| Video Discription | It's time to talk about electric car fires. How likely is an EV to catch fire and what are the consequences when they do. In this episode we look at a recent study published in Sweden that looks at vehicle fires, including EVs. More info on that below: https://www.msb.se/sv/aktuellt/nyheter/2023/maj/brander-i-eltransportmedel-under-2022/?ref=warpnews.org The full report is available here: https://rib.msb.se/filer/pdf/29438.pdf We also look at what strategies firefighters are using to control EV fires. As the way in which an EV fire is managed is often different compared to an ICE car fire. One common way in which to supress an EV fire is using a fire blanket/cloak: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_JINtx08iA Other technologies which are now being used to extinguish a battery fire in an EV are those that pierce the battery pack in order to cool the modules down with water from within: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaIAb3XgYVY In the very unlikely scenario that a car catches fire, the strategies used by fire departments is changing, according to whether it's an EV battery fire or an ICE vehicle fire (i.e. petrol/diesel). Below is another good video about the facts and stats of EV fires in Australia, sourced from a very good website with lots of other useful information about EV fires www.evfiresafe.com https://youtu.be/IQJBlMujlp8?si=YjSW6SNvlzoGvPdR Here’s a good report from www.Lashfire.eu an organisation dedicated to improving fire safety on ro-ro ships. https://lashfire.eu/media/2022/09/2022-08_Facts_and_Myths.pdf And here’s a summary sheet from Lashfire for those that don’t like a longer read. https://lashfire.eu/media/2023/07/LASH_FIRE_Facts_and_myths_digital.pdf #evfire #electriccars #electriccarfire |
