I know EV battery fires are rare, but with the size of the Silverado EV/Sierra EV battery packs, I’ve been thinking about whether a handheld fire extinguisher is actually useful in an emergency.
I came across a fire extinguisher designed for lithium battery fires, seems like it could be helpful if you catch an issue early enough.
Has anyone looked into these types of extinguishers for their EV? Would a standard extinguisher be effective at all, or do you need something lithium-specific? Do you think carrying one in the truck is a good precaution, or overkill?
