The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) introduces new complexities in fire safety management. While statistics show that EVs are less likely to catch fire than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, the challenges associated with extinguishing EV fires can result in significantly greater damage to surrounding structures. 

Rapid intervention is critical—early detection is essential to limiting escalation and protecting property.

To meet this challenge, Lithsafe has developed an innovative system that combines advanced technology with intelligent design to minimise risk and damage. Our solution provides continuous monitoring of EV charging areas using state-of-the-art radiometric thermal imaging cameras enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI). These systems detect abnormal temperature fluctuations and instantly alert a manned 24/7 control centre, where trained professionals assess the threat in real-time.

In the event of smoke, vapour, or fire, control centre staff immediately coordinate with the nearest fire and rescue service. Upon arrival, responders have access to specialist on-site EV fire equipment, ensuring that the appropriate tools are available, regardless of which appliance or crew is first on the scene.

Importantly, Lithsafe is equally effective for ICE vehicle incidents, making it the ideal fire safety solution for multi-storey and underground car parks.
