Fireisolator EV-Car Fire Protection on Ferries

Abstract: 
The danger of lithium-ion batteries, such as those found in smartphones and electric vehicles (EVs), catching fire or exploding is well known. Although the actual impact of an EV battery catching fire and the dangers that those fires can cause are widely known, it remains very difficult to extinguish these fires. Imagine this happening on the cardeck of a ferry. The consequences could be disastrous. The methods for extinguishing a lithium-ion battery fire are depending on the location and size of the fire. However, as a general rule, special extinguishers & methods are needed to fully and safely extinguish or isolate the fire during sailing.
