With the rapid increase in the use of electric vehicles (EVs) in high-rise residential areas, fire accidents caused by EV charging have become increasingly frequent, posing a serious threat to residents lives and property. High-rise residential buildings are characterized by their complex structures and high population density, making issues such as the rapid spread of fires and the difficulty in evacuation and rescue due to improper EV charging particularly pressing. This study analyzes the mechanisms behind the formation of fire hazards associated with EV charging in high-rise residential areas, exploring deeper causes from aspects such as building design, charging facilities, and management supervision. It proposes targeted prevention strategies, including optimizing building fire protection design, improving intelligent charging facilities, and strengthening multi-party collaborative supervision, to enhance the safety of EV charging in high-rise residential areas and prevent fire accidents.
