How Common are EV Fires and How Serious are They?

Key Points: 
  • How Common are EV Fires and How Serious are They?
  • Regarding how common vehicle fires actually are, there have been several studies on the topic.
  • Whilst the occurrence is lower for EVs, when an EV does catch fire, the consequences can be very problematic.
  • It doesn't help that the occurrence of EV fires can be unpredictable, with research conducted by IDTechEx suggesting that a third of EV fires occur when the vehicle is stationary, parked, and not charging.
