| Abstract | Safety in the use of electric vehicles (EVs) is extremely important. Therefore, this study aims to assess the level of emergency response preparedness for electric vehicles at fire stations in the Lat Krabang district and to analyze the prioritization of factors affecting such preparedness. The study employed a survey questionnaire and data analysis of firefighting personnel, combined with an inspection of equipment inventories. The results indicated that personnel have extensive firefighting experience and have received a high level of training regarding electric vehicles. However, certain types of equipment and model-specific emergency response guides for EVs are still lacking. The prioritization assessment revealed that standards and operational procedures are the most critical factors, followed by equipment and technology, and finally personnel readiness. This reflects the strength of fire stations in terms of personnel, but also highlights limitations in equipment and information systems that need improvement to enhance the effectiveness of EV emergency responses comprehensively. The study underscores the necessity of developing standards and operational procedures covering all EV models, as well as specialized equipment such as high-voltage cutters, insulated gloves, and battery support devices, in order to improve the safety and efficiency of emergency response to electric vehicle incidents. |
