PLP New Zealand understands that as electric vehicle adoption accelerates, so too do the unique fire risks associated with lithium-ion battery systems. Unlike conventional vehicle fires, EV battery fires involve thermal runaway, generating extreme heat, rapid fire spread, toxic smoke, and a high risk of re-ignition. Traditional overhead fire suppression systems are not designed to address these risks effectively, as they cannot reach the source of the fire located within the vehicle’s undercarriage.

To address this critical gap, PLP NZ delivers EV FirePro — a purpose-built, under-vehicle fire suppression system designed to target the source of EV battery fires directly. By combining early heat detection with automatic activation and targeted water application, the system controls heat release, prevents fire spread to adjacent vehicles and structures, and reduces reliance on emergency intervention. This approach enables safer EV infrastructure across residential, commercial, and multi-level environments while protecting people, property, and business continuity.
