Electric vehicles and the challenge of fire risks in car parks
電動車及停車場火災風險的挑戰
https://imgur.com/GEzljtf
Fire in enclosed spaces
From a fire safety engineering perspective, enclosed spaces such as
underground car parks greatly increase the risk of deadly and destructive
compartment fires. In these situations the heat and fumes from a fire become
trapped, increasing the severity of the fire and its impact on those exposed.
Compartment fires also lead to incomplete combustion, releasing large amounts
of hazardous gases and extreme heat, which can be lethal in such environments.
封閉空間的火災
從消防安全工程的觀點來看,諸如地下停車場那樣的封閉空間大幅增加了具致命性及破
壞性的室內火災風險。在這樣的情況下,火災所產生的炙熱及煙霧被封困,增加了火災
的嚴重性及對暴露其中的那些人的影響。室內火災也會導致不完全的燃燒,釋放出大量
的有害氣體和極高溫,在這樣的環境下將產生致命危險。
As car parks fill up with more and more electric vehicles, these structures
become, essentially, large-scale battery storage systems, greatly heightening
the risk of fire. The installation of charging stations may further increase
the likelihood of a blaze.
當停車場充滿了越來越多的電動車,這樣的構成組合必然會變成一個大型的電池儲存系統
,大幅提升了火災的風險。而充電裝的設置更可能進一步引發烈焰的可能性。

這篇應該是歐洲學者的文章,歐洲在電動車方面推動得比亞洲更早更廣泛,
更早就提出這樣的風險警示也是理所當然。
台灣是比歐洲更地狹人稠的地方,應該是要思考如何採取更高規格的防範,
不應該為了顧及特定產業的業績而迴避了風險問題的本身。
以上供大家參考。
