Abstract
Generalized data on fires in the world involving electric vehicles are presented. Some examples of fire hazardous situation development when using charging stations without inbuilt protection systems are considered. A method of fire risk assessment in enclosed surface and underground car parks with the availability of parking spaces for charging electric vehicles is shown. Explanations on the peculiarities of preventing and extinguishing fires involving an electric vehicle or charging station are given. One of the examples of performing a fire risk assessment based on the ERIC index method is analyzed with the indication of measures to eliminate and mitigate the consequences of a possible fire in the types of car parks under consideration.
