Electric Vehicles on Ferries Are A Terrible Fire Hazard🔥
Recent tests by the Danish Institute of Fire and Security Technology reveal a clear and present danger posed by electric vehicles (EVs) on ferries.
With the surge of EVs in Europe, the looming threat of battery fires aboard ferries is obvious.
A lithium battery fire on a ferry is a catastrophe waiting to happen. The dire implications become undeniable when visualising a ferry mid-crossing, densely packed with vehicles and passengers.
A single battery fire on the vehicle deck will destroy the vessel.
During DBI's study, fire alarmingly spread to adjacent cars in just two minutes.
Alexander Kleiman, Maritime R&D Project Manager at DBI, has pointed out that the unpredictability of such fires is vast.
Traditional methods are not sufficient to control these volatile EV fires.
The potential solution of using a fire tarpaulin to encase a burning vehicle is not feasible due to the tight parking of cars on ferries.
Such half-baked measures are inadequate in the face of a real threat.
EV electric vehicles on ferries ar unacceptable fire hazard.
We need Immediate action to ensure the safety of all ferry passengers. 🚗🔥🛳️
