Accordingly, the most important part of an electric vehicle is the battery, which is often mistakenly thought to be the cause of vehicle fires. However, experts say the technology used in electric vehicle batteries is specifically designed to ensure safety.

Unlike gasoline, which ignites immediately upon contact with a spark or flame, lithium-ion batteries need time to reach the necessary heat for ignition. Meanwhile, the battery system on electric vehicles is protected with a thick layer of metal to minimize risk. Furthermore, the battery box on an electric vehicle is a collection of countless separate modules, each module has its own "fuse" system to shut off power to each part, helping to reduce the risk of fire and explosion.

In fact, electric vehicles use lithium-ion batteries to store and supply energy to electric motors. Lithium - ion batteries have been developed and manufactured to meet very high safety standards, and they have protective features to prevent fires and explosions. Electric vehicle manufacturers have also designed safety systems to ensure that electric vehicles operate safely.

Not only in electric vehicles, but today lithium-ion batteries are present in nearly every consumer technology product, from laptops, cameras, and smartphones. Therefore, the battery on electric vehicles is very safe by nature. Batteries are devices with high technical design and if you only spend a few million on a battery, you may have bought a low quality one. Additionally, misuse and old batteries can increase the risk of fire and explosion.

In addition to electric vehicles, experts warn anyone using lithium-ion batteries in other forms should also follow proper battery charging and usage guidelines. According to researchers at the University of Michigan, devices with this type of battery must be charged and stored in a cool, dry place and should not be charged for too long or while sleeping.

Batteries should also be checked regularly to ensure they are not cracked, swollen or leaking, and people should use the charger that came with the device or use a charger from a reputable supplier. The battery is too old so you should replace it instead of reselling or reusing it.

It can be said that the mini apartment fire on Khuong Ha street is leaving horrifying memories for people across our country. Currently, the authorities have not officially announced the cause of the tragic fire at a mini apartment building in Khuong Ha.
