Lometa AI  ยท  EV & EVSE Risk

Your EV chargers are an asset.
Your fire plan needs to catch up.

We help corporate campuses, fleet operators, and property managers identify EV and EVSE fire risks, build pre-incident plans, and use AI to close the gap between charging infrastructure growth and safety preparedness.

We've trained for EV fires.
Then we worked where EVs are deployed at scale.

Most EV safety consultants come from either the insurance world or the technology world. We come from both โ€” and from the fire service. Our principal holds an NFPA certification in High Voltage Vehicle Firefighting, has active fire service credentials, and has spent 20+ years in senior operations roles at organizations like Microsoft and Meta, where large-scale EV and EVSE deployments are a present-day reality. That combination is unique.

NFPA Certified High Voltage Vehicle Firefighting โ€” trained for the specific hazards of lithium-ion battery thermal events
6+ Years Active fire service โ€” including responding to EV incidents in the field
20+ Years Senior operations at Fortune 500 organizations deploying EV fleets and large-scale EVSE infrastructure

Where we can help

Every engagement is scoped and priced as a fixed-fee project. We work directly with facilities leadership, EHS teams, and fleet managers โ€” delivering written, actionable deliverables your team can implement and share with responding agencies.

01

EV Fire Risk Assessment

A structured evaluation of your parking structures, EVSE deployment, and fleet composition โ€” mapped against NFPA 1, 13, 88A, and 855 โ€” with a written gap analysis and prioritized risk findings.

  • Site survey of parking structures and charger placement
  • Suppression system adequacy review
  • EVSE spacing and separation analysis
  • Written risk report and gap analysis
02

Pre-Incident Plan (PIP) Development

Custom pre-incident plans formatted for your local fire department โ€” covering EVSE locations, electrical shutoffs, water supply points, structural access, and EV-specific response protocols.

  • EVSE location maps and breaker documentation
  • Water supply and drainage capacity summary
  • Structural access and egress routes
  • Coordination with responding fire department
03

EVSE Deployment Review

For organizations planning new EV charging infrastructure โ€” review charger placement plans before installation for fire separation, suppression coverage, drainage adequacy, and code alignment. Prevention costs a fraction of retrofit.

  • Charger placement review against NFPA 88A requirements
  • Fire separation and cascade risk analysis
  • Suppression system coverage assessment
  • Written recommendations before construction begins
04

Suppression Strategy Review

Evaluate whether your existing sprinkler systems โ€” typically designed and installed for gasoline vehicle fires โ€” are adequate for lithium-ion battery thermal runaway, and recommend targeted upgrades or compensating measures.

  • NFPA 13 system review for EV-specific scenarios
  • Water volume and drainage capacity analysis
  • Supplemental suppression options assessment
  • Insurance and liability documentation support
05

AI-Assisted EVSE Monitoring Strategy

Identify and configure AI-powered monitoring across your EVSE telemetry data streams โ€” defining anomaly thresholds, escalation protocols, and integration points so abnormal charge events trigger action before they become incidents.

  • EVSE platform API and telemetry assessment
  • Anomaly detection threshold definition
  • Escalation workflow and alert protocol design
  • Fleet-level battery health analytics strategy
06

Facility & Security Team Training

Tabletop exercises and scenario-based training for corporate security, facilities managers, and EHS teams โ€” so they know what to do in the first critical minutes of an EV fire before fire department arrival.

  • EV fire behavior and re-ignition risk briefing
  • First-response SOP development
  • Tabletop scenario exercises
  • Coordination protocols with local fire departments
07

Emergency Response SOP Development

Build out the facility-side standard operating procedures that define how your organization responds to an EV fire event โ€” from initial detection through fire department handoff and post-incident monitoring for re-ignition risk.

  • Detection and notification procedures
  • Occupant evacuation and communication plan
  • Fire department coordination protocols
  • Post-incident monitoring SOP (24โ€“72 hour re-ignition window)

Built for every organization
with an EV exposure.

EV and EVSE fire risk is not limited to large campuses. Any organization that owns or manages a parking structure with charging infrastructure โ€” or is planning one โ€” has an exposure that a standard facilities safety program doesn't currently address.

๐Ÿข

Corporate Campus Operators

Large campuses deploying hundreds or thousands of EVSE โ€” like Microsoft's Redmond build-out โ€” that need structured risk assessment and pre-incident planning before infrastructure is locked in.

๐Ÿš—

Corporate EV Fleet Operators

Organizations like Genentech running large EV fleets that need fleet-level battery health monitoring strategy and facility-side response planning for thermal events.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Property Developers & Managers

Commercial real estate developers adding EVSE to multi-story structures who need fire separation and suppression review before construction โ€” not after a certificate of occupancy is on the line.

๐Ÿฅ

Healthcare & Life Sciences Campuses

Hospitals, research campuses, and biotech facilities with high EV adoption rates, high-occupancy structures, and elevated consequences for evacuation and business continuity disruption.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ

Insurance & Risk Carriers

Insurers underwriting commercial property or fleet policies who need independent EV fire risk assessments to inform coverage decisions and identify mitigation requirements.

โšก

EVSE Installers & Integrators

Companies installing commercial EV charging infrastructure who want to differentiate by offering safety planning as part of their deployment package โ€” not just hardware and electrical work.
