Accelerate the World's Transition to Sustainable Energy - to fight Anthropogenic Climate Change, page-22494

Further, the temperatures of fires that involve internal combustion engines can reach 1,500 degrees F; temperatures of fires that involve EVs can reach 4,500 degrees F and hotter. The temperature of an EV fire is a major concern for parking garages...

*** Finally, remember that an EV has three distinct properties: chemical, electrical and thermal. All three can make for a bad day on your shift.
