EV Fire Blanket
Designed to contain Electric and Hybrid Vehicle fires, the EV Car Fire Blanket has been developed after many months of research and development.
The most common form of fire in electric or hybrid vehicles is when the high energy battery is damaged, or a manufacturing fault results in a short circuit. The battery can then go into “Thermal Runaway”, this is a phenomenon where damaged cells heat up rapidly to such an extent that a fire starts. The fire then compromises adjoining cells and a “domino effect” occurs spreading to the whole battery array.
Wing Cover Protector – EHV Warning

Printed in durable, fade resistant inks in high impact colours for great visibility.
