I can not think of any reason that a lithium battery powered vehicle should be permitted to access such a parking garage.

I have a 2 hour ferry crossing I need to take in the summer to get to a summer cabin. Four years ago, I wrote a letter to the ferry operator asking them what their policy was concerning EVs and what provision had they made for dealing with onboard EV fires. No response... so another letter and so on. It’s hard to imagine burying their head in the sand over this issue. The potential for a serious catastrophe on a ferry is huge.

Do they allow EVs to go through long tunnels like the Chunnel? What is their policy and what provisions have they made for something like an EV fire?

Last I heard, there was no such restriction on EVs going through Oakland's Caldecott Tunnel, or Alameda's Posey Tube.
