What it does
The bill would require the Secretary of Transportation to establish an Electric Vehicle Fire Response Working Group within 90 days of enactment to review risks, existing practices, and roadside incidents involving electric vehicle fires, and to periodically issue or update best practices and guidance for responding to such fires. The working group would include at least 22 members representing towing, emergency response, automotive industry, research and standards organizations, and federal agencies, and would serve without compensation. It would also maintain a database of electric vehicle fire incidents, submit annual reports to Congress, and terminate 10 years after its establishment.
