EV & Charging Stations

Advanced Fire Suppression for EVs and Charging Stations

As electric vehicles (EVs) become more common across farms, fleets, and facilities, so too does the need for specialised fire protection. EV fires – especially from lithium-ion batteries – burn hotter, longer, and are harder to extinguish than traditional vehicle fires.

F-500 Encapsulator Agent is a proven solution, trusted by fire services around the world for rapidly containing and suppressing lithium battery fires. Now, it’s available to help protect your EVs and charging infrastructure – on the road, on the farm, and on your property.

Why Lithium-Ion Battery Fires Are Different

EVs and battery energy storage systems (BESS) use lithium-ion cells that can enter thermal runaway when damaged, overcharged, or exposed to heat. Once this chain reaction begins, traditional extinguishers often can't stop the fire from spreading between battery cells.

That’s where F-500 EA stands out.

F-500 EA actively:

  • Cools burning batteries and surrounding materials far faster than water or foam

  • Encapsulates flammable electrolytes and toxic vapours

  • Interrupts the chemical reaction to help prevent reignition

  • Penetrates into sealed battery packs and modules

  • Does not conduct electricity – safe on live systems

Whether it’s an electric ute on the farm, a fleet vehicle, or a solar-charged EV, F-500 EA is the protection you need when seconds count.

Protection for Electric Vehicles on the Move

Use F-500 EA extinguishers in the vehicle, workshop, or garage

  • Ideal for electric utes, bikes, forklifts, ATVs, and battery-powered farm equipment

  • Portable, lightweight units for first response to fire

  • Safe for use by operators – no toxic fumes or harmful residues

  • Can be integrated into vehicle-mounted suppression systems for added protection

Protection at EV Charging Stations

As more properties and public areas install EV chargers, fire risk from electrical faults, battery overheating, or cable damage increases. F-500 EA provides peace of mind at:

  • On-farm charging stations

  • Rural workshops and machinery bays

  • Public or shared EV charging hubs

  • Solar-integrated charging systems

  • Battery energy storage enclosures

F-500 EA can be installed in fire suppression systems around charging areas or used in nearby fire extinguishers for fast response.
