The Fleet Imperative to Identify High Risk Drivers “The challenge with batteries is that one bad cell could create that thermal runaway that leads to a fire,” said Roei Ganzarski, CEO of Alitheon, maker of optical AI technology for counterfeit and gray market identification and traceability....
Over the last decade, the electric vehicle (EV) has significantly changed the car industry globally, driven by the fast development of Li-ion battery technology. However, the fire risk and hazard associated with this type of high-energy battery has become a major safety concern for EVs. This...
vehiclesdue to a potential fire risk. At the heart of the issue is a possible leak inside of the battery that could lead to arcing and thena thermal event. Audi and Porsche plan to have dealers inspect each car and then go to the costly measure of replacing the entire battery if needed...
Generally, with an EV fire, you get more warning and it develops more slowly. It can only develop in the batteries – there’s no flammable liquid to leak out and become a fire risk in a similar way to petrol or diesel. How do you fight a lithium-ion battery fire in an electric ve...
That could theoretically cause a fire after the car is parked in a garage. And even when the battery fire is obvious, Tesla warns first responders that it can take 24 hours for a battery fire to be fully extinguished. Can the fire risk for electric cars be reduced? Yes. And Risser ...
Furthermore, without recycling, electric car batteries risk contributing to pollution. Indeed, the production of EV batteries also involves potentially polluting processes. To address these issues, the sector is moving towards moreethical and sustainable extraction and production methods. In particular, re...
Fire tests were therefore achieved for two French car manufacturers on two battery units, on a full battery pack, on an EV and on an analogous internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle. Thermal and toxic threat parameters governing the fire risk were quantified. For this purpose, the heat ...
All employers have a legal obligation to put arrangements in place to control risks to the health and safety of their employees and others affected by their undertakings. A key part of this is risk assessment, including a fire risk assessment for your premises, whichPIB Risk Managementcan advise...

Electric cars dorequire first responders to handle them differentlyin the event of an accident or fire. Despite a fewhigh-profile fire-risk recalls, however, multiple studies show that EVs are actuallysignificantly less likely to catch fire than combustion cars. ...
