Bengaluru, an electric car burst into flames near Dalmia Circle in the JPNagar area, creating a horrifying scene that has gone viral on social media. Fortunately, no casualties have been reported, but the cause of the fire remains unknown. Electric vehicle fires, although rare in theory, often attract significant attention when they do occur. These incidents are primarily attributed to the high energy density of electric vehicle battery packs, which store a large amount of energy in a compact space. When the battery pack is damaged, an internal short circuit can trigger a chain reaction known as thermal runaway. During this process, the battery generates more heat than it can dissipate, leading to a fire. About 95% of battery fires in electric vehicles are classified as ignition fires, producing jet-like directional flames. The remaining 5% involve a vapor cloud explosion. Several factors can cause a battery to catch fire, including physical damage from accidents, manufacturing defects, battery faults, workshop repairs, arson, external fires, or overheating.
