Electric vehicle fires are very rare. The risk for petrol and diesel vehicles is at least 20 times higher

Five cars were destroyed after a lithium battery ignited in a car parked at Sydney Airport on Monday.

Key Points: 
  • Five cars were destroyed after a lithium battery ignited in a car parked at Sydney Airport on Monday.
  • Despite these incidents, electric vehicle battery fires are rare.
  • Indeed, the available data indicate the fire risk is between 20 and 80 times greater for petrol and diesel vehicles.

How common are these fires?

    • From 2010 to June 2023, its database records only 393 verified fires globally, out of some 30 million electric vehicles on the road.
    • Australia recorded only four electric vehicle battery fires over the same period.
    • Read more:
      Australia’s adoption of electric vehicles has been maddeningly slow, but we’re well placed to catch up fast

Are the risks higher than for petrol or diesel cars?

    • As electric vehicle numbers grow, this week’s reports might lead some people to fear fire risks will increase.
    • However, data for the past 13 years suggest quite the opposite is true as electric vehicles replace petrol and diesel vehicles.
    • The fleet of 4.4 million petrol and diesel vehicles recorded 3,400 fires (0.08%).
    • While it was difficult to find similar global statistics for petrol and diesel vehicles, EV Firesafe used a range of country reports and found a much higher 0.1% risk of catching fire.

What causes electric vehicle fires?

    • Electric vehicle battery packs store a lot of energy in a very small space.
    • About 95% of battery fires are classed as ignition fires, which produce jet-like directional flames.

A battery fire is challenging

    • Lithium battery fires burn at extremely high temperatures, can last for days and cause extensive damage.
    • If not managed properly, battery fires can emit highly toxic gases and chemicals for many hours.
    • Methods to control a fire include cooling the battery with water, or using a crane to lift the vehicle and submerge it in a large water container.

Why are the risks higher in e-scooters and e-bikes?

    • In the first half of 2023, EV Firesafe data show they accounted for more than 500 battery fires, 138 injuries and 36 deaths worldwide.
    • Over the same six months, 35 electric vehicle battery fires resulted in eight injuries and four deaths.
    • The higher risk for e-scooters and e-bikes is mainly linked to poor-quality battery design and construction, and the use of unapproved chargers.

A national approach to electric vehicle fire safety

    • As part of the strategy, the federal government committed to funding the development of world-leading guidance on electric vehicles, road rescue demonstrations and fire safety training.
    • The surge in electric vehicle numbers means this funding is needed now to ensure firefighters can deal effectively with any fires that do happen.

Viewed as a significant component in the commercialization process, the third-party testing will measure and certify the critical safety and performance features of NEXBOARD, including its strength, resistance and insulating capabilities, and provide a basis for comparison with traditional building materials like drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF and MgO board.

Key Points: 
  • Viewed as a significant component in the commercialization process, the third-party testing will measure and certify the critical safety and performance features of NEXBOARD, including its strength, resistance and insulating capabilities, and provide a basis for comparison with traditional building materials like drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF and MgO board.
  • Along with the NFPA 286, the testing agencies will conduct the ASTM E84 test, measuring flame spread and smoke development, and tests related to moisture and water resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, VOC emissions, tensile strength and hardness.
  • “We are working with some of the most respected testing agencies in the United States to validate the superior performance features of NEXBOARD.
  • We are planning to submit our most recent NEXBOARD panels with updated composite formulations for the fire and thermal transmission testing and certifications next week,” said Keith Duffy, CEO of Xeriant.

The US is spending billions to reduce forest fire risks – we mapped the hot spots where treatment offers the biggest payoff for people and climate

The U.S. government is investing over US$7 billion in the coming years to try to manage the nation’s escalating wildfire crisis.

Key Points: 
  • The U.S. government is investing over US$7 billion in the coming years to try to manage the nation’s escalating wildfire crisis.
  • That includes a commitment to treat at least 60 million acres in the next 10 years by expanding forest-thinning efforts and controlled burns.
  • While that sounds like a lot – 60 million acres is about the size of Wyoming – it’s nowhere close to enough to treat every acre that needs it.

Wildfires are becoming more severe

    • Fires in dry conifer forests like ponderosa pine historically occurred frequently, clearing out brush and small trees in the understory.
    • As a result, fires had less fuel and tended to stay on the ground, doing less damage to the larger, older trees.
    • In the absence of fire, dry conifer forests accumulated excess fuel that now allows wildfires to climb into the canopy.

High-risk areas that meet both goals

    • In each area, we considered the likelihood of wildfire and calculated how much forest carbon might be lost through smoke emissions and decomposition.
    • Additionally, we evaluated whether the conditions in burned areas would be too stressful for trees to regenerate over time.

Why treating forests is good for carbon, too

    • Consequently, when a wildfire occurs in a thinned and burned area, flames are more likely to remain on the ground and out of the canopy.
    • Although forest thinning and controlled burning remove carbon in the short term, living trees are more likely to survive a subsequent wildfire.
    • In the long term, that’s a good outcome for carbon and climate.
