EV Fire Safety: Fire Blanket vs Fire Extinguisher – Which Works Better?
As electric vehicles (EVs) gain popularity in Malaysia, the importance of EV fire safety grows. Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries are not like regular fires — they burn hotter, longer, and can reignite. In such emergencies, which tool gives you better protection: a fire extinguisher or an EV fire blanket?
Fire Extinguishers: Benefits & Limitations
✅ Ideal for common fires (Class A – solids, B – flammable liquids, C – gases)
✅ Widely available in homes, offices, and vehicles
❌ Not suitable for lithium-ion battery fires – EV batteries can reignite even after being extinguished
❌ Requires training and correct technique
❌ Short spray time (approx. 30 seconds)
❌ Risk of incorrect use or insufficient coverage
EV Fire Blanket: Smarter Fire Control
✅ Designed specifically for lithium-ion battery fires in EVs
✅ Simple deployment – just unfold and cover the entire vehicle
✅ Suppresses flames, toxic smoke, and heat
✅ No risk of user error – anyone can use it safely
✅ No maintenance needed, unlike extinguishers
✅ Certified by SIRIM and approved by BOMBA (for selected models)
Why EV Fire Blankets Are the Better Choice
While fire extinguishers remain useful for regular fires, they are not reliable for EV battery fires. The EV fire blanket is a faster, safer, and more effective solution for controlling electric vehicle fires.
It’s your first line of defense in EV fire safety – simple, safe, and proven.
