Battery Safety & Community Confidence in Electric Vehicles
Battery safety is a topic of interest in many communities exploring the use of electric vehicles (EVs). This webinar will provide an overview of EV battery systems, common safety questions, and standard best practices for risk assessment, prevention, and response. We will also examine how misinformation and gaps in trust can influence public perception, particularly in rural and middle- to low-income communities. The discussion will highlight effective communication and education strategies that can support transparency, build local confidence, and empower residents to make informed decisions.
