As Hurricane Milton approaches, Florida fire officials are warning electric vehicle (EV) owners of potential fire hazards associated with lithium-ion batteries in flooded conditions. Emergency services have branded EVs as 'ticking time bombs' and are urging residents to relocate their vehicles to higher ground to prevent risks of ignitions during the storm. To support those evacuating, Florida has deployed temporary mobile charging stations along evacuation routes and encouraged owners to fully charge their cars before the storm hits. Residents have been advised on how to avoid fires and manage hazards in the aftermath of the hurricane, including being cautious with submerged EVs that may catch fire if exposed to saltwater. Tesla has been proactive in notifying owners of precautions and providing mobile Superchargers in affected areas. The situation highlights the unique challenges and safety measures associated with electric vehicles in the face of major weather events.
