A lithium battery fire extinguisher won’t help much once a cell is already burning, it can’t reach the source. The best thing you can do is move anything flammable away or get the vehicle to a clear spot and let it burn out safely. A regular fire extinguisher is way more useful for cabin or bed fires, and also EVs catch fire way less often than gas cars
EV battery fires are super rare, but when they do happen, they’re an absolute nightmare to put out. The best move? Don’t let it happen in the first place. Avoid parking near anything highly flammable, stay informed about recalls, and take proactive safety measures to minimize risks.
