Dafo launches EV-Garm safety monitoring system for batteries

Dafo Vehicle Fire Protection has announced the launch of EV-Garm, a carbon monoxide sensing system specifically designed for electric vehicles (EVs) undergoing repair, service and maintenance. EV-Garm sets a new standard in safety monitoring for automobile repair facilities, offering crucial protection by detecting early signs of Li-ion battery venting/thermal runaway and minimizing potential hazards.

As the global shift towards electric vehicles accelerates, so does the need for advanced safety solutions. Powered by Li-ion batteries, EVs present unique challenges like, fire risks, including thermal runaway, which can lead to fires, toxic gas emissions, and even explosions. Traditional fire detection systems often fail to detect these risks early enough. EV-Garm addresses this critical gap by providing real-time monitoring and early detection of battery malfunctions, helping workshops ensure the safety of their staff and minimize downtime.

EV-Garm’s sensors are designed to be placed close to the vehicle’s battery over-pressure valve, ensuring they can detect early signs of Li-ion battery venting. In the event of battery distress or failure, the system will immediately trigger a loud siren, flashing lights, and a notification, alerting workshop staff to take prompt action and follow necessary safety procedures.

Tommy Carnebo, EV Risk Specialist at Dafo Vehicle, stated: “As electric vehicles become more common, the importance of advanced safety systems like EV-Garm cannot be overstated. This product is developed in close cooperation with the industry, and we are thrilled to offer a solution that will not only protect lives but also improve operational efficiency.”
EV-Garm’s innovative, patent-pending technology is poised to become the new benchmark in EV maintenance safety. Designed to be easy to install and operate, it is an essential tool for any facility handling electric vehicles.
