Customer ServiceResearchers have long known that high electric currents can lead to "thermal runaway" – a chain reaction that can cause a battery to overheat, catch fire, and explode. But without a reliable method to measure currents inside a resting battery, it has not been clear why some batteries go into thermal runaway, even when an EV is parked.

Customer ServiceElectric Car Battery Explosions Electric car batteries are designed to operate under various conditions, even in extreme environments. However, when these conditions become too harsh, battery cells may experience thermal runaway, causing them to overheat and ignite a fire or even explode.
Electric car battery explosions are a rare but potential danger that can occur in collisions and accidents. The causes of these explosions can vary, but one of the main culprits is thermal runaway. This phenomenon occurs when the battery overheats due to external factors such as extreme temperatures, physical damage, or improper installation.
When a lithium-ion battery fire breaks out, the damage can be extensive. These fires are not only intense, they are also long-lasting and potentially toxic. What causes these fires? Most electric vehicles humming along Australian roads are packed with lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries power many electric cars, bikes and scooters. When they are damaged or overheated, they can ignite or explode. Four engineers explain how to handle these devices safely.
Another factor that makes lithium-ion battery fires challenging to handle is oxygen generation. When the metal oxides in a battery’s cathode, or positively charged electrode, are heated, they decompose and release oxygen gas. Fires need oxygen to burn, so a battery that can create oxygen can sustain a fire.
In case of an electric car battery explosion, you should exit the vehicle immediately, move to a safe distance, and call emergency services. Do not try to put out the fire by yourself.
