The paper contains a comparison of the challenges related to the fires of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV)
and electric vehicles (EV) in car parks, focused on the issues with effective smoke control. The primary differences were identified in the early growth of fire phase, in which the EV fire can grow faster compared to the ICEV. Results
of a multiparametric CFD study are shown, illustrating the role of car park height as the most influential variable
related to the safety of the car park occupants.
