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.
