EV Garage Fire in Korea, and Future Mitigation Strategies
Interview William S. Lerner
Regarding the Incheon EV fire, I urgently sought out William S. Lerner FRSA, an EV infrastructure specialist and risk mitigation consultant from the U.S., for a follow-up interview after a year. The previous interview focused on e-bike fires in New York, methods for mitigating EV fires, and considerations related to his patents. This time, amidst active discussions by our authorities on preventive measures for EV accidents, I wanted to hear the expert’s opinion on why it is crucial for OEM, first responders, garage owners, and the general public to be able to immediately identify EVs, hybrid cars, and gasoline vehicles, including all relevant information about the batteries.
