This legislation directs the Secretary of Transportation to establish an Electric Vehicle Fire Response Working Group within 90 days of enactment. The primary purpose of this working group is to address the unique challenges associated with electric vehicle fires, particularly those occurring during roadside incidents. The working group will be composed of at least 22 members, drawing expertise from a wide range of stakeholders. This includes representatives from the towing industry , various emergency response personnel (fire chiefs, firefighters, EMS, police), the automotive industry (EV manufacturers, battery makers), and research and standards-setting organizations like NFPA and SAE. Federal agencies such as the NTSB, NHTSA, FHWA, and the U.S. Fire Administration will also contribute members. Key duties of the working group involve continuously reviewing known and developing risks related to EV fires, assessing existing best practices and guidance, and analyzing actual roadside incidents. Based on this ongoing review, the group is tasked with periodically issuing or updating best practices and guidance for effectively responding to electric vehicle fires. Furthermore, the working group is required to report roadside incidents involving EV fires for inclusion in the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) database , coordinating with the United States Fire Administration to ensure comprehensive data. These reports should detail incident location, time, scene conditions, response procedures, and outcomes. The bill also mandates that the working group submit an annual report to Congress , summarizing any new or updated best practices and guidance, as well as issues currently under consideration. The working group is designed to operate for a period of 10 years from its establishment date.
