Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket & Lithium Battery Fire Cover

The Smoke Detector Pro Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket is a firefighter-designed fire containment blanket for electric vehicles, EV charging areas, garages, parking structures, dealerships, fleets, towing operations, and emergency response applications. Designed specifically with lithium-ion battery incidents in mind, this oversized EV fire blanket helps contain flames, sparks, heat, and fire spread during an electric vehicle fire while occupants evacuate and first responders are contacted.

Lithium-ion battery fires behave differently from conventional vehicle fires because damaged battery cells can enter thermal runaway, continuing to generate heat and potentially reigniting after visible flames have been reduced. An appropriately sized electric car fire blanket provides an additional layer of emergency preparedness by helping isolate the involved vehicle and limit flame spread to nearby vehicles, structures, and combustible materials.

EV Fire Blanket for Tesla & Other Electric Vehicles

Our 18 ft × 24 ft Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket is oversized to cover most passenger electric vehicles and includes a rapid-deployment storage backpack with handles.

It is suitable for many popular electric vehicles, including Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck; Rivian R1T and R1S; Ford F-150 Lightning and Mustang Mach-E; Chevrolet Equinox EV and Blazer EV; GMC Hummer EV; Hyundai Ioniq; Kia EV6; Volkswagen ID.4; Nissan Ariya; BMW i Series; Mercedes EQ; Lucid; Polestar; Volvo EVs; and other appropriately sized passenger electric vehicles.

Lithium Battery & Thermal Runaway Fire Containment

Electric vehicle battery incidents can result from collision damage, internal battery failures, charging equipment malfunctions, water damage, manufacturing defects, improper repairs, or other physical damage.

During thermal runaway, lithium-ion battery cells can release intense heat and flammable gases and trigger neighboring cells. An EV lithium battery fire blanket can help contain external flames and reduce fire spread, but it does not stop thermal runaway occurring inside the battery pack. Electric vehicle battery fires require professional emergency response and may reignite.

Always evacuate the area and call 911 during an electric vehicle battery fire.

Frequently Asked Questions About EV Fire Blankets

What is an Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket?

An Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket, also called an EV fire blanket or electric car fire blanket, is a large high-temperature-resistant blanket designed to cover an involved vehicle and help contain flames, heat, sparks, and fire spread during an electric vehicle fire.

How does an EV fire blanket work?

An EV fire blanket creates a physical barrier around the involved vehicle that can help contain flames and reduce the spread of fire to nearby vehicles and structures. During a lithium-ion battery incident, the blanket is primarily a containment tool rather than a method of stopping thermal runaway inside the battery.

Does an EV fire blanket extinguish a lithium battery fire?

An EV fire blanket should not be expected to stop thermal runaway inside a damaged lithium-ion battery pack. Battery cells can continue generating heat internally and may reignite. The blanket is intended to help contain the external fire and reduce fire spread while professional emergency responders manage the incident.

Can an EV fire blanket be used on a Tesla?

Yes, when appropriately sized. Our 18 ft × 24 ft EV fire blanket is designed for passenger electric vehicles and is suitable for many Tesla models, including the Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck, as well as many other EV manufacturers.

Can the blanket be used on other electric vehicles?

Yes. The blanket is suitable for many passenger EVs from manufacturers including Rivian, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Hyundai, Kia, Volkswagen, Nissan, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lucid, Polestar, Volvo, and others, provided the blanket is appropriately sized for the vehicle.

What is thermal runaway in an electric vehicle battery?

Thermal runaway is a process in which a lithium-ion battery cell generates heat faster than it can dissipate it. A failing cell can heat neighboring cells, potentially creating a chain reaction involving intense heat, flammable gases, flames, and repeated flare-ups.

What causes an electric vehicle battery fire?

Potential causes include collision damage, internal cell failures, manufacturing defects, charging-system problems, water intrusion, improper repairs, and severe physical damage to the battery pack.

Can an electric vehicle battery reignite after a fire?

Yes. Damaged lithium-ion battery cells can continue generating heat internally after visible flames have been reduced, creating the possibility of reignition. This is one reason professional emergency response and continued monitoring are important following an EV battery incident.

Should I keep an EV fire blanket in my home garage?

If you regularly charge an electric vehicle in or near your home, an appropriately sized EV fire blanket can be considered as part of a broader emergency-preparedness plan. Store it where it can be reached without moving toward a burning vehicle or blocking your escape route.

Where should an EV fire blanket be stored?

Store the blanket somewhere accessible near—but at a safe distance from—the potential hazard. Possible locations include EV charging facilities, parking garages, fleet buildings, dealerships, service facilities, tow yards, and garages.

The blanket should never be stored where someone would have to approach or pass an involved vehicle to retrieve it.

Do parking garages need EV fire blankets?

Commercial parking facilities with electric vehicle charging may choose to include EV fire blankets as part of their emergency preparedness equipment. The appropriate fire-protection strategy should be determined by the facility's fire-safety plan and applicable requirements.

Are EV fire blankets useful for dealerships?

Auto dealerships, service centers, fleet facilities, and vehicle-storage operations can use EV fire blankets as an additional containment tool when developing emergency-response plans for lithium-ion battery vehicles.

Should towing companies carry EV fire blankets?

Tow and recovery companies handling damaged electric vehicles may consider EV fire blankets as part of their specialized emergency equipment. Damaged lithium-ion battery packs can present hazards even after the original collision or fire event.

Can an EV fire blanket be reused?

Reuse depends on the blanket's condition and manufacturer guidance. A blanket that has been exposed to significant fire, excessive heat, contamination, or physical damage should be inspected carefully and replaced when its protective integrity may have been compromised.

Is an EV fire blanket better than a fire extinguisher?

They serve different purposes. A fire extinguisher applies an extinguishing agent, while an EV fire blanket is primarily intended to cover and contain the involved vehicle and help limit fire spread. Neither should be considered a substitute for professional emergency response during a lithium-ion EV battery fire.

Can one person deploy an EV fire blanket?

Because an EV fire blanket is large and must be positioned over an entire vehicle, deployment is generally easier and safer with two trained people when conditions allow. Never attempt deployment if doing so would require approaching an unsafe fire, entering heavy smoke, or compromising your escape route.

What size EV fire blanket do I need?

The blanket must be large enough to adequately cover the intended vehicle. Our Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket measures 18 ft × 24 ft and is designed for most passenger electric vehicles. Larger commercial vehicles may require specialized equipment or a larger blanket.

Who should consider owning an Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket?

EV fire blankets may be useful emergency-preparedness equipment for electric vehicle owners, parking garages, charging stations, dealerships, repair facilities, fleet operators, towing companies, hotels, commercial properties, fire departments, and other organizations responsible for storing, charging, servicing, or transporting electric vehicles.
