This article focuses on the environmental and economic advantages of electric vehicles (EV), as well as the battery technologies and fire risks associated with them. Electric vehicles have many advantages compared to fossil fuel-powered vehicles, such as lower carbon emissions and reduced operating costs. However, they also have disadvantages, including high initial costs, limited range, and underdeveloped charging infrastructure. The causes of electric vehicle fires can be categorized as battery failures, charging issues, manufacturing defects, external damage, and problems with electrical systems. Firefighting equipment solutions discussed in the article include fire blankets, Ziamatic, and TFT brand fire suppression systems. This article emphasizes the importance of improving battery safety and manufacturing standards, developing charging infrastructure, expanding the use of firefighting equipment, and continuous research and development activities.
