Are batteries dangerous in cars?
EVs – General
There are numerous studies that show that fires in EVs are no more likely to occur than fires in Internal Combustion Engine Vehicles (ICEVs). Australian fire and rescue organisations do not treat EVs as any more dangerous than ICEVs. All vehicles sold new in Australia, including EVs, must adhere to strict Australian Vehicle Standards Rules.
