Plugged into Safety: A primer on the hazards of working with battery electric vehicles | March 2024
" It has been argued that LIBs (Lithium-Ion Batteries)
have penetrated everyday life faster than our
understanding of the risks and challenges associated
with them. The current safety standards in the car
industry have benefited from over 130 years of
evolution and refinement, and Electric Vehicle (EV)
and LIB are comparably in their infancy."
