The fire code for the garage, repair garage and parking lot of internal combustion engine vehicles does not apply to the garage of electric vehicles equipped with electric vehicle charging facilities.
There is currently no effective automatic fire extinguishing system for electric vehicle battery fires. Garages equipped with decentralized charging facilities should be equipped with fire extinguishers in accordance with the "serious danger level". The ABC dry powder fire extinguisher can be set, and the clean gas fire extinguisher can be properly added. Portable and cart can be used in the form of combination, and should be appropriately strengthened configuration amount. Water - based fire extinguishers should be carefully used. Fire extinguishers are less likely to effectively extinguish fires in electric vehicles, especially power batteries. Therefore, the configuration of fire extinguishers mainly considers fire extinguishers in charging facilities.
