Authorities are warning electric vehicle owners about the dangers of using incompatible charging equipment after a garage in Melbourne’s southeast went up in flames. The fire in the garage of the Glen Waverley home was linked to a “travel adaptor connected to an aftermarket charging lead” used to charge the car. Fire Rescue Victoria said its crew were able to control the blaze within 10 minutes of arriving at the home on September 24.
To prevent fires, FRV recommends purchasing products from reputable suppliers and following the manufacturer’s instructions. “Only use chargers and cords that are originally supplied with that device. “Using chargers with incorrect power delivery can cause damage to the battery or overheating that can lead to fires. “Check that chargers have the regulatory compliance mark, to show that they meet the relevant Australian Standards,” a FRV spokesperson said.
