EV, underground parking garage, high rise condo. Not if, but when.

Try getting insurance.

Not parking near one and until they get a safer power source, it’s not going to be in my garage.

In Naples, Florida alone, there have been four reports of Tesla fires since Hurricane Ian struck. EV fires have always posed problems for firefighters. The energy stored in the batteries doesn’t dissipate over time. “So you have the stored energy in the batteries,” Stephen Gollan with Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue told News Nation.

Yep. Can you imagine what a disaster that could be?

I’m from South Dakota and travel distances there are long and chargers for EVs are few. Pity the fool driving an EV during a typical South Dakota winter and running out of charge in the middle of nowhere when temperatures are way below zero. At least they might keep warm for a while if their EV catches fire.
