Specialized tools go toward dunking the whole car in a container full of water or delivering the water to the underside of the car. Seems to me that water remains the preferred solution for some good reason. Maybe environmental?
- egberts1 4y agoTakes up to 3,000 gallons of water for a 600lbs Lithium ion battery that has caught on fire. Most promising put out of EV fires is “dunking” the EV: erecting a portable tank wall around the EV on fire and pouring water into it. Dunking helps to contain environmental spread of 7,000 cells of chemicals. Unfortunately, dunking doesn’t work everywhere (ie, ravine, ditch, pileups, uneven ground). https://www.firehouse.com/operations-training/article/21255066/university-of-extrication-electric-vehicle-fire-suppression https://www.firehouse.com/operations-training/article/212550...
