The Truth about Electric Vehicle Chargers and Fires 🔥 At EVSE, we frequently hear concerns about the fire risks associated with Electric Vehicles (EVs) and their chargers. There’s a lot of noise and misinformation out there, making it easy for these fears to spread. But how much of it is actually true? Aristides Nikolopoulos, our Head of Engineering, decided to sit down with Alister Curtain, a fire engineer from ADP Consulting, to get to the bottom of these concerns and dive in to the facts. We wanted to understand the real risks and, more importantly, the safety measures in place to keep EV owners and charger operators safe. What we found is reassuring: with the right precautions and certified equipment, EVs and their chargers are incredibly safe. Don’t let myths hold you back from embracing the future of transportation. 🚘💡 Check out our latest video where we break down everything you need to know about EV fire safety and why driving electric is safer than ever.

Great video! It's refreshing to see facts from experts amidst all the myths and fear-mongering surrounding fires.

Also worth noting that the AFAC doctrine that was recently endorsed by F&R NSW has advocated expectations for risk mitigation from an EV fire. This is available for reading here - https://www.fire.nsw.gov.au/page.php?id=9447&position=8

Good video, 9.5 out of 10. It is next to useless to put EVs locations on a fire panel. Go to any parking lot there are EVs dotted everywhere. So this being useful is a myth ATM. Liked the information. But you do talk about over charging and then contradicted that statement later. Other than a few refinements a good educational video.

A great video that I’m sure some of our clients would be interested in to put to bed so many of the myths out there re EV’s and their charging.
