Following a recent house fire in Cheras potentially linked to an electric vehicle charging at a private residence, Malaysia’s Fire and Rescue Department is considering implementing safety guidelines for home EV charging. The department acknowledged the increasing adoption of EVs and the potential fire risks associated with charging infrastructure. While the cause of the Cheras fire remains under investigation, officials are proactively addressing safety concerns. These guidelines would likely focus on installation standards, electrical capacity, and safety protocols for residential charging setups. The move aims to prevent similar incidents and ensure public safety as EV ownership grows nationwide. The department hopes to release these guidelines soon to proactively safeguard homes and residents.
