PROACTIVE RISK MANAGEMENT for an electrified world

EV Ready NSW Councils -
a training initiative with
NSW DCCEEW

Welcome to EV FireSafe training!

As EVs and charging infrastructure rolls out across NSW, Councils are increasingly on the front line of responding to concerns about battery fires.

To support you to better understand risks and implement safe, practical controls, this page offers NSW Councils specialist EV battery fire safety training, thanks to subsidies by NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

EV FireSafe's training supports Council staff with clear, data-based guidance on EV and charging fire safety, to support a confident transition to electrification.

Thanks to subsidies provided by NSW DCCEEW, each NSW Council is eligible to receive free access to:

  • TWO enrolments in the EV Safer Charging System course
  • ONE enrolment in the EV Charging Site Fire Safety for Industry Professionals course



This subsidised access enables NSW Councils to upskill key staff at no cost, ensuring they have a clear understanding of EV charging risks, fire behaviour, and practical safety controls. The initiative supports consistent, informed decision-making across NSW LGAs while reducing barriers to essential EV fire safety training.

Frequently asked questions

Who is EV FireSafe?

We're a team of firefighters and battery fire experts who've been researching, burning, tearing down and examining EVs since 2018. Our research is funded by the Australian Department of Defence and have worked with government departments, critical infrastructure clients and emergency agencies to build awareness and enhance safety all over the world.

We're very proud to be working with Unite the Union to develop training for workplaces!

What type of training do you develop?

Our team along with other global experts specialise in data-driven online training that is accessible, self-guided and makes complex topics nice and simple! 

Our training courses are based on our extensive experience, data and globally emerging best practice. In may cases, we’re setting the global standard in EV fire safety and response, and have built out frameworks and evidence-based assessment tools designed to protect people and property.

Are these courses accredited or have CPD points?

When you train with us we'll provide an EV FireSafe Recognised, Verified or Endorsed Certificate of Completion which is globally acknowledged.

Please note, there are no formal accreditation standards for the type of courses we run (anywhere in the world...yet!).

On all topics, we aim to set the global standard in EV fire training.

What if I have a question?

If something isn't clear, or you want to get in touch, email us at hello@evfiresafe.com - allow up to 48 hours for a response from our team.

Do you sell EV fire blankets or extinguishers?

We're very proud of our global research into EV battery fires (read more about that here) which is funded by the Australian Department of Defence. That funding means the knowledge we share with you here is completely independent and not influenced by products or sales.
