    What's the chance of an EV fire? | Emma Sutcliffe - EV FireSafe

    enJune 28, 2023

    About this Episode

    EV FireSafe is a private company that received seed funding from the Australian Department of Defence to research electric vehicle high voltage battery fires & emergency response, particularly where the EV is connected to energised charging.

    Their research is referenced by the Australasian Fire Agencies Council, National Fire Chief's Council (UK), National Fire Protection Association (US) & various EV manufacturers. 

    Today I’m talking with the Project Manager of EV FireSafe - Emma Sutcliffe. Emma leads EV FireSafe's strategic direction. Her experience as an electric vehicle charging infrastructure professional & volunteer firefighter inspired the project.
