EV Fire Risk: What Shops Need to Know Now
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026
Welcome back to The Collision Vision, driven by Autobody News. I'm your host, Cole Strandberg. Today we're diving into a topic that's moving quickly from "emerging" to mission-critical for collision repair operators: EV fire safety. As electric vehicles continue to scale across the country, they're bringing with them a very different risk profile. Lithium-ion batteries, especially when damaged in a collision, can experience something called thermal runaway — a chain reaction that can lead to fires that burn hotter, last longer, and even reignite hours or days after the initial incident. That changes everything from how we intake vehicles, to where we store them, to how we protect our teams, our facilities, and our customers. Joining me today is Bruno Lucarelli of EV Safety, a company focused specifically on helping operators understand, prepare for, and mitigate these risks. We're going to talk about what's actually at stake, where shops are most exposed today, and how to think about building the right safety infrastructure as EV volume continues to grow. This is one of those conversations where awareness alone isn't enough. Action is what truly matters. Let's get into it.
