Whether EVs are more likely to catch fire than IC-engined vehicles is uncertain, as small sample sizes make reliable statistical comparisons difficult (writes Peter Donaldson). Nonetheless, lithium-ion battery fires are difficult to extinguish because they release oxygen and hydrocarbons from the thermal breakdown of compounds in their cathodes and liquid electrolytes. A major focus for […] More…
