Blažek, Štěpán James ; Sitek, Tomáš (referee) ; Preisler, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the causes and formation of fires in electric vehicle batteries. The first part summarizes the theory related to types of batteries, used materials, and reviews the phenomenon known as Thermal runaway. The second part of the thesis describes the burning of electric vehicles, providing basic categorization of fire occurrence in electric vehicles and the phenomena accompanying them. The statistical comparison of the current and future development of the number of fires in electrically powered vehicles in the Czech Republic compared to conventional combustion engines, data analysis, and recommendations are summarized in the final part of the bachelor thesis. From the given statistics, it is evident that an electric vehicle is less likely to catch fire, however, it is acompanied by the release of hazardous gases, creating a significant challange in terms of fire extinguishing.
