That has prompted a study by the NHTSA that says they provide scant guidance for avoiding high-voltage battery fires. Energy can remain in batteries after a crash. It is stranded energy that can lead to what is called “thermal runaway.” That''s why there have been post-crash fires sometimes weeks after an accident.

As payback, however, there are certain restrictions. One reason for this practice is that too little research has been done into the behaviour of battery components under crash conditions, such as battery cells," explains Wolfgang Sinz from the Institute of Vehicle Safety at TU Graz.

Thermal runaway accidents caused by mechanical abuse factors such as collisions currently account for a relatively high proportion of safety accidents in electric vehicles. Studies in this area of the existing literature have focused on static loading conditions in the laboratory and actual vehicle driving conditions.
Safety diagnostics and methods related to EV battery safety are also at their nascent stage. Therefore, continuous R&D is needed to drive LiB-specific safety diagnostics to maturity with robust demonstration capability.
On-site or off-site discharge On-site discharging of a disabled EV battery pack is one possibility for safe post-accident handling. It has been reported that the risk of a catastrophic energetic event in the LiBs can be minimized if the SOC/energy level of the battery can be reduced to less than 50% [ 4 ].
