Responder and Recovery Safety in EV Fires Act
This bill requires the Secretary of Transportation to create a working group focused on improving how emergency responders handle fires involving electric vehicles. The group would include representatives from the towing industry, emergency services, automotive manufacturers, research organizations, and federal agencies to review current risks and response methods. Its main task is to develop and update guidance and best practices for safely managing electric vehicle fires, while also tracking incidents in a national database. The working group must submit annual reports to Congress and the public, and it would operate for ten years before ending.
