Understanding the Dynamics of Electric Vehicle Fires: A Controlled Burn on a Tesla Model 3
In recent years, the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) has sparked vital discussions concerning safety, particularly when it comes to fire hazards. Monroe Live recently hosted a significant experiment, highlighting the importance of fire safety and suppression methods in electric vehicles. Al Styer, Vice President of Technology and Research at Monroe, alongside Adam from Underwriters Laboratories (UL), conducted a controlled burn of a 2021 Tesla Model 3, a part of their three-year project aimed at understanding the evolving risks associated with electrification.
