February 2025 - EV Batteries and Fire Risk

Battery fires are sure to make the news while ICE fires are just another black spot on the side of a road. Are our batteries dangerous? What is the risk of parking and charging in a garage? How about a power wall?

For February we are fortunate to have San Diego Fire's new alternative energy emergency response coordinator speak to us about fire risk and EV batteries. Chief Rezende will share a couple pics/videos of incidents that demonstrate the challenges associated from the first responder perspective. Come learn what is fact and what is an isolated incident serving as clickbait.

Be sure to RSVP so we can plan for pizza.
