Have You Ever Seen an Electric Vehicle Catch Fire?
Chances are, like most people, you’ve never witnessed a fully functional electric vehicle fire.
But it’s worth asking: when such a fire does occur, how do people extinguish it?
Are water, foam, or traditional chemical extinguishers enough?
We wanted to answer these questions by demonstrating them with a fully operational electric vehicle.
Responding to a 100% Electric Vehicle Fire with a Fire Containment Blanket
In collaboration with the Istanbul Fire Department, we organized the world’s first striking fire drill of its kind. Nivofire deliberately set a fully functional electric vehicle on fire to simulate the toughest scenario. (drill video)
So what was the purpose? To test our newest product — the Nivofire Alpha Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket — under the most extreme conditions.
Designed to withstand high temperatures, the Alpha fire blanket suppressed the flames within just a few minutes. Moreover, Alpha prevented the spread of toxic gases and stopped the fire from spreading to the surrounding area. The electric vehicle fire drill using Alpha was successfully completed.
This drill was not just a test — it was a turning point. Nivofire Alpha once again proved that the most effective way to stop EV fires is through the proper use of a fire containment blanket.
A Proven Success Story
Including the most recent drill in Istanbul, Nivofire has used the same Alpha fire blanket in a total of seven fire demonstrations. Throughout these tests, our Alpha fire blanket retained all of its properties and remained fully functional. As a result, Alpha has proven that it’s ready for the next electric vehicle fire.
Nivofire Alpha is proudly manufactured in Turkey and is the country’s first reusable electric vehicle fire blanket. It stands among the most innovative and reliable solutions in the world against EV and battery fires.
We don’t just adapt to change — we lead it.
