fire risks due to their high energy density. Once ignited, these fires are intense and difficult to extinguish. Fire extinguishing rules emphasize using large amounts of water or special Class D extinguishers, isolating the vehicle, and ensuring thermal management.
