Taipei's Fire Department: Drivers of electronic vehicles should stay alert
Posted on 2025-06-24 19:30:13
And,

Taipei's Fire Department is warning electric vehicle owners about fire risks,
after recording 49 EV-related fires over the past seven years.

Electric bicycles made up 60 percent of those cases.

The department is urging the public to take extra precautions with lithium
battery charging.

The most important advice: don't overcharge—and stop immediately if you
notice warning signs like battery swelling or overheating.

Officials also advise using only dedicated charging equipment—no adapters or
extension cords—and avoiding any pulling, squeezing, or dragging of cables
to prevent damage.

Charging should be done away from open flames, with no flammable items
nearby, and always in a designated parking area.

The Fire Department says awareness is key to preventing serious accidents.
