Reduce EV battery fire risk

Electric vehicle battery fires are rare, but when they do occur they present new risks and challenges for everyone.

EV FireSafe's database shows approx 15% of fires happen while the EV is connected to energised charging, with around a third of those in a publicly accessible car park.

This online, self-guided course steps through real-world data, including frequency, cause and the level of damage to buildings after an EV battery fire.
