Lithium-ion battery fires start fast and burn hot — this kit gives you two layers of defence. Knock a fire down early with our 4L EV fire extinguisher, and contain what you can't with our 5m x 5m fire blanket. A practical step up from a basic kit, suited to smaller vehicles, mobility scooters, home charging, and workshops.
What's included
4L EV Fire Extinguisher — a rapid first response formulated for lithium-ion battery fires, well suited to home charging, workshops, and light commercial use. Complies with EN 3-7:2004 + A1:2007.
5m x 5m EV Fire Blanket — contains and controls a fire caused by thermal runaway, starving it of oxygen and limiting spread. Tested to EN 13501, with a maximum working temperature of 1100°C.

4L EV Fire Extinguisher
Engineered for the high-temperature, volatile nature of lithium-ion battery fires, our 4L extinguisher delivers a quick, efficient response in an emergency — a practical mid-size capacity for home charging, workshops, and fleet use.
5m x 5m EV Fire Blanket
Our 5m x 5m containment blanket creates an oxygen-starved environment that smothers flames and reduces toxic smoke — a critical second line of defence given how easily lithium-ion fires reignite. Rated to a 1100°C working temperature and tested to EN 13501, it's well suited to smaller vehicles, mobility scooters, and use in workshops, garages, and facilities where lithium-ion equipment is charged or stored.
(Note: for full coverage of a passenger EV, see our 8m x 6m car bundles — the 5m x 5m is best suited to smaller vehicles and equipment.)

FAQs
General Questions
Why do I need specialised equipment for EV fires?
Lithium-ion battery fires are fundamentally different from conventional fires. They burn at extreme temperatures (up to 1600°C), can reignite hours after suppression, and release toxic gases. Traditional fire extinguishers and blankets aren't designed for these conditions and may be ineffective or even dangerous to use.
Will regular fire extinguishers work on EV fires?
Standard ABC or CO2 extinguishers are not formulated for lithium-ion battery fires. They may temporarily suppress flames but won't address thermal runaway or prevent reignition. Our specialized extinguisher is specifically designed to cool batteries and interrupt the thermal runaway process.
How likely is my EV to catch fire?
EV fires are statistically rare—studies show EVs have fewer fires per vehicle than petrol cars. However, when they do occur, they're more severe and harder to control. Having proper safety equipment is about being prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Product-Specific Questions
How do I use the extinguisher?
Follow the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire (or battery area), Squeeze the handle, Sweep from side to side. For battery fires, focus on cooling the battery pack area.
How quickly can I deploy the blanket?
With practice, deployment takes around 60–90 seconds. Given its size, we recommend two people deploy it for speed and safety. Familiarise yourself with it when it arrives (without exposing it to fire).
Where should I store this equipment?
Yes — always call 000 immediately. This equipment is designed to contain and control a fire until emergency services arrive, not to replace them.
Do these products expire?
Keep the extinguisher accessible near your vehicle or charging station — wall-mounted brackets work well. Store the blanket in its bag nearby, wall-mounted or in a clearly labelled cabinet.
Should I still call emergency services if I have this equipment?
The extinguisher should be inspected annually and serviced per the manufacturer's specifications. The blanket has no fixed expiry but should be inspected regularly for damage.
Usage & Deployment
How do I use the fire extinguisher?
Follow the PASS method: Pull the pin, Aim at the base of the fire (or battery area), Squeeze the handle, Sweep from side to side. For EV fires, focus on cooling the battery pack area.
How quickly can I deploy the blanket?
With practice, deployment takes 60-90 seconds. We recommend familiarizing yourself with the deployment process when you receive it (without exposing it to fire). In an emergency, two people can deploy it faster and more safely.
Should I call emergency services even if I have this equipment?
Absolutely YES. Always call 000 immediately when an EV fire occurs. This equipment is designed to contain and control the fire until emergency services arrive, not replace professional firefighters.
Can I put out an EV fire by myself?
Only attempt to fight small fires in the early stages, and only if it's safe to do so. If the fire is large, spreading rapidly, or you're uncertain, evacuate immediately and wait for emergency services. Your safety comes first.
Maintenance & Storage
How do I maintain the extinguisher?
Conduct monthly visual inspections: check the pressure gauge is in the green zone, ensure the pin and seal are intact, and look for any physical damage. Professional servicing may be required—check with local fire equipment service providers.
Where should I store this equipment?
Store the extinguisher in an easily accessible location near your vehicle or charging station—wall-mounted brackets work well. Keep the blanket in its storage bag nearby, either wall-mounted or in a clearly labeled cabinet.
Do these products expire?
The extinguisher should be inspected annually and may need servicing every 5 years depending on the manufacturer's specifications. The blanket has no expiration date but should be inspected regularly for damage.
Can I store these in my garage where temperatures vary?
Yes, both products are designed for garage storage and can withstand normal temperature variations. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme moisture or direct chemical contact.
Commercial & Insurance Questions
Will this help with insurance compliance?
Many insurers are beginning to require EV-specific fire safety equipment for commercial facilities and fleets. Contact your insurance provider to discuss how this equipment may impact your premiums or compliance requirements.
Is this suitable for commercial EV service centers?
Absolutely. This bundle is ideal for workshops, service centers, dealerships, and fleet facilities. You may need multiple sets depending on the size of your operation.
Do I need training to use this equipment?
While the equipment is designed for intuitive use, we strongly recommend fire safety training for commercial applications. Contact your local fire brigade for information about EV fire safety courses.
