StaticStop, a division of SelecTech, Inc., and leader in the manufacture of innovative ESD flooring products that save time and money, is pleased to offer antistatic flooring for the manufacture and production of EV parts, as well as the vehicles themselves.

Few industries are growing as quickly and generating as much excitement as the electric vehicle industry. EVs are an important step towards making low-emission transportation commonplace. Here’s how antistatic flooring plays a key role in the manufacture and production of EVs.

Protection and Safety

Antistatic flooring is critical to the EV industry because it helps protect against electrical hazards. Protecting against these hazards is important to ensure the safety of employees, equipment, and facilities. This specialized flooring provides electrical grounding and prevents the buildup of static electricity, which can cause sparks, fires, and other dangerous electrical events.

In the EV industry, many things can cause the buildup of static electricity. These include the movement of workers, vehicles, and materials, as well as the transfer of electrical charges between different materials. This can pose a significant threat to the safety of employees and equipment, as well as the quality and reliability of the final product.

To prevent static electricity from building up and forming a spark, it needs a path to the ground. Antistatic flooring provides a low electrical resistance path that helps to safely discharge static electricity to the ground. This eliminates the risk of electrical hazards, including sparks, fires, and explosions. Using flooring that will dissipate static electricity in EV facilities is especially important in areas where flammable materials are present, such as fuel stations and battery storage areas.

Quality and Reliability

In addition to its safety benefits, antistatic flooring also helps to maintain the quality and reliability of EV products. The discharge of static electricity can interfere with the normal functioning of electrical components, leading to damage and reduced performance. Antistatic flooring helps to minimize this risk, ensuring the consistent performance of EV products.
