Amazon Electric Vans Ignite In Houston Heat. Rivian Rules Out Battery Fault

Electric vehicle fires are rare, but they quickly make headlines due to the new technology and ongoing public education about EV safety. A recent incident that caught our attention involved three Rivian Amazon Electric Delivery Vans bursting into flames at an Amazon fulfillment center in Houston, Texas, this week. For starters, Amazon is using thousands of EDVs made by Rivian to cut its emissions. The fleet is quickly expanding and they're already all over the U.S.

Some immediate safety precautions have also been taken at the site. The chargers connected to the damaged circuit panel board have all been turned off. Amazon electrical engineers and a high-voltage specialist determined that the rest of the chargers at the site were safe to use. Studies have shown that EVs catch fire a lot less compared to combustion engine vehicles. In the rare instances when they do, the fires are dramatic and excruciatingly difficult to douse.
