On Tuesday morning, 1 September, fire broke out in an electric vehicle in the Marktplein car park in Epe, The Netherlands. The car park is protected with a sprinkler system which activated and controlled the fire. It is not yet clear how the fire started. Epe local council confirmed that it was the car owner.<\/p>\n
While fire tests have been carried out on cars with internal combustion engines, no data have been made public on tests with electric vehicles. We know that a battery fire in an electric vehicle cannot be extinguished by a sprinkler system but have argued that a sprinkler system will prevent spread to other vehicles and limit the heat release rate from the first vehicle. This incident has confirmed that.
