In some cases, an EV''s battery (at least arguably) caused a fire. In other cases, an EV''s battery did not cause a fire, but it added "fuel" to a fire.
Learn MoreConclusions Several large-scale lithium-ion energy storage battery fire incidents have involved explosions. The large explosion incidents, in which battery system enclosures are damaged, are due to the deflagration of accumulated flammable gases generated during cell thermal runaways within one or more modules.
Cross-Safety.org wrote in their report "CROSS Safety Report Battery Energy Storage System concerns" in May 2023 that a safety panel in the UK agreed that "there are significant fire safety concerns related to BESSs.
Unfortunately, there have been a large number of energy storage battery fires in the past few years. For example, in South Korea, which has by far the largest number of energy storage battery installations, there were 23 reported fires between August 2017 and December 2018 according to the Korea Joongang Daily (2019).
Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions. There have been two types of explosions; flammable gas explosions due to gases generated in battery thermal runaways, and electrical arc explosions leading to structural failure of battery electrical enclosures.
The section on BESSs begin by referencing an incident from 2019 when four firefighters were injured: "On April 19, 2019, four Arizona firefighters received serious injuries because of cascading thermal runaway within a 2.16 MWh lithium-ion battery ESS that led to a deflagration event (Figure 3).
Deflagration pressure and gas burning velocity in one important incident. High-voltage arc induced explosion pressures. Utility-scale lithium-ion energy storage batteries are being installed at an accelerating rate in many parts of the world. Some of these batteries have experienced troubling fires and explosions.
