Unlike gasoline-powered vehicles, electric cars use high-voltage lithium-ion batteries that contain flammable electrolytes. This makes electric car fires hard to extinguish. When an electric vehicle catches fire, the battery’s high voltage can create a phenomenon called thermal runaway, where the battery pack overheats and ignites other cells, leading to an intense and prolonged fire. This…
