Webinar recording - EV Charging Safety for Emergency Response, 6th July 2023 at 11:00 AEST
Our video volume didn't work (argh!) so here are the videos played in this presentation:
Thermal imaging lithium-ion battery thermal runaway: evfiresafe.com/ev-fire-what-is-thermal-runaway
Electric van thermal runaway: evfiresafe.com/ev-fire-behaviour
Vapour cloud explosion in home garage: youtube.com/watch?v=PNuSUsvnxEA&t=42s
Thanks to everyone who joined us for this webinar, we appreciate your time & contribution. Huge thanks to the EV FireSafe team, including Ciara Kruger & Dan Fish, Bailey Sievewright form the Electric Vehicle Council & Gary Rake & his team at the Australian Building Code Board.
The ABCB Advisory Notice that supports safety EV charging sites for emergency responders, & the supporting report can be found here - evfiresafe.com/ev-fires-buildings
We're delighted this guidance has been published as low cost, low impact, sensible considerations that aim to keep everyone safer while EV battery fire research, testing & knowledge matures.
This is the first guidance published globally for EV charging site safety, that has an emergency response focus.

IMPORTANT:
Road registered EVs are inherently safe & battery fires are very rare.

Always follow your emergency agency SOPs when attending EV fires &/or incidents.
About the EV FireSafe research project
EV FireSafe is a research project aiming to identify the risks to emergency responders when attending an electric vehicle (EV) lithium traction battery fire, particularly where that vehicle is connected to energised charging. We are proudly funded by the Australian Department of Defence, with assistance from Deakin University. See more or get in touch at evfiresafe.com
