Australian ferry operators put on alert for electric car fires
30.10.2023
The regulatory body has published a safety alert listing the risks associated with lithium-ion car batteries and making recommendations.
Domestic operators of roll-on roll-on (RORO) ferries have been advised to plan for the eventuality of an EV fire, which are substantially more difficult to fight than fires caused by internal-combustion (ICE) vehicles.
The authority has warned ferry operators about the risk of high-voltage shocks, toxic gas leaks and explosions, and direct jet flames.

These EVs are dangerous. Never heard any concern about fires from internal combustion engine cars in the past. I would hate to be sleeping in a high rise apartment knowing that there is an EV in the basement.
