        abstract = {The electrification of transportation has led to a rapid expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market, driven by lower operational costs and environmental benefits. However, concerns over EV fire hazards have grown due to numerous reported incidents. This study conducts a Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) analysis of EV components and a failure analysis of lithium-ion batteries to identify potential risks. Additionally, an evaluation of current fire suppression systems and regulatory standards in India and internationally reveals a focus on fire prevention and thermal management, with limited emphasis on post-ignition fire protection and real-time suppression capabilities. To bridge this critical gap, the study proposes a novel, target-specific fire mitigation framework. This includes the development of an integrated fire detection and suppression system designed to address the distinct operational conditions of EVs.},
