The Fire Protection Research Foundation (FPRF) has begun looking into this issue and has a report on modern vehicle hazards in parking garages . The additional risk of an EV charging fire to a parking garage full of plastic burning vehicles, melting fuel tanks and increased fire loads is a new challenge that needs further research.
An electrical infrastructure for EV charging introduces new risks. Lithium-ion batteries, commonly used within EV store energy in a high density and, in event of a fire or thermal runaway, can result in a significant fire or explosion which is exceedingly difficult to control. In some cases, fires have occurred days after an incident.
A fire involving one or more vehicles can result in a significant fire challenge, particularly inside of buildings. Where the provision of EV charging is being considered or has already been installed, the property fire risks should be carefully identified, assessed, and managed in collaboration with your broker and insurer.
This typically requires lifting the vehicle onto one side to flood water onto the battery pack. While that may be feasible for an EV fire on the street, it is difficult to do within a parking garage. In addition, an EV battery fire burns intensely over a long period and is likely to spread the fire to nearby cars.
The EV fire also burns extremely hot at the ground level, potentially eroding through a concrete floor, now making vehicles on lower ramps susceptible to the spreading fire as well. If possible, hold off on installing charging stations within parking garages. Instead, place them in the parking lot, perhaps under a basic cover structure.
If possible, hold off on installing charging stations within parking garages. Instead, place them in the parking lot, perhaps under a basic cover structure. Reach out to your responding fire department, and talk to them about the possibility of an EV fire in your parking garage and how they would handle it.
