Electric cars are claimed to be environmentally friendly vehicles that are emissions free at all. But, in fact, to produce an electric car certainly produces emissions, and also the processing of used batteries cannot be said to be emissions free. Besides that, under certain conditions electric cars, or rather batteries on electric cars have the potential to produce toxic gases. In the emergency response guide issued by Tesla. Batteries that burn or heat up can release toxic gases.
Another important thing is that damage to high voltage batteries can cause the battery cells to heat constantly.
If the battery burns, Tesla requires it to extinguish it with water. No half-hearted, it takes up to 3,000 gallons of water to turn off the fire and cool the battery. Don't Forget to always provide a water supply. If you cannot get access to water, use any form of fire extinguisher, while waiting for the water shipment to arrive.
