Bomba cadang garis panduan keselamatan cas EV di rumah
Ketua Pengarahnya Nor Hisham Mohammad berkata langkah itu penting susulan peningkatan penggunaan kenderaan elektrik ketika ini.
Malaysia's Bomba dan Penyelamat (JBPM) plans to propose a safety guidelines framework for inspecting electric vehicle (EV) home charging units, following the increasing number of EVs on the roads. Current records show around 25 EV-related fires from four categories in the past three years, stated JBPM Deputy Chief Nor Hisham Mohammad.
He said that limited fire detection in homes, especially after miniaturization circuit breakers (MCB) fail, is a concern. While investigating the possible causes for EV fires, including the vehicle itself, the charger, charging station, or connecting wiring, Nor Hisham pointed out that the number of EV fires has not shown a sudden increase over the years.
At a press event commemorating the JBPM Skills Development Program, he also advised EV owners to use certified and reputable chargers for home installations. He emphasized that the EV charging process typically takes seven to eight hours and the risk of electrical fires still exists.
