Owner's Checklist for EV Fire Risk
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common, they bring new fire safety challenges — especially in shared carparks with confined spaces and high fire loads. While rare, EV battery fires are intense and hard to control, posing risks to buildings, occupants, and emergency responders. Proactively managing these risks helps ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and minimises potential damage or downtime.
