Right, very few fire departments have the foam that works better on those fires.
I wonder what the car insurance companies records show about these claims. If there are enough of them, insurance costs will go up for EVs.
From an industry professional source:
“Foam is not needed to extinguish a solar panel or battery fire. In fact, testing has shown that plain water is the most effective tool.”
“Right, very few fire departments have the foam that works better on those fires.”
Foam is not recommended for Li-ion battery fires.
