Summary

Structure of an electric vehicle battery pack and the chain reaction of thermal runaway between cells. Based on Van der Graaf et al. (2021/2023), pp. 21–22.

Original vector illustration for Electric vehicle fire, level 2 Intermediate.

Source basis: Van der Graaf et al. (2021/2023), p. 21 (cell, module and pack voltages, figure 1.1 by Bisschop, Willstrand and Rosengren 2020: redraw, do not copy) and p. 22 (thermal runaway chain reaction, gas release, sealed pack)
Alt text: Cells of about 4 V form modules of up to 60 V and a pack of 300 to 1,000 V; one overheating cell heats its neighbours and vents gas.
